Hidden Passion (1999)

Hidden Passion is yet another late-night cable Soft Core “thriller”. Kim Dawson (Scandal: Sweet Revenge, The Escort III) stars as the unhappily-married wife of (what else?) a mobster (Jonathan Fraser; Sheer Passion, Confessions of a Lap Dancer) who runs into an old boyfriend, played by Jason Schnuit of The Model Solution semi-fame. They start an affair and subsequently scheme to get her out of her relationship with her mobster hubbie, all of which, not very surprisingly, works out in the end. Let’s be frank. We don’t watch these movies because of some enticing storyline or incredible acting. They’re all devoid of both. We watch because of their requisite sex scenes, and this movie gets a split recommendation in this particular department. If you want a diverse bunch of ladies in various states of undress, then move on. Outside of Dawson and Tami Moss, most of the nudity is incidental background fluff, generally at the dimly-lit stripclub in which so many scenes take place. However, on the flip side of the coin, the two make for some interesting sex objects. Moss’ scene is fairly hot, largely due to her incredible body, but Dawson takes the cake for the best faked orgasm in her climactic (pun very much so intended…) scene with Schnuit. They may not have been having actual sex but we have to say, it sure looked like ol’ Kim was getting her rocks off.
