Anyway, saw this movie in the early 80s, think it was told from the female lead’s POV. They’re skiing in the Alps or God knows where, everybody has feathered or shock-cut blonde hair, she loses her virginity in romantic mountain cabin, everybody wears headbands, etc., etc.
That’s all I can remember in my buzzed nostalgic state of intoxication.
Might it be Just the Way You Are? It is a fine Kristy McNichol, French Alps, skiing vehicle which intoxication could only have helped. I, on the other hand, sat through it stone cold sober. Owwww.
I think you’re thinking of <a href=“http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0087425/”>Hot Dog: The Movie</a>, which starred David Naughton, best remembered for his black-vest-bedecked character in late-70s Dr Pepper commercials.
The links don’t jog my meomory, but it is something I’d have to see again to remember. I vaguely recall that it had an unusual structure… maybe it was told in flashbacks or diary entries.
Thanks, though, and what the hell ever happened to David Naughton, anyway? His brother does good stage work (James, I think his name is), but poor Dave sorta disappeared after “American Werewolf.”
Not sure, but I like the review. My film may have been almost a soft-porn R-rated flick. I distinctly remember the young skier’s breasts in the seduction on the bearskin rug in the cabin scene… I think the young female lead was not American… maybe French, Swiss, etc., the male seducer may have been a visiting American.
I’ll go rent it and let you know. God, I’m sure the young clerks at the video store will talk about the pathetic old man from the 80s after I leave with it…
