The opening tableau in this John Travis film is a classic, combing a red-hot seduction with the innocent humor of “his first time.” If you saw Full Load, you’ll remember Doug Niles as the young man with the non-sexual role. In this scene he bares body and soul – and we see the birth of a new superstar.
Niles has one of those face with which the camera falls in love: from certain angles he looks classically handsome, while from others he looks like the average Joe next door. Best of all, however, are those moments when the camera catches him somewhere in between, as a guy too unsure of himself to be an Adonis, but too unique to be overlooked in a crowd. Travis directs this hotter-than-hell scene with full awareness of what he’s doing – and Mike Henson makes an ideal partner.
If the rest of the tape is not up to this high standard, it’s not Travis’ fault. The bus scenes are well-done (if we suspend our sense of reality a bit), but the excitement is definitely at a lower pitch. Travis seems to sense the fall-off, as he tries to compensate for the lesser heat with increasingly clever “gimmicks.” But the technical quality is consistently high, as usual with Catalina, and no one will be bored!
