Cecil Howard, like director Chuck Vincent, made many superb adult films in the 80's that were set in New York.
An uninhibited carnal carnival taking place on New Year's Eve, it is expertly photographed and staged, acted with great professionalism, and ravishingly designed.
Not heavy on plot, it throws a deep focus onto the lives of its complex, fascinating characters.
The mighty have fallen far since the period films like FOXTROT were produced. Only a handful of directors -- John Stagliano, Brad Armstrong, Rocco Siffredi -- are still making erotic as opposed to grotesque pornography (which, of course, has its own unique merits).
Howard's films, even in the 80's, were enigmas.
