THE FIRST NINE AND A HALF WEEKS (1999)

Cast

Plot

Absolutely bugger-all to do with the comparative masterpiece "Nine and a half Weeks", this is an "erotic thriller" starring Paul Mercurio (Strictly Ballroom) as a young executive who goes to New Orleans to close a deal with a billionaire (Malcolm McDowell) but ends up shagging his wife. All set against a pulsating Mardi Gras background. Funny that on almost every occasion that the term "erotic thriller" is applied to a movie the two words cancel each other out.
