With Marki Bey being the first ever actress to make me think "Wow!,this woman is hot!" from the first moment that she appears in the sadly over looked Zombie Soul film Sugar Hill,I was thrilled to recently get hold of another movie that Bey had co-starred in,which led to me excitingly getting ready to see this very special "Bey City Roller" light up the screen again.
The plot:
Talking to a new student called Gabriella who has recently arrived at their college,friends Carla,Maggie and Heather are surprised to find out that Gabriella has a much more reserved attitude to her life,then any of them do.
Keen to try and make their new friend at last let her hair down,the gang arrange Gabriella to go with them to a beach,where she will be able to have some very eye-opening photos taken by a photography.As they head to the beach with Gabriella,Carla,Maggie and Heather begin to tell their new friend about the events that led to each of them having a very liberal attitude towards life.
View on the film:
Kicking the movie off right from the start,by dancing over the opening credits in a very alluring white bikini,Marki Bey, (who does not appear naked in the film boo!) gives a sparkling performance that sets the film alight when ever she is on screen,due to Bey showing that along with her very good looks she is also able to give Carla a real sassy side and also a sharp,to the point "liberal" side.
Joining Bey,the other beautiful actress's each give the movie a real Power Pop atmosphere,with Sondra Currie (sister of The Runaway's singer Cherrie)giving Maggie a real sensual edge,whilst Barbara Mills shows Gabriella's innocence to transform into a raw,anything goes attitude.
Initially making the film look like it is going to offer an explosive pop bubble,the screenplay by Johnny Legend and Jack Mattis surprisingly decides to go into a good amount of detail about the friends views on their liberal out look,which despite offering some very refreshing takes on some at the time controversial issues, (such as the fact that one of the main male characters being gay,being shown in an positive light)does sadly lead to the movie feeling much slower pace than it should have been.
Moving away from the sun,sea and girls that the movie has at the beginning,directors Mack Bing and Arthur Marks give the film a stylised,Prog Rock inspired appearance,with Bing and Marks using pastel greens and blues to show Gabriella allowing nature to take its cause in her life,which leads to this class visit being one that is fun,but not as joyous as it so easily could have been.
