Brothers John Savage and Will McMillan have a complicated relationship, but this film doesn't do well by its writing in making it complex. As for the women in their life, Anne Saxon and Meredith Baer, they seem to be cast for their willingness to disrobe on a moment's notice, and just because you add soft sounding music to the background of them walking around naked doesn't necessarily make it classier. This film has an element of a crime drama to it, but there is such little action outside of them romping around the glamorous swimming pool of Savage's mansion that for much of the running time, the film just lays there and goes nowhere, only on occasion coming to life. It is a beautifully made film physically with gorgeous colorful photography very vivid, but for the most part, the characters really uninteresting and little to no acting necessary in barely fleshing them out. Another truly mediocre seventies B film that has little point and quickly out wears its welcome.
