Thierry Martin is a failed poet struggling to make a success out of the business he inherited from his father. His wife, Zandalee, runs a clothes shop and is left sexually unfulfilled because of her husband's mounting frustrations. Enter Johnny Collins, an old friend of Thierry's and an impoverished painter. Thierry hires Johnny to do some odd jobs, but soon Johnny and Zandalee get busy eying each other. They become entangled in a torrid affair, and as the relationship intensifies, Thierry finds out what's going on behind his back. He decides not to confront Johnny and instead takes his wife down to the Louisiana bayou. Obsessed with the alluring Zandalee, Johnny pursues them, putting all three on a collision course at least one person will not survive. [More]

Reviews for Zandalee
As cinema, Zandalee is more intriguing for what it attempts to do than for what it actually achieves. But, as softcore eroticism, it's a better-than-average date movie for those hot video nights at home.
As sexy as hell....possibly the best erotic drama since "Nine and a Half Weeks". Erika Anderson could melt frozen chocolate on a winter's day!
Intended as an artistically serious feature film about real-life eroticism, Zandalee -- for reasons no doubt mysterious to its makers -- turned out so laugh-out-loud loopy it went straight to video shelves.
