Dir: Rick Bieber Starring: Aiden Quinn, Andie McDowell, Ryan Merriman The Film: Ordinarily I would feel a little peculiar writing a review concerning a movie about American football, but glory be, this film is NOT about the sport, it’s about something quite different.

[Bea’s Reviews] Eugenie … Her Journey into Perversion (1970)
“Eugenie … Her Journey into Perversion” (1970) A film maker always takes a huge gamble when it comes to adapting any genre of literature because they are not only sticking their necks out professionally, but they are at the mercy of the fans of the story they are adapting for the big screen.
