Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaOne of at least six 1980s movies which featured eroticism in relation to actress Meg Tilly. These pictures included 'Impulse' (1984), which featured posters sold on a love scene with Tilly; 'Psycho II' (1983), which positioned Tilly nude in a Bates mansion shower and exiting it naked; 'The Big Chill' (1983), where Tilly performed erotic exercises; 'Masquerade' (1988), which featured steamy love scenes with Tilly and '80s hunk Rob Lowe; Milos Forman's 'Valmont' (1989), which was a version of the 1782 French seduction games novel 'Dangerous Liaisons' ('Les Liaisons dangereuses') by Choderlos de Laclos; and 'The Girl in a Swing' (1988), which featured passion in its tagline, and featured Tilly predominantly naked on a movie poster, declaring it ''the year's most erotic mystery''. Moreover, Tilly played a lady of the night in the 'Some Like It Hot-Wired' (1982) episode of 'Hill Street Blues'. In contra-position to these, Tilly in the '80s played a nun involved in virgin conception in Norman Jewison's 'Agnes of God' (1985).
