Intimate Agony (1983 TV Movie)
"You Just May Be The Nicest Thing That's Happened To Me In A Long Time!"...
24 June 2021
INTIMATE AGONY stars Anthony Geary as Dr. Kyle Richards, who fills in for a vacationing doctor (Arthur Hill) on Paradise Isle. What, at first, appears to be an easy gig, turns dire, when Richards finds himself up against a herpes epidemic among the randy, overprivileged denizens of the island.

This occurs while Richards is attempting to start up a relationship with lovely Marsha (Judith Light), who seems a bit coy. Could she be infected as well?

Meanwhile, tennis pro, and all-around anal cavity, Tommy (Mark Harmon, hiding behind a hedge-sized mustache) does his best to help spread the disease, and another genius decides not to tell his pregnant wife about his condition!

Also, a local gazillionaire (Robert Vaughn) must deal with his daughter's STD shame. The pressure mounts for Richards to drop his crusade. Can he stop the madness before the whole island is crawling with the bug?

Part soap opera, and part public service announcement, this movie goes into detail about the symptoms and effects of genital herpes. It's probably not the best date movie!

EXTRA POINTS FOR: Geary's astonishing mane whipping about whenever he's outdoors...
