Masquerade (1988)
Country: US
Technical: col 91m
Director: Bob Swaim
Cast: Rob Lowe, Meg Tilly, Kim Cattrall
Synopsis:
An orphaned heiress dates a yacht racing playboy to get away from her devious stepfather, but the boyfriend may not be much better.
Review:
The title refers to the yacht, whose movement is admirably complemented by a typically serene and gently rocking John Barry score; it also, naturally, alludes to the 'people ain't quite what they seem' plot, which owes a lot to Suspicion. The twists and turns are so far-fetched and abrupt that slickness is achieved at the expense of logic, and Bob Swaim rapidly ran out of credibility as a helmer of crime thrillers.
