    more than nice

    The fine eroticism. The tension. The atmosphere. And, sure, Steve Furst. Basic pillars of this interesting short film about a runing man, an unconventional refuge, a lady in red dress and an invitation. Obvious references to refined films and books about same problem. But, more important, lovely mix of tension and humor.

    Great use of imagination and food

    Sara Stewart and Steve Furst make excellent use of a restaurant table and a conveniently long table cloth.

    Very nicely done, with gentle story escalation.

    You sense that "the Ice Maiden" will melt as the hidden man (literally) unzips her.

    Perfectly written, set and acted, this quarter-hour short brings excitement and entertainment.

    Of course. The Lady wants more!

    I remembered this 2007 short after recognising Steve Furst (under-table man) on UK television in 2025 in a sympathetic character losing his baked beans in flight...
