Radley Metzger's final feature is a sweet but slight erotic twist on the "Prince and the Pauper" story. Conservative socialite Audrey Swallow (saucer-eyed Carol Levy) meets up with her look-alike college pal Lucy Darling (also Levy), who is now a jet-setting call girl. Days before her wedding, Audrey is enlisted for a small favor: she fills in for Lucy on an erotic weekend jaunt to the Mediterranean and discards her virginal restraint for wild sexual abandon. Levy plays Audrey with good humor and elegant grace, flirting and teasing with the beautiful people of Europe's vacation playgrounds with a mix of giddy anticipation and unleashed inhibition, but does little to differentiate the more casually carnal Lucy, who fills in for Audrey at her own wedding when a canceled flight disrupts well-laid plans. With little to the story or the characters, the film survives largely on Levy's charms (she's no Meryl Streep but exhibits a flair for comic understatement) and the gorgeous Monaco and French coast locations. Though he approached similar themes more effectively in Score, Metzger's coyly romantic view of sexuality can be rather refreshing, if not altogether convincing. --Sean Axmaker

For being a Metzger movie I expected a lot more! In the 70's he was a "pioneer" in erotic cinema, I thought that in the 80's he would go further, WRONG! The story is good and very original, but there is just not enough sex appeal throughout the movie, the few scenes are very "unerotic" and for being the 80's could have definately been more "daring"!
