In Restless Desire, writer/director Cash Markman has done a fine job of creating a sexual drama which, without the hardcore, could easily be made into a ready-for-cable movie. All the stock characters are there: the hard-working oilman (Horner); his cloying wife (Malle); the greedy brother (Decker); the dying father (Bukkwyd); and the drifter (Fairlane) who stirs everything up. Expect to see way-better-than-average non-sex acting here, particularly from Bukkwyd.

Watching Malle push down Horner's butt as he mishes Randi Storm in the opener is nice, as is the Hurt/Fairlane mish on a booth table in his diner. But this feature really start to take off with the Fairlane/Dane girl/girler by the pool. Beautiful, hot 69 action is accompanied by soft piano strains, adding up to a superb, highly artistic scene. And the finale, which has Horner dripping and rubbing thick, brown oil all over Dane's bod as he licks her pussy, then plunges it frontwards and back, is spellbinding.

Fairlane on the box should move a few copies by herself, so stock up!
