While going through the archives I stumbled across an old Michelle Bauer effort and gave it another view - that's right boys and girls, it's movie review time - today we will examine The Trap - this is a Cal Star production directed by Barbara Behr starring Michelle Bauer, Julia Parton and some unknown chick who has a vague resemblance to Laurie Rose/Jennifer Brooks - run time is 55 minutes and was released in 1985.So this chick named Muffy makes her living by checking out real estate and if the agent has jewelry etc on she breaks into their home later and rips them off. This time she is after Jody. She breaks in, binds and gags Jody and rummages through the house for valuables. Did I mention for reasons unknown she has ample time to redress and rebind Jody several times during her search? She discovers some rather kinky items in Jody's closet and gives her a few lame lashes with the cat.
Once Muffy exits Jody hobbles her way to a telephone and calls her friend Diane played by Michelle Bauer. She arrives, unties her pal and they concoct a scheme to trap and teach this bitch a lesson. This time Diane plays the leasing agent and Muffy shows up to look at the property. Diane is. of course, wearing lots of bling. Muffy arrives that night, breaks in and is quickly subdued by our heroines, handcuffed and ball gagged and placed in a cage.
Diane has to leave and makes the mistake of leaving a riding crop within reach and Muffy escapes and gets the best of an unsuspecting Jody who is promptly bound and caged. When Diane returns she is knocked out and cuffed. Luckily she has keys in her blouse and quickly gets loose. Together, Diane and Jody overpower Muffy, bind her and put her back in the cage. Once again Diane must leave.
Jody decides to punish Muffy so she places her in a strappado and cat lashes her. She then suspends Muffy by her ankles and more cat lashes. Diane returns and informs Muffy they now know who she is. In an attempt by the producers to give this a moral code with some redeeming social value Diane lectures Muffy and informs her she will be kept hostage until she reforms. Muffy willingly applies her own cuffs and submits to captivity. The End
Movie Pluses - well, there is a lot of bondage in this one, reasonably well done - and you get plenty of skin.
Movie Minuses - it is all chick/chick, major downgrade - other than the strappado lashing there is really no other torment so it is rather vanilla bondage - the reason I watched the flick was Michelle Bauer who is restrained for perhaps two minutes and remains fully clothed for the entire film - downer.
The Verdict - and this film illustrates why Behr's best work came from Blakemore.
