Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

From the previous comment: "then one will be alright with it." Having all that is said,I don't think I would ever deluded myself into thinking this was anything but a erotic thriller. But when this made-to-video flick came out in 1992,"The Other Woman" is regarded as one of the greatest erotica thrillers to ever come out of the 1990's. This is director Jag Mundhra's best work and he takes erotica to new heights never before mentioned here. It is one of the great "soft-porn" flicks to ever grace the 1990's,and it has a very interesting plot about a journalist(Lee Ann Beaman) who not only uncovers something big against the mob,but also finds some startling information about her husband's lover. Not only that it has put a strain on her marriage,but she also has some skeletons in her closet that brings a dark secret on her past. She also finds out that the other woman(Jenna Persaud,a former Penthouse model of Middle Eastern decent brought a splash of color to its magazines during the 1980's and 1990's makes her debut here as a actress)is having not only an affair with her husband,but also she has a sexual attraction to her(which in turns reveals the dark secret to her lesbian past). What results here is some of the greatest erotica ever filmed where as it succeeds where others failed.The question is to why this gem of a movie is not available on DVD is a crying shame. When it was released straight to video in 1992,there were two versions to this movie that are floating around and its only available on VHS,which with Beta and the Laserdisc are the age of the dinosaur. The "R" rated or "cable" version has several scenes that are deleted. It is best to get the "Unrated" version of this movie which has some great scenes. In the "Unrated" version,there are two,count them,two juicy lesbian sex scenes in this movie. The first one,where it has Lee Ann Beaman's character going back to her dark past and looking into the photos of her mother,and the scene of where she finds her mother and her female friend,making out in the bedroom. The other scene is where Lee Ann Beaman and her co-star Jenna Persaud really get it on is one if not the steamiest hottest lesbian sex scenes ever filmed is only in the "Unrated" version. Where as the "R" rated version has a running time of 90 minutes,the "Unrated" version is the better deal and has more erotic scenes has a running time of 103 minutes.For the record: When is "The Other Woman" coming to DVD? A lot of fans would love to know. And for fans? Whatever happened to Lee Ann Beaman?

...then one will be alright with it.Actually,having said that,I don't think I EVER deluded myself into thinking this was anything BUT an erotic thriller. I would say this show,if it were being judged for the "Erotic" quality alone,would register as an 8 or 9. Factor in the sparsity of true drama,the laughable action scenes and mind-numbing plot coincidences,and this show drops to a 4 or 5.A lovely,blue-eyed blonde news reporter(LeeAnne Beaman)'s quest to break a story on a shady local businessman is sidetracked by her trying to ferret out her husband's infidelity and sub-sequentially,the lovely dark-skinned beauty(Jenna Persaud,former Penthouse pet and not much of an actress) she suspects is the one he's cheating with. The story is almost comical,but as long as you stay in the vein of the soft-core story,it will slide off you the viewer like water off a duck's back.A decent late-night watch or rent,but nothing more.

This is probably Jag Mundhra's best work on erotica so far and probably in the so called 'erotica' field. All the Zalman King and Shannon Tweed movies being the worst kind.This movie actually had a fairly interesting plot about Lee Anne Beaman in the lead as a journalist trying to uncover something big against the mob and starts discovering information about her husband's lover. What results is a film filled with just the right amount of sex and erotic scenes all played out very artfully for a non-mainstream production. Lee Anne is hot and so is Jenna Persaud, and sex scene in the end with them together is probably the best 'erotica' work yet. A must see if you've been renting those movies that promise much at the local video store but fail to deliver.

Lea-Ann Beaman is excellent as the prudish star caught up in a web of intrigue when she discovers evidence of her husbands infidelity whilst he is on a business trip. She goes to meet his mistress and becomes embroiled herself.A good example of its genre and Ms Beaman's tanlines are to die for!
