About Frankie and Johnnie... Were Lovers
American folklore goes nutty and smutty with Frankie and Johnnie... Were Lovers, and, "Oh Lordy, how they could love!" Especially since Frankie is played by everyone's favorite pouty-cheeked sex starlet, RENE BOND, and Johnnie is her frequent co-star and then-paramour, RIC LUTZE. As the trailer proclaims, "Lovers in real life, they give the performances of their careers!"
Directed by Alan Colberg, Frankie and Johnnie... Were Lovers leans on a strong ensemble — Rene Bond, Ric Lutze, Cyndee Summers — 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 drama titles of 1973.
