Carnal Crimes
Probably by todays standards, Carnal Crimes might not seem like such a big deal but when I saw it on Cinemax in the ninety-two it was pretty hot stuff. Actually, I can still picture some of the scenes that managed to burn themselves into my memory.
Elise (Linda Carol) is a former model who is married to Stanley, (Rich Crater) an unattractive businessman, who can never seem to find the time for his beautiful blonde wife. In fact, he seems to be indifferent to her needs. This leads our restive housewife to seek adventure outside her home.
After visiting a photo exhibition by a handsome young photographer named Renny, (Martin Hewitt) she become enamored with him. The following day she goes to his studio in a warehouse area, only to find it locked with no one answering the doorbell.
Picture fine looking housewife mini-skirt and high heels decides to climb a fire-escape that had been locked I the down position. As she gets to the second floor she peers into a dirty window and sees Renny snapping pictures of Mia, (Yvette Nelson) a sexy, scantily clad subject in an increasingly suggestive way. All of a sudden, Elise is attacked by a vagrant who had been sleeping one off. (the reason the fire-escape had been locked in place) She manages to fight him off but during the struggle breaks the window and cuts her hand. Rennys attention is drawn to the noise from the cracking window, lets Elise in and attends to her cut for a short time before beginning to snap her picture as well getting more and more friendly as he goes.
The next scene is the one that is burned in my mind. The camera moves to a ceiling shot showing Renny, on his knees, screwing the now naked Elise on her back, while Mia, kisses, caresses and fondles them both.
If my memory serves me there are two or three other good sex scenes involving Elise, including one in a bakery.

Conclusion
Since this was obviously an erotic movie, I havent touched much on the underlying plot, which is weak. Apparently Stanley is something of a pervert and his wifes affair with Renny was set up by Stanley, pictures of which were given to him. I found this to be a stretch, wondering how Stanley would know whether Elise would go for Renny. Still with its faults, I still found Canal Crimes to be a compelling movie. Final rating 3.65 stars.
