Review of Bolero (1984) by Grant S — 25 Aug 2018
Well deserving of its poor reputation.
Set in the 1920s, a young woman sets out to lose her virginity. Her mission leads her to a Moroccan sheik and a Spanish bullfighter.
Very weak, to the point of laughable. Very basic, stupid plot. Dialogue is pretty silly too. Performances are in keeping with the general superficiality of the movie.
It's really just a skinflick with delusions of being something more romantic and serious.
One of many movies written and directed by John Derek where he just used his young (30 years his junior) wife, Bo Derek, as eye candy. The other ones (Tarzan The Ape Man, Fantasies, Ghosts Can't Do It) have met with similar low regard.
Poor George Kennedy - he really deserved better.
