Colleen McCullough (of Thornbirds fame) seems to specialize in novels of forbidden love. In modern times, not very much is forbidden; hence, she conjures up stories about priests and develomentally delayed adults. I consider this film to border on soft porn, though there is no nudity. Okay, maybe some nudity - but the film lighting was very DARK at that point. And Mel wears extremely short shorts during most of the film. Probably the reason I keep renting this silly movie.
