Letters of Love

An eager to please journalist (Bridgette Monet) takes over a steamy advice to the lovelorn column with explosively erotic results. As “Dear Candy,” Bridgette starts to visualize the amorous escapades, much to her excitement-and ours too! First up, a horny teenager’s risky business with an eager call girl turns the boy into a man pronto! Then we see the story of a taboo-laden mother-son relationship, a titillating tale of teenage party habits, the adventures of a lonesome cowpoke who knows how to use his ramrod to its best advantage and finally, a marriage is saved when a frustrated husband discovers a little discipline goes a long way with his wife. Even Bridgette gets into the act when her column becomes a tremendous success. Using her head, the clever girl manages to get a raise from her boss in more ways than one!

Directed by Paul Vatelli, Letters of Love leans on a strong ensemble — Bridgette Monet, Cyndee Summers, Debbie Northrup — 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 screen titles of 1985.
