Diane Lane in Lady Beware (1987). She was 21 when this film was lensed. The quality of the linked clip is mediocre at best, but I have never seen a better one. For reasons unknown to me, there doesn’t seem to be a good quality version of this film available on consumer video.

I guess it’s a crap movie, although I haven’t seen it. It was filmed in Pittsburgh and Lane’s co-stars are a whole bunch of people you never heard of. And the plot sounds awful, “A Pittsburgh window dresser gets tough with a deranged lab technician who bugs her.” The reviewer for the not-yet-failing New York Times said, “Karen Arthur, the director, seems to have given up trying to understand what is going on, for which you can’t blame her.”

But gimme a break – crap, schmap! It’s Diane Lane topless at 21 in good light! (Sample below). The pre-failing New York Times, in dissing the film, also gave the best reason to watch it: “Much of this movie is devoted to stalking Miss Lane. He talks dirty to her on the telephone, breaks into her mailbox, peeps at her taking a bath (a sight worth the peeping, not only for Miss Lane’s endowments but also because she bathes by candlelight and sips champagne between scrubs) and at her lovemaking, and commits other nuisances.”

No! Not the dreaded “other nuisances”!

As Eddie Murphy said, “Money don’t crack.”

The aforementioned simoleons may be used in two key areas:

1) spend hundreds of thousands on various youth-restoring treatments

and/or

2) spend another twenty bucks a month on Photoshop
