Writer-director Randal Kleiser's Summer Lovers is much better than a nudity-heavy American ménage à trois romance from 1982 has any right to be. Rather than being a slice of randy, raunchy exploitation, the flick is by turns charming, thoughtful, and, yeah, romantic. Peter Gallagher and Daryl Hannah are Michael and Cathy, two clean-cut American kids spending their summer on the Greek island of Santorini. Like the hordes of young international tourists we see overrunning this island, Michael and Cathy are looking for a good time. Cathy wants to break away from the perception that she is a "goody two-shoes," so she reads books about imaginative sex, ties Michael up, and drips candle wax on him. Michael wants to break out sexually as well, but he doesn't find his outlet in a book. Instead, he becomes mildly obsessed with an exotically uninhibited French woman (Valerie Quennessen) holed up in a villa across the way. After not-so-subtly stalking her, Michael convinces the woman to spend the afternoon with him and they go to a nude beach, where Michael starts to loosen up a little bit more. Of course, Michael ends up sleeping with this quietly intelligent beauty; he fumbles a compliment afterward by saying that having sex with her is like riding a horse -- she's so responsive! -- but she doesn't make him leave. To Michael's very slight credit, he doesn't try to hide anything when Cathy suspects what has happened. Cathy then tries to even the scales by letting herself get picked up by a random Greek boy, but it turns out she is a little bit too much of a straight-arrow to seal the deal. Writer-director Kleiser (who also directed Grease and The Blue Lagoon ) frequently highlights clever details in his scenes, and this would-be seduction scene is memorable for the fact that the Greek boy puts on an appropriately sexy Prince record, but then has to keep hitting the record player because it runs below speed. An uncomfortable Cathy uses his divided attention as an excuse to run away. Eventually, Cathy confronts the French woman, but finds she doesn't have an enemy. The woman, an archaeologist named Lina, doesn't want to steal Michael away -- escaping the hang-ups of relationships is part of Lina's reason for taking work in this semi-isolated spot. With Cathy and Lina as friends, the film gently but steadily nudges our heroes to their inevitable three-way love match. Though it isn't without some heat, the film is pretty chaste when it comes to the actual mechanics of their togetherness. The situation also never devolves into an omnisexual free-for-all, meaning that the ladies just trade Michael back and forth between them, which leads to a funny moment where Michael will not wake up from a nap and Cathy and Lina winkingly agree that he must have "gotten too much sun." Summer Lovers never approaches the emotional heft of something like Jules and Jim -- there are too many having-fun montages set to '80s pop hits in place of further character development -- but the filmmakers care enough for Cathy, Lina, and Michael that it's easy to get swept up in their shared struggle to figure out exactly how they are going to find their ways in the world. Late in the film, the characters realize that this partnership means more to all three of them than a summer fling; it's the unique human connection they didn't realize they had been missing. That realization comes across as quite touching and, setting aside knee-jerk cynicism, it's hard not to wish all three of them the best. The Blu-ray Summer Lovers comes in a limited edition of 3000 copies, and is packaged with a color booklet featuring an essay by Twilight Time's Julie Kirgo. The Video: Considering that the old MGM DVD was pan-and-scan, it's gratifying to see this film get an attractive AVC-encoded 1080p 1.85:1 transfer that is fairly crisp and clean but thankfully does not scrub away the film grain. Cinematographers Dimitris Papakonstadis and Timothy Galfas give the film a natural look, often using available light, that is appealing. Colors are strong and nicely saturated. The Audio: The soundtrack is heavy with early '80s hits from acts as varied as Elton John, Prince, Depeche Mode, pre-"Maniac" Michael Sembello, Lime (in a lovely lip-sync scene), Tina Turner, The Pointer Sisters, and Chicago. The disc's DTS-HD MA 2.0 stereo audio track provides the proper full-response danceclub oomph for most of these tunes, as well as cleanly presenting the dialogue and ambience. One subtitle option: English SDH . Audio commentary with writer-director Randal Kleiser - A new recording with Kleiser, who sounds like he is reading from prepared notes, but nonetheless offers nonstop insights into the making of the film, punctuated by noteworthy blurbs from critics and internet commenters that Kleiser has particularly enjoyed over the years. Isolated Music and Effects track - This dialogue-free audio track offers the perfect opportunity to re-dub the movie and make it about a fella who goes to Greece to meet his girlfriend, but can't get this random blonde from his plane trip to leave him alone. The Making of Summer Lovers (12:14) - A vintage EPK that has some entertaining soundbites from the cast and director Randal Kleiser, plus some good on-set B-roll. Basil Poledouris: His Life and Music (48:13) - An interesting 1997 documentary (co-produced by TT's Nick Redman) built around an interview with the late film composer, discussing his personal life and career. There's far more focus on movies like the then-contemporaneous Starship Troopers and Conan the Barbarian than there is on Summer Lovers (which is to say there is none), but considering Poledouris's contribution to modern Hollywood film scores (especially action movies), it's cool to have this documentary bundled in anyway. Screen Tests (15:10) - A collection of video-shot screen tests with a few different actors testing for the role that Peter Gallagher got, acting against Valerie Quennessen. The most notable is Patrick Swayze, who plays the role with a greater vulnerability than what Gallagher ended up doing. Trailers - green-band and red-band theatrical trailers, plus the MGM 90th Anniversary trailer. Final Thoughts: Summer Lovers is a fun romp with both beautiful locales and beautiful bodies on constant display. Writer-director Randal Kleiser even bothered to include a fairly fleshed-out (ha ha) story as well. The new Blu-ray offers a significant upgrade over the old "fullscreen" DVD, both in the A/V and bonuses department. Recommended .

BOSSA NOVA HOTEL (1983) Credits: Drums: Carlos Vega, Vinnie Colaiuta Bass: Nathan Watts /Keyboards: Danny Sembello, Chris Page, Don Freeman, George Johnsen, Dennis Matkosky, George Duke, Banjo: Larry McNeely/ Percussion: Paulinho Da Costa /Horns: Jerry Hey, Gary Herbig, Gary Grant, William Reichenbach Cello: Dennis Karmazyn /Strings Arrangement: Oscar Castro Neves /Duet Vocal on "Talk": Cruz Baca Sembello/ Background Vocals: Danny Sembello, John Sembello, Cruz Baca Sembello, Lez Miller. Producer: Phil Ramone Tracklist: 01 Automatic Man 02 First Time 03 Cowboy 04 Maniac 05 Godzilla 06 Talk 07 Cadillac 08 Lay Back 09 Superman. "Well, here we have another to be poured into the "west coast", or Californian sound genre (today's critics and marketers would probably call it AOR, Adult Oriented Rock). Michael Sembello is primarily known for his mega hit "Maniac", from the film. And indeed it proved to be a powerful tune. I remember even buying the 12 inch mega version of the song. A very tonic and enthusiastic track that you can still hear today. "Maniac" is included in this cd, so for people who want the song, this is a justifiable purchase. But, what else is there on this collection ? In my opinion, a bunch of fun, unpretentious songs (just look a the backsleeve cover, Michael Sembello in shorts, without shoes, two suitcases and a Panama hat setting the mood) from the early eighties. Simple, to the point music; most of the tracks are one word titled. Lots of keyboards, powerful drumming, good bass and some electric guitarwork (not from Steve Lukather though). My favourites are Automatic Man, Cowboy, It's over and Talk for the ballad side. But I can listen to the whole thing with pleasure because, even if some tracks may sound silly, this is just an unpretentious album, as I said before. Carlitos Vega plays on most of the songs, as well as Paulinho da Costa, and SIR George Duke makes a stellar appearance on one track, so if you like these people and are a collector you'll want this album. All in all, a very pleasant cd if you like David Pack (Anywhere you go) or Bobby Caldwell (Cat in the Hat, Carry on) or even Toto. If you push a little bit, some of Gino Vannelli's stuff gets close to this too. It's the same sound, same type of instruments and same type of production (the man here in charge is Phil Ramone). A real pity that the rest of Michael's career wasn't quite as inspired and prolific. I think he has a very distinctive and personal voice, he just should have been more present and regular. You can occasionally find the album "Without Walls" (at an outrageous price though) or a more recent one called "Ancient future" (with a beautiful slow version of "Maniac"). If you like Sembello, you can listen to "As we speak" from David Sanborn, in which he participated. Bossanova hotel is a five star in context, but gets down to 4 because of its outdated side for today's listeners who will find it corny, and because it is only 40 minutes long (or short). But if you get it and like the people I mentioned, you will definitely enjoy it!" "Not that bad, not that good. But if you love a good cheese-fest like I do, then go haggle with someone at the next garage sale for this one. I wonder, though, what in God's good name is happening on the cover."

And out of these 13 songs,there are 3 unreleased tracks that sure makes it worth the prize if you think collections are dull,"Love doesn?t live here anymore"(also included on the ?Rock The Bones? compilation sampler from Frontiers)is a great westcoast/AOR track that will satisfy you to 100% if you?re into this type of music and the 2 others "One planet,one people" and "Voodoo" are quite good too.Of the rest we find 3 from "Without walls"(86)and those are the classic ones "What you really want","Tear down the walls"(featuring Jeff Paris on guest vocals) and "Burn it up",from the album "Caravan of dreams"(92) we find 4 tracks in "Winter of our love","Black rain"(magic song),"Heavy weather" and "Where are we now".Taken from "Backwards in time" (97) are "Rub the stone" and Sembello?s own Jeff Paris hit "The Life of my broken heart",do I need to say more. classic AOR stuff on one CD for the first time with this artist,good job Frontiers that releases it on July 7th." ". Now, Michael Sembello has returned to his roots on the East Coast where it all began. "The Lost Years" is a chronological look through the years of Michael Sembello. Many of those songs come from different times and are designed to be a special gift to the fans which are now able to gain in one collection a lot of rare tracks and unreleased tracks with an obvious emphasis on his rock roots. It also includes a magnificent rework of "Maniac" in a new and original version, plus his own version of the Jeff Paris hit "The Life Of My Broken Heart". Jeff himself appears on the album in a duet on "Tear Down The Walls", while Jennifer Batten (Jeff Beck, Michael Jackson) is guest guitarist on: "Love Doesn't Live Here Anymore" and "Tear Down the Walls". Michael Sembello's original desires and objectives are still intact: "Music teaches you about your own life and how it relates to life, the universe and everything. Good music is designed to harmonize mind and body. The trappings of fortune and fame are not the objectives, but merely the by-products along the way. I believe we are on this planet to learn and grow as souls", and proclaiming in his cosmic, confident manner: "that's why I'm here, that's why I came. "." Biography: Michael Sembello (born 17 April 1954 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) is an Oscar nominated American musician.He began his career as a professional musician by becoming a studio guitarist. The list of pop music personalities he worked with, or wrote for, includes Stevie Wonder, The Temptations, Michael Jackson, Diana Ross, Chaka Khan, George Benson, Barbra Streisand, Stanley Clarke and Donna Summer.He released his first solo album in 1983, and the song "Maniac" was selected for inclusion in the movie Flashdance. This song went on to become the third highest grossing song from a soundtrack. His contribution to that soundtrack was rewarded with a Grammy Award in 1983 for Best Album of Original Score Written for a Motion Picture or a Television Special.Sembello has done considerable soundtrack work, including such movies as Cocoon, Gremlins, The Monster Squad and Independence Day.His later career has been focused on Eastern music and spirituality. Sembello has recorded his vocals in six languages. He is continually releasing albums, and is planning to return to the Eastern U.S. to continue his recording career.( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Sembello ) Born on the east coast of the United States Michael always had a passion for the Far-East Zen culture, soon incorporating it into his creating of guitar chords. In the early 70s Sembello, a very talented guitar player, composer and singer, became a part of the Stevie Wonder backing band, subsequently more and more shifting into a well-booked session guitarist for the likes of Sérgio Mendes, Jackson 5, Stephen Bishop, Randy Crawford, and David Sanborn, among others. His first own solo record, the 1983 released Bossa Nova Hotel quickly became a million seller due to the single hit contained on it. The disco buster "Maniac" had quickly made it into the dance charts and quickly became popular as a track of the six-time platinum Flashdance soundtrack album. Three years later Without Walls hit the market but failed. It took six more years until his 'comeback album' was published in Japan only, Caravan of Dreams (1992). On that release musicians like Jennifer Batten, Richard Elliot and Chris Papastephanou appear. Other than recording and working on his own solo projects Michael also managed to produce and collaborate with acts like Chaka Khan, George Benson, Gerardo, New Edition, The Temptations, and Donna Summer, also contributing his talents for film soundtracks like Steven Spielberg's Gremlins, Summer Lovers, Rocky IV, etc. In the late 90s Michael Sembello found an additional outlet for his more jazzy songs with the all-star ensemble The Bridge which released its self-titled debut in early 1998. This line up contained many acclaimed and talented musicians such as Vinnie Colaiuta (drums), Daniel Jobim (vocals), Paulinho Da Costa (percussion), Nathan Watts (bass), David Batteau (backing vocals) and many others. Interestingly, many of these The Bridge members also appeared on Michael's 1997 album Backwards in Time. Since 2002 two more albums under the name Ancient Future (The Lost Years, Part 1) hit the market, which contain strong songs such as "Heavy Weather" or "One Planet, One People", and again proved Michael's skills as a gifted composer. MICHAEL SEMBELLO - Without Walls [Japan Version] (1986) Michael Sembello released his debut album in 1983, and the song 'Maniac', included in the movie Flashdance, won the following year's Grammy in its category and become the third highest grossing song from a soundtrack. Because of this fulminant success, Michael has spent much of his career writing and performing music to soundtracks for movies and TV shows, his solo discography is pretty short indeed. His second solo "Without Walls" is a classic mainstream product of its time: commercial but elaborated Pop-Rock AOR with some Westcoast throw in. "What You Really Want" opens the disc with catchy temperament, featuring a very good guitar riff and solo. This track is a Lite AOR gem. "Last To Know" is one of those pop tracks that have the necessary essence to stand the test of time. Solid songwriting in the best canadian style. "Funkabilly Swing" is obviously a funk-pop song, not my favorite style, but the rhythm guitars are just amazing. The magic returns with the AORish "Is This the Way To Paradise", where Michael sings (especially the chorus) fiercely, and the guitar / keyboard tandem enrich the tune. "Burn It Up" is another highlight. A pure '80s track with an action-movie style. "Angelina" and particularly "Wonder Where You Are" are smooth Westcoast numbers, while "Dangerous" and "Gravity" are commercial, almost danceable tracks (the latter included into the 'Cocoon' soundtrack). "Tear Down The Walls" is a marching, anthemic pop-rocker. This song was later recorded by argentine musician Miguel Mateos (produced by Sembello) and become a latin hit. "The Picture" is another enormous eighties winner song, with excellent guitar work (Jennifer Batten plays here uncredited), processed drums and glossy production. "Without Walls" is a terrific album in this style, with great songs, musicians and production. "Angelina" and "The Picture" are only included in this now hard to find japanese CD version. There's a reissue out there plus 3 versions of 'Maniac', but it isn't official. As said; hard to find version , at maximum quality + artwork. 01 - What You Really Want 02 - Last To Know 03 - Funkabilly Swing 04 - Is This The Way To Paradise 05 - Burn It Up 06 - Angelina [bonus track] 07 - Tear Down The Walls 08 - Gravity (Special Dance Mix) 09 - Wonder Where You Are 10 - Dangerous 11 - The Picture [bonus track] Lead Vocals, Guitar, Keyboards: Michael Sembello Vocals on 'Wonder Where You Are': Tata Vega Guitars: Steve Rippley, Bud Rizzo, Jennifer Batten Keyboards: Randy Waldman Bass: Richard Rudolph Bass, Keyboards: Danny Sembello Drums: Vinnie Colaiuta , Carlos Vega Percussion: Ron Powell Synthesizers: Dennis Matkosky, Steve Porcaro Saxophone: David Boruff Horns: Herb Alpert Harmonica, Backing Vocals: Stevie Wonder Backing Vocals: Bobby Caldwell , Cruz Sembello, Danny Sembello.

I just did a web search and it's being sold used at U$S 210 (!). This baby needs a reissue pronto. Michael Sembello released his debut album in 1983 and the song 'Maniac', included in the movie Flashdance, won the following year's Grammy in its category and become the third highest grossing song from a soundtrack. Due to this fulminant success Michael has spent much of his career writing and performing music for movies and TV shows, so his solo discography is quite narrowed.
