The Age of Commercialism

Good concept, poorly executed.

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

"Matt Taylor" (Tony Denison) is a successful ad executive who works in a very competitive field. So when his assistant leaves him and a rush project is dumped in his lap the first thing he does is to hire someone to take her place. The person he chooses is a smart and attractive woman named "Nicole Landon" (Kathleen Kinmont) who tells him at the interview that she was fired from her last job due to sexual harassment. Not one to hold that against a person Matt hires her and they begin to work immediately on the rush assignment. However, what Nicole did not tell Matt is that she was raped during the incident in question and that she killed her boss in the process. Neither does Matt realize that Nicole has been terribly traumatized by this event . Now rather than reveal any more of this movie and risk spoiling it for those who haven't seen it I will just say that, along with a pretty good plot, there were also a number of beautiful actresses in this film as well. I especially thought Karen Roe (as "Katrina") and Lisa Marie Scott ("Kyoko") really stood out but Meilani Paul ("Bianca"), Taliso Soto ("Susan Taylor") and the aforementioned Kathleen Kinmont certainly didn't hurt the scenery in any way either. Be that as it may, I thought this was a pretty good sex-drama and I have rated it accordingly. Slightly above average.

I had first seen Kathleen Kinmont in Fraternity Vacation when she did the infamous scene with the equally gorgeous Barbara Crampton and fell in love with both Barbara and Kathleen.I recently saw Kathleen in The Corporate Ladder when I had the opportunity to do so and she is the reason why I gave it 10 out of 10. Sure the other girls who appeared naked in this Meilani Paul and Lisa Marie Scott are very nice to look at but Kathleen's nude scenes are extremely pleasurable to look at. Her nude scenes include a striptease at an office and by the pool. It has made me fall in love with her all over again.Whether she has any clothes or not Kathleen looks extremely lovely in every scene she is in.That is why Kathleen is on top of The Corporate Ladder.

I can hardly remember this film. All I remember is that it's another one of those films with a silly script, but worth seeing for the nudity. What can I tell you, this guy meets a girl in the office, where they mention something about the "corporate ladder". Eventually they fall in love and start to have a lot of scenes of sex. Unfortunately no lesbian scene, but I think it came close to one. Apart from that I can't really remember the rest. The girl has a nice body and nice breasts, that's all I can remember. If I were you, just see it for the nudity, apart from that one thing this is pretty rubbish. Silly script, good nudity, that's it.

"The Corporate Ladder", quite possibly, is one of the best softcore-erotica/thriller movies ever made. It goes right up there with "Scorned." The first time I seen this movie, I was hooked. First off, it's a Playboy-produced film, which means the "Women" grade should be pretty darn high.....and it is.Matt Taylor, a fashion executive, is searching high and low for a replacement for his outgoing assistant. After a parade of nobodies and has-beens and never-weres, he's ready to give up. He's ready to call it a day.....but in walks this nicely-proportioned blonde with a body to die for and a "come hither" smile. It's Nicole Landon, played with reckless abandon by Kathleen Kinmont. She's an unstable woman with a checkered past and a penchant for moving around from place to place.Anyway, she lands the job and begins working closely with Matt. She comes up with great ideas and even takes the lead on a couple of photo shoots. Eventually, it comes down to "Will they or won't they?" Hey folks, this is a Playboy movie--of course they will! Matt doesn't want to at first, since he's married to Susan, a nice-looking woman in her own right.Ben Cross plays Matt's main rival Jay Williams, the prototypical playboy with all the money, a nice house and a nice ride. He appears in the SAME SCENE ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS!!!! All three scenes are the same in terms of camera movement and angles, lines, actions....everything except the woman in the scene is the same. He plays a major role in the action later on in the movie.Matt and Nicole have sex a couple more times during the film, which is leading Nicole to believe that she really has something going on with Matt. During a tense scene right before the big finish, Matt attempts to let Nicole down easy, which leads Nicole into a psychotic tirade. The camera spins around Matt and Nicole, adding to the tension and plays up the unpredictability of Nicole's mental state."...What's so wrong with me, Matt? Am I not exactly what you want? I can be your intellectual equal at work, and I can be your whore in bed! Isn't that what you want, isn't that what every man wants??" Nicole screams, scenery spinning behind her. At this point, she has a nervous breakdown and makes it a point to hunt Matt down and cut him into little pieces.The movie doesn't really have a dull moment, and the story was actually good. The sex scenes, albeit short in duration, did their job in moving the story along. Kathleen Kinmont was simply awesome in this movie. Her sexy striptease she does in the middle of the film resembles, in terms of placement, the striptease Rochelle Swanson does in "Mutual Needs", a similar movie made at about the same time.In short, a great movie. For an erotic thriller, it ran a little long (1 hour, 52 minutes) but it didn't really drag at any point. Some folks call this a poor man's "Fatal Attraction" and I can't help but agree with them.
