I just caught "Flareup" from 1969 on TCM and I'm glad that I did because it was a pretty good film and much better than I expected it to be. It had good character development and various locations with a swiftly moving plot. It never stood still for too long and the end was satisfying enough. I especially liked the relationship which developed between Raquel and her beau (James Stacy) as it felt real and relatable and was done in a tasteful, honest, but simple way -- something which is in actuality rarely done well in films or art in general. Good acting all around, I rate this film a 7/10, though I don't mean to oversell it. I think that the few nude scenes cheapen the film as nudity often does which perhaps accounts for its forgotten status.
