This erotic film is a modern take on the Aladdin's Lamp fairy tale. An antiques dealer, Jon Dough, finds an old lamp and while polishing it, out pops the genie, played by the lovely Heather Hart. His wish is to find his Miss Right and, no surprise here, he gets to have sex with beautiful women in this quest. Heather is more than a genie granting wishes and at the end we see that she also has her own agenda.
Directed by Michael Craig, Wishful Thinking leans on a strong ensemble — Heather Hart, Jon Dough, Scott Irish — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about fantasy titles of 1992.
