Marcus De Leon directed this standard erotic thriller for
Roger Corman's Concorde Pictures. Sexy
Julie Carmen stars as Teresa Bozman, wife of Jake (
Guy Boyd), a sadistic bar-owner in East Los Angeles. When a handsome singer named Tony Montero (
Robert Beltran) is hired, his music boosts the club's business and steals Teresa's heart. Together, they plot to kill Jake and live happily ever after, but the usual complications ensue. A mostly Latino cast and authentic locations give this film more credibility than Dan Golden's tiresome redneck remake (also for Concorde),
Saturday Night Special (1994). ~ Robert Firsching, All Movie Guide
