THIEF OF HEARTS

 

  

I've already pointed out how I'm not much of a fan of so-called chick flicks, though, as I also stated, there are exceptions, the 1984 flick Thief Of Hearts being one of them. This film stars Steven Bauer (of Scarface fame) as a "professional" burglar who teams up with fellow "pro"-burglar David Caruso (of NYPD Blue and CSI: Miami fame) in one of his earlier film roles. They end up robbing the house of a prominent children's book author (played by John Getz) and his bored wife played by ultra hot Barbara Williams. Steven's character also steals Barbara's character's rather erotic diary and finds himself becoming intrigued, so much so that he meets up with her and she in turn becomes intrigued to the point that they end up having a hot & heavy affair. This flick has one of sexiest “love” scenes I’ve ever seen. But this is not your ordinary lovey-dovey “love” scene as it starts out with Steven teaching Barbara how to shoot a gun and it escalates with him grabbing her breasts from behind and they wind up--where else!--in bed doing the nasty and Barbara ends up showing every blessed thing she’s got, if you know what I mean (and I'm, of course, sure that you do!)! This "romantic" film also has a bit more action in it than your regular so-called chick flick, so it might be a pretty good choice the next time your gal pesters you about watching a "romantic"-type film (Steven Bauer will probably distract her from the rampant nudity . . . probably!). This film also stars actor George Wendt (of Cheers fame) and was also produced by Jerry Bruckheimer who, as film buffs know, normally produces action-type flicks (such as top-grossing films like Beverly Hills Cop and Top Gun), which, of course, may explain why there's a bit more action in it than, say, Pretty Woman. A sidenote: Barbara Williams also had a pretty nice topless scene in a later movie called--if memory serves--Oh, What A Night where she steps out of a lake--topless--while being spied upon by a younger boy. Just thought you'd like to know!
