Storyline

18-year-old Sean's first summer after completing high school is much spent with 28-year-old teacher Diane, whose husband is too often motorcycle-racing instead of with her. Wacko Ralph also has "the hots" for Diane; and it doesn't help that Sean was with Ralph's younger brother, Lou, when Lou died. Written by Kim Williams <KDWms@webtv.net>

Goofs

During the pool scene at Sean's house, when he is pushed into the pool, water splashes onto the camera lens. For the rest of the shot, it is apparent when focus on the lens is changed because the drops rotate around the center of the shot. See more »

Cougar Prowls The Halls
9 June 2010 | by (Buffalo, New York) – See all my reviews

Now if you just want to see some really nice shots of Angel Tompkins's bosoms than The Teacher is definitely your kind of film. It's barely half a step above soft core porn when she and Jay North get down to the deed.

I'm sure Jay North was seeing this as some kind of comeback film for him after Dennis The Menace and Maya where he could finally establish himself as an adult star. And what better way than to finally have some screen sex with an older woman.

But the acting in this film was some of the worst ever put on celluloid and the photography looked like it was shot with my father's old Bell&Howell movie camera.

Angel's is a 28 year old high school teacher on her summer vacation with the rest of her peers and she's also a neighbor of one of her recently graduated students, Jay North. Her husband has up and left her both miserable and horny. She lights on North and the two of them go at it hot and heavy.

Not that North hasn't noticed here, but so has creepy Anthony James. He spies on her occasionally from his crib in an abandoned warehouse. One day North and friend Rudy Herrera who is James's younger brother go up to the crib to take a gander for themselves and James spots them, while fleeing Herrera falls off a catwalk and James in his twisted sociopathic logic holds North responsible. Both for the death of his brother and the fact he has taken up with the object of his voyeurism.

Sammy Fain and Paul Francis Webster wrote a truly insipid song for this film and it saddens me that two Oscar winning songwriters got reduced to this in order to find work in Hollywood.

It all ends badly for the protagonists as Angel the cougar learns the error of her ways.

For fans of Angel Tompkins's bosoms only.
