Editor's Notes and Comments:
Description:
Haunted by the bizarre suicide of a patient, New York psychologist Dr. Bill Capa abandons his successful practice and relocates to L.A., but his encounters there prove as shocking as the chilling event he has run away from, and he immediately finds himself entangled in an explosive sexual relationship with a beautiful but enigmatic woman named Rose, and the investigation into the brutal stabbing murder of a friend and colleague, Dr. Bob Moore. A moth drawn to a flame, Dr. Capa is lured to Rose by his sexual cravings, and he discovers this woman has the power to fulfill his most reckless erotic fantasies. Yet, the more she satisfies him, the more he finds himself enslaved by her manipulation and control. As Capa gets closer to identifying the killer of his patient, Rose becomes an equally tantalizing mystery that he must solve -- if he can stay alive long enough to avoid a lunatic murderer who is stalking him.

Psychological twists and turns strangle the plot of this disappointing effort from the director of The Stunt Man, Richard Rush. Emotionally damaged psychiatrist Bruce Willis leaves his practice behind and moves to LA when a patient commits suicide in front of him. Out of the goodness of his broken heart, he takes over the practice of a murdered colleague (Scott Bakula). Jane March is the needy but mysterious woman who literally crashes into his life, making sexual advances the good doctor soon reciprocates. What March seems to need most, however, is underwear. The plot and the dialogue vacillate between silly and inane, leaving us with some so-so sex and overblown performances. This could explain why it was the winner of the 1995 Razzie Award for Worst Picture. If you want a more effective thriller that delves into damaged psyches, take another look at Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo. --Rochelle O'Gorman

The plot was pretty good. Since it has been rehashed by several reviewers, I won't go over it again. I have a different opinion of some of the other viewers about the actress who played the love interest. She had the body of a twelve-year-old boy and I do not think the sex scene came off that well.

Much less than a great movie, but bought the director's cut to see BW making love anyway. I wish they could have put him with someone better looking than that butter-face girl. (Body is great, but her face!) Actually, she will be pretty when she gets those teeth fixed and I hope she does and good luck to her. She rather put me off this movie. Leslie A. Warren shouldn't do blonde; Scott Bakula died too soon and Ruben Blades is one of my favorites, kiss, kiss, kiss to him.

Bruce Willis plays Bill Capa in this erotic thriller. There are many twists in it right till the end. Some critics panned it but I found it worth watching and his acting in it as very credible. Different from his action and comedy roles which shows his versatility as a leading male actor.
Don't let the R rating sway you as here in Aussie land it would only have received an M rating.

Colour Of Night is one of those bad bad movies that makes you feel guilty at the end for actually enjoying it. Even though the script is just awful, director Richard Rush brings enough energy and style to make it entertaining.
The acting ranges from bad to worse to just plain ridicoulus. Jane March is too cute and sweet to be convincing as the mysterious femme fatale. Ruben Blades and Leslie Ann Warren are just annoying. And Bruce Willis tries his best. Only the alway-excellent Brad Dourif manages to escape with his credibility intact. His performance as the neurotic lawyer is the strongest performance in the whole movie. The film is nicely shot by the late cinematographer Dietrich Lohmann, and composer Dominic Frontiere provides and excellent score.

I'll just say right now that I know this movie is preposterous. In fact this movie is technically terrible. The script is weak, very weak. The dialog is ridiculous and inane. The performances are over-the-top and resemble that of a cheap adult film (this film in general feels like a cheap adult film) but in all its cheesy deliciousness I can't help but adore this movie. Sure, I only gave it two stars, but those two stars are seriously heartfelt.
The storyline is retarded (is that politically correct) but I'll give you the run down just for kicks. Psychiatrist Bill Capa goes colour blind after a patient of his commits suicide in front of him and so, obviously under emotional distress, he travels to LA to visit with a friend and fellow psychiatrist. When his friend is murdered Bill decides to take over his therapy group (not to mention living in the man's house). Little does he know that this group, as well as a mysterious woman who walks (drives) into his life may all have connections to the death of his friend. As he gets closer to uncovering them his life is put in extreme danger.
Bruce Willis is not one known for doing films like this. He's the action guy (there are some action scenes here, but they are dense), right? Well, he dumbs it down a little here as Bill, but his performance is sincere even if it is weak. Jane March (who is actually an actress in the adult film industry) is horrible as Rose, the mysterious girl who engages in countless lustful acts with Bill. They make an attractive couple (and Bruce is not afraid to let himself swing free) and their love scenes are highlights of the film (they are the only scenes that are not diluted with preposterous dialog) but their steamy chemistry is not enough to save the film from being nothing more than a guilty (yes I'm guilty) pleasure.
The supporting players are not any better here. Lesley Ann Warren is extremely over-the-top in a way that makes me wonder how she ever got into acting in the very first place, and Ruben Blades is ridiculous; utterly ridiculous. The entire lot of patients are clichéd and annoying.
As the film draws to its close the plot twists begin to get more and more convoluted and implausible and the ending is above and beyond ridiculous. The fact remains that this film is D-Grade at best and really has no purpose other than to include gratuitous nudity and violence into a mainstream film. See it for the skin (there are ample amounts from both Willis and March) and enjoy it for all it's absurdity. Don't expect something smart or connective but sometimes it's nice to turn off your brain and indulge in something `trashy'.
