Nothing special. A mixture of

* Saturday Night Fever (1977, John Travolta, Karen Gorney)
* Class (1983, Rob Lowe, Jacqueline Bisset)

and a PG-version of “Magic Mike” if a kiss is allowed.

The director is no other than John G. Avildsen (”Rocky” with Sylvester Stallone). The original screenplay for "A Night in Heaven" was written by Joan Tewkesbury, who wrote Robert Altman's "Nashville." For both films, her method was the same. She spent a month living in the places she'd be writing about to infuse her basic themes with local color.

Maybe she also attended a show with the “Chippendales” (created in 1979). Or she went to a disco, where the strippers are all men, and the customers are all women. The film is about a sexually frustrated wife (Lesley Ann Warren), her husband (Robert Logan, who was the father in all those "Wilderness Family" movies), and a young student (Christopher Atkins) in the speech class Warren teaches at the local junior college.

A lot of things happen at once. The husband quits his job as an engineer at the Kennedy Space Center because he refuses to work on missiles or other weapons. He becomes too "tired" to sleep with his wife, whose sister takes her to Heaven, a male disco in a shopping center. And, wouldn't you know, the handsome young student is a dancer there, and in a scene of considerable erotic effectiveness, he flirts with her and kisses her.

That sets the stage for them to have an affair. It also sets the stage for a very confusing movie. Early in the film, Tewkesbury introduces several themes and relationships and asks some big questions. The movie does not answer them at all or answers them vaguely.

It begins by talking about love and fidelity, quitting a job for ethical reasons, and, in the words of the song, looking for love in all the wrong places. It ends as a sleazoid sex film, another one of those movies about older women seducing younger men or vice versa.

I was surprised by one scene: Christopher Atkins is in the shower with a girl (ONS? Girlfriend?). And you can see her breasts for a split second. Very interesting for an eighties movie. Lesley Ann Warren is fully clothed in her sex scenes, of course.

After they leave the shower, two strange things happen:

1. Lesley got into their hotel room. Maybe it’s their standard room?
2. The female ONS says, “Don’t you get too old for this?”

Too old for what? Sex? Sex she just had in the shower? Or dating two women at the same time. Is there ever a time when you are too old to have sex with two different women? 60+ perhaps...

I find the end very confusing, too.

Some of the younger women wear no bra in the movie. But that’s it. If you want to see topless men, watch “Magic Mike” instead. If you want to see topless women... “Police Academy Part #1” has more nudity.
