The cast did a great smashing job! Although John Savage was the one chosen who went in for the successful career please do not overlook Will MacMillan for his combination of dashing looks, charm and sophistication which was vombined with camp wit and sinister approach that made the film work very well until his Exit to Paris end with Anne Saxon, his film wife who was also underrated as the Phoebe Cates of her time. She went on to model very modern tailored clothes magazine feature then the critics pulled her success down that her nudity was not for children or teenagers but kids gave been exposed then and now to nudity, which is another position to think about. Anne was in sophisticated clothes in the magazine and in most of the movie. The love scenes were just a bit suggestive but the content involved star crossed lovers cheating taboos which resolved then it was a surprise violent ending . The movie really needed a sequel of what happened after their exit to Paris, what happened to the shared mistress played by Meridith Jan Baxter who is faced with tragefy that she and Will faced with a drug deal hone wrong. Yet although once the situation had been taken down back in NY with someone to blame, there may not have been a reason for the Young couple if Anne and Will having to leave but the couple didn't know.... There could have been a sequel chaser like The Tourist or love triangle melodrama that ends well as Vicky Cristina Barcelona. The critics did not understand this trendy cult film. Meridith Jan Baxter became a successful interior designer after playing this sweet but mischief making young lady who sets the stage to lose her true found love. Frank Adonis was convincing in his role as the good and bad guy. The rest of the acting staff was very natural as upscale suburbinites who could be your own family. There was utmost style with the wardrobe, houses and apartments as well as country and city settings. The chase scene was unique as a combo of slow and fast movement which not typical so it holds your interest. The swimming pool cat lady fight was a surprise then the guys also got into it too. Anne showed yoga and barefoot basketball abilities. In the end the couple resolved their love to Exit to Paris then undetected as it would not be possible as to be filmed today as airports do not have secret exits with cameras everywhere. Interesting to see that. It takes us back to a time of certain freedoms and emotions that are politically incorrect but spontaneous. The Film was very stylish and now there is contemplation to exit to Paris as in a recent film where fallen socialites exit to a new place to survive their end years. This film had some minor casual nudity which upset critics then which overshadowed the film's success, and hindered the actors and actresses unfairly. Today audiences have seen nudity in films which may be lessened so to come. In the end, this become a popular cult film.
