The Masseuse (1990)


Sad and uneven film from the last hurrah of the adult film industry. Randy Spears plays a shy librarian who falls in love with a woman(Hypatia Lee) working at a massage parlor. This sort of story has been done countless times, but the director wanted to go a more serious route and create something memorable.
Unfortunately it doesn't really work since it's hard to believe superstud Spears would have the least bit of trouble getting some action (he plays a virgin in this movie). And Hypatia Lee just can't give it the needed performance.
A good script with plenty of surprises and an ending which leaves the viewer with a sense of hope.
