Diana Barton in Sexual Malice (1994)

Review

Close-up of woman looking rather the worse for wear. She asks for a cigarette. As she lights it, pan back to show that she is in a police interrogation room. Someone asks her to tell them what happened:

She: "I don't know where to begin ..."
He: "How about at the beginning?"

At this point, that would normally have been the last word I heard as I hit eject. Which of the hundreds of possibilities was this the trite beginning of? A soft-core called Sexual Malice. Short version of plot ... bored housewife finds passion and trouble in the arms of another man.

Christine (Diana Barton) is a well-paid account manager at an accounting firm, and her husband teaches at a local college. The passion has been gone from their marriage for a long time. She still loves him. Based on his performance, I think he had been dead for several years before this was made.

Her best friend talks her into going to a conference in Santa Barbara to take her mind off of her troubles, and they end up at a male strip club. Christine's friend notices that one particular stud makes Christine's groin quiver, and raises the relative humidity in her nickers. Christine finds what she has been missing when her friend slips her hotel key card into that dancer's jock strap. They have a torrid affair, but her life crumbles when she is arrested for his murder.

Christine has some acting ability, and was pretty hot, despite the sex being relatively tame. If you are in the mood to waste some time on a soft-core, this one will probably work.

IMDB Summary: 2.4 out of 10, but that is the normal film scale. After adjustment for the soft-core factor, it is more like a 5.5/10.
