Josie
Bissett plays Jessica Hamilton, a young woman who goes to Venice Italy
(from the United States) for a piano competition. However, plane trouble
delays her travels and she arrives in the middle of personal trouble.
Her hotel reservations have been canceled and the annual Carnival has
put a stranglehold on all vacancies. Jessica, then, finds that her tardiness
has taken her out of the competition. She befriends a professor who invites
her into his home and soon into his bed. She doesn't realize that this
teacher harbors a deep, dark secret and is using her in a twisted revenge
plot. A chance meeting with a charismatic gondolier forces Jessica to
question her involvement with the professor. She finds herself in a sex
triangle that endangers both of them.
Josie
Bissett started her career with Umberto Lenzi's thriller HITCHER
IN THE DARK. She followed that auspicious debut with this controversial
erotic drama for Bruno Mattei before venturing to Hollywood for the lead
role in the hit TV series "Melrose Place." Of
course, Italian filmmaker Bruno Mattei (often using his tongue-in-cheek
pseudonym Vincent Dawn) is best known for his zombie movies HELL
OF THE LIVING DEAD and ISLAND
OF THE LIVING DEAD, but he often dabbled in other Euro exploitation
fare, like JAIL:
WOMEN'S HELL. Interestingly, with regards DESIDERI
(also known as DIRTY LOVE 2), he remade this story a decade later as VENETIAN
CAPRICE.
