Naked Obsession

One of the great hidden gems of late-night cable. The main actor, William Katt, has come a long way since he was Carrie's date for the prom. A second-generation actor (Bill Williams and Barbara Hale's son), Katt is great in this role, but the movie is stolen by the masterful performance of Rick Dean as the very bizarre "Sam Silver" in this Hitchcockian thriller. If ever there was an example of how big a part luck and studio hype play in film success, this is it. This movie deserves to be well-known, and it should have catapulted Rick Dean into a major role. Watch this movie, and tape it for your friends who have taste.

It's been a few years since I've seen it but Naked Obsession is one of the better "B" movies of all time. It stars William Katt who played TV's "Greatest American Hero". Also, look for a small role by former 49ers running back, Roger Craig. Not many stars here but a pretty good plot.

The movies begins with a city councilman, played by Katt, deciding to explore the darker side of town to research a community development initiative. He eventually ends up at a strip joint and is later framed for a murder. The movie gets very sexy from here which makes it worth checking out.

I liked this passionate fluffy gem that had classic strip scenes that screamed out Oscar. Oscar is my name. As I watched this epic deer frolick through the desert, I asked myself "am I really here? Am I really naked in this closet I call home? Do I want pizza or cereal right now?" those are the questions I pondered. I couldn't come up with answers because I was so captivated by the beauty and radiance of the lead actress. She made me feel like I was Fredrico and that this was my castle. I often found myself sitting on top of my television set naked, perched over the top watching this movie from above. I didn't care that it was 5:19am and that I had to get up at 7:00, this was all to captivating to miss, especially with constant sex and nudity, I couldn't turn off the TV and say "no". It was almost a rule or a law that I finish watching it. I couldn't escape the clutch of pure erotic fruit that so intoxicated me to the point of no return. -**1/2 stars

The honest and uncorrupt councilor Franklyn Carlysle (William Katt) is running the election to mayor supported by his wife Saundra (Wendy MacDonald) and his secretary Becky (Elena Sahagun). When the lobbyist Mitch (Tommy Hinkley) shows the project of recovering a neighborhood of bad reputation, Franklyns foresses the chance to win the election and decides to visit the place. However he is robbed and the stranger Sam Silver (Rick Dean) brings him to a night-club to call his wife. However Franklyn sees the show of the stripper Lynne Hauser (Maria Ford) and finds his car parked in front of the spot. On the next night, Franklyn returns to the night-club with Sam and Lynne asks for a ride home. They have one-night stand and Franklyns learns that Lynne likes to be choked during the intercourse. On the next night, Franklyn decides to meet Lynne to tell that they had only one-night stand and learns that she is dead. Now his life turns upside down when the police Detective Ludlow (Roger Craig) chases him. What will Franklyn do?

"Naked Obsession" is certainly the sexiest film from the 90´s. The hot Maria Ford steals the show with her body and beauty. The story is not bad for a B-movie; the performances are great; but the rushed conclusion is deceptive. Unfortunately this film was only released on VHS. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "Obsessão Nua" ("Naked Obsession")

Pretty wierd film. William Katt's performance makes up for a lot in this thriller about a man who is framed for the murder of a stripper with whom he had sex with. The other performances are stale (especially Wendy MacDonald's) but Maria Ford is a hot one and the sex scenes are pretty graphic (which should amuse some people out there). Altogether, worth watching with a date or with a bunch of your friends and a six pack on a boring Friday night. 5/10
