Cindy Pickett does a great job as Valerie, in this serious love story of sorts. She is a woman who has been raped in her youth and is still trying to overcome the trauma of the rape. She is seeking a normal life with her husband and finds it useless to attend therapy. So along comes Sean Daniels, a Welsh man, with some imaginative, erotic ideas of his own. Sean Daniels(Paul Jenkins), accent alone will arouse many a woman.

Through a combination of the gentle love, kindness, and her imagination, she resolves the dilemma. I find that this movie appeals to the romantic men and women of the world. The beauty of the bodies (both men and women) and the costumes are very arousing. I liked this movie because it proves some men do prefer small breasts, contrary to popular belief. I rate this movie a 10 out of 10 stars. I own it on VHS and have watched it at least 20 times since I first saw it in 1980 at the drive in theater.
