Story:

The elegant Lauren Slaughter, Doctor in Political Sciences, arrives in London to work for a scientific institution. For the American woman everything is a dissapointment: a tiny apartment, a meager pay check and a boss who´s getting the credit of her work.

At a certain moment Lauren receives a videotape which shows that she can earn quite some money as an escort girl. Lauren jumps at the offer and becomes very successfull: soon she becomes the escort of highly placed people. From one of these men Lauren gets an apartment in Half Moon Street in loan.

Then Lauren meets Lord Bulbeck and their relationship grows from purely businesslike to a stormy affair. Beside of the numerous quarrels something else becomes a menace: Arabian terrorists want to eliminate Lord Bulbeck through Lauren...

Birgitte S.C.´s opinion:

Despite the promising story you´ve just read, this movie is in one word: BAD.And I don´t label a movie as ´bad´ very easily. Most people who have seen the movie wonder what it was all about. I think they found the desciption above very helpful, because when you watch the movie you soon lose track of the storyline. It seems that this movie has only been made to exploit Sigourney Weaver´s naked body and not much else. That´s really a shame, because the movie could have been a whole lot better.
