Forbidden Highway

This is one of those films that can't quite make up its mind what it wants to be: soft porn with extended gratuitous full frontal nudity and explicit but not obscene sex scenes, and a lesbian scene thrown in for good measure; thriller about a foolish gambler who rips off his boss, is given a chance to redeem himself only to flunk it badly; comedy...there is some comedy in there, or at least the scriptwriters appear to think so.

The plot, such as it is, could have amounted to something, but it is ridiculous. Okay, some films are ridiculous, heck, life is ridiculous at times, but there is too much ridiculous here. In the final scene, the hero gets the girl, and one of the bad guys gets his just deserts, but let's not forget they are both crooks. If the film has one saving grace it is a fairly decent soundtrack by an artist called Junior Lightning Boy, who does not appear to exist.
