'Bolero' leaves mui
By Robert O'Connor
Move over Pia Zadora - Bo's back.

tion of being the worst film release of 1984. ;
Not even "The Lonely Lady" or "Angel" <
can hold their monstrous candles to the
ridiculous flame of "Bolero."
MISSING FROM the screen since 1981's
"Tarzan, The Ape Man," Bo Derek and her
husband John have gone beyond feasible i
entertainment and good taste. i
Produced by Bo, and written, directed and
photographed by her husband, "Bolero" is I
4 pure trash at best.
In the laughable title role, Bo proves once
again that her acting abilities are akin to an |
inanimate object. Ayre, her character, has I
just completed finishing school in 1920s i
England and wants to erase the word
"virgin" from her resume.
The audience is then harshly exposed to
Ayre's search for sex. I

I are her chauffeur Cotton (George Kennedy)
| and her Spanish schoolmate Catalina (Ana
Obregon). These extremely uninteresting ?
characters force Bo to control the spotlight, <
which is a serious mistake.
i
Ayre's search leads her to Spain and into >
the arms of a bullfighter, played by Andrea |
Occhipinti. Things seem to flow easily for
Ayrc until a bull puts an end to her lover's j
sexual capabilities. (

Will Bo overcome a celibate romance? Or
will she use her feminine wiles to solve the
problem? Only the truly desperate film
viewer will be curious.

wuuuermg wneii do win imruoe anu or
achieve her wish are not exciting enough
questions to salvage this particularly hideous
film adventure.
PAST TREASURES such as 4410" and
14Tarzan" have made it quite clear that the
Derek couple lacks talent. And what is lacking
in talent is made up for with constant
nudity and self-admiration on Bo's part.
44Bolero" is without a rating after almost
being placed in the tabooed X-rated area.
The acting in this film is nauseating at

possess no stage presence. The creators of
this film obviously feel that pornography
makes for a quality film.
THOUGH STAGED in the 1920s,
"Bolero" gives only vague reference to this
fact. In pants and sporting an unmistakable
Farrah hair style; Bo seems much too
modern in fashion and desires.
Also confusing is locale. Much of
"Bolero" takes place in Spain, but scenes
md accents change as rapidly as Bo's
:lothing.
Also unintentionally hilarious is the sweepng
musical score from Elmer Bernstein,
vhich seems better suited for a Walt Disney
amily drama.
"Bolero," in all of its hilarious glory and
rseudo-quality, will disgust anyone who
iares to see it.
