One reviewer indicated that this DVD is NOT the original - that a scene had either been edited or cut. This is not the case. The original moview, released in 1983 and ran 83 minutes. The VHS was released in 1985 and ran 83 minutes and the DVD (at least the copy shown) was released in 2005 and, once again, runs 83 minutes. If the reviewer was indicating that a "pan and scan" editing was done rather than widescreen it would make no difference to the content of the movie. But, having seen the movie when released to the theatre, having owned the VHS for many years and now owning the DVD I cannot see there there have been any edits or deletions from the original release - of course I saw the original a long long time ago and could be mistaken. That said the movie is pretty hokey by today's standards so one must remember that it is now nearly 30 years old - and some stories do NOT age well. However, it is an enjoyable enough way to spend 83 minutes and if you were a fan of Christopher Atkins (who was very attractive and very naked in the movie) then you will probably like the movie. You can also view the entire movie one line (just do a search) and see if it is something that you'd like to own.Read full review
Have to chime in because I have to laugh at the ridiculous prices scalpers are trying to get for this flick. This is not the old days of Blockbuster Video when VHS tapes cost $80 people. As I recall this was not even a theatrical release, I seem to remember it as a made for TV movie. If the crazy prices are because this Atkins kid takes off his shirt a few times, you've got to be kidding. The real reason to get this movie is the luscious and seductive Lesley Ann Warren. What a gorgeous woman, one of my all time favorites. I have this "safe" version of the movie, but the version to look for that I treasure and have is the uncut unedited "hard R" version which shows a lot more of Ms Warren's gorgeous, lovely "heavenly" body. How I would love to find Lesley's lost slipper and slip it on the lovely foot of this Cinderella Princess...(see what I did there?) ;)Read full review

This movie is not the original movie once shown at the theaters back in the 1980's. The original movie was obviously edited for the 2005 remake (And I call it a remake because of the scene that was replaced) of this dvd. The main theme of the movie was left intact. If you like the original movie, this is not the dvd to buy. I wonder if there even is a copy of the original movie on dvd? If there is and you are selling it, post somewhere in your description or title that it is the original, and I will be the first one to buy it from you.
was not what I expected
