Review

One of the earliest and best handled Hollywood dramas on lesbianism. The story follows the relationship of two women athletes who become friends and then lovers during tryouts for the Olympics. Mariel Hemingway is tenderly affecting as the younger, unexperienced woman who finds that her love for this woman is fleeting (on her way to a heterosexual life). Patrice Donnelly is especially memorable as the lesbian who falls in love with her.

Buff!

What a lovely film! Not only is it cute, in a college sophmore kind of way, but we get to see Mariel Hemingway pre- Star! so no implants. Patrice Donnelly defined the lesbian haircut of the early 80's and did so beautifully. Lovely cinematography; believable interaction between the women. A great addition to one's classic lesbian video collection!
