  • Talented Sam Neill (JURASSIC PARK, THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER) stars with sexy Greta Scacchi (PRESUMED INNOCENT, THE PLAYER) in this delightful comedy cheered by critics nationwide! Spring fever runs wild when a snooty native son returns to his hometown -- and brings along his voluptuous new wife (Scacchi). Before long, every man in this tiny town is falling head-over-heels for the charms of this sensuous beauty. But things really heat up when she suddenly finds herself falling in love with the local doctor and resident playboy (Neill). You won't believe all the comic hanky-panky going on behind closed doors in this entertaining treat!
