The secret lives of a husband and wife. He’s a fiftysomething film director who hooks up with their sexy babysitter (dreamy-eyed brunette Susan Romen) for a weekend to learn more about youth culture for a movie he’s making. Meanwhile, his wife is secretly a junkie who’s coerced by her dealer into doing him a dangerous favor. While hubby’s smoking his first joint, wifey’s being tortured with heroin withdrawl. While he’s racing motorcycles with kids more than half his age, she’s on a depressing boat ride on the way to a drug buy. While he’s blissfully dipping his wick in the babysitter, she’s getting felt up by her creepy, combover-sporting dealer.
This is an entertaining almost-remake of a 1969 obscurity called The Babysitter, also directed by Tom “Billy Jack” Laughlin under the pseudonym Don Henderson, also starring George E. Carey, and also featuring a babysitter named Candy. In the earlier movie, Candy is a callous and aggressive good-time girl; here, she’s a more sensitive soul. Regardless, wrinkly old George E. Carey rolls around naked with both.
