Into the Fire

First of all, nothing new about the plot. You should have seen it in dozen other similar movies. A drifter came into small town looking for a job. Got a job with a couple. The husband is abusive. The wife is seductive. You can guess the rest. But Olivia D'abo and Susan Anspach show their assets several times and the bedroom scenes is quite engaging. So with better than average performances and two beautiful actress in nude this DVD should satisfy fans of this genre. The DVD is in full screen only, but the picture is acceptable. The 2.0 mono sound is quite clear. Not bad for a budget DVD. Collectable.

Seems like the former handyman disappeared and a new one is needed. Wade, the drifter, takes the job from Dirk and meets his aging beauty wife, played with reckless abandon by Susan Anspach (Rosalind). Well, it's not too long before good old Wade is bedding both the waitress, Leyette, and Rosalind. He also discovers that Dirk is nasty to his wife, she showing up with bruises and cuts. Although Wade suggests that Rosalind call the police or leave Dirk, she suggests something better: let's murder him! Dirk is reluctant at first but a series of events leads him to accept the challenge but things aren't quite what they ... Read more
