A trashy hoot!, 16 March 2001
5/10
Author: moonspinner55 from redlands, ca

Esther Williams--straying too far from her swimming tank! Laughable melodrama in which Williams plays a totally innocent music teacher who attracts the unwanted advances of a lustful (and, I would say, psychologically damaged) teenage student well-played by John Saxon, who doesn't go too far with the wild-eyed-bit. Saxon would like to teach Esther a thing or two about the birds and the bees--and judging from her complacent demeanor, she could probably use it! Worse, when she complains to the boy's father, the snarling wolf sexually harasses her too! Strictly B-grade stuff, although Edward Andrews is impressively creepy as Saxon's father, Williams OK in a pretty hopeless role. Actress Rosalind Russell co-wrote the story, but perhaps was too old to play the lead herself. ** from ****
