First Post Ever For This Film.

Has anyone else ever caught this direct to video erotic thriller set largely in a LA condominium?
It centers on a shallow young male protagonist being seduced by the whisper voiced and blonde femme fatale played by Tanya Roberts, wife of a psychotic and over the top criminal played by George Segal, who's leg shakes as a sign he's about to snap. The plot is essentially thin until the climax when we discover that the protagonist is being set up by his new roommate (also having an affair with Roberts) and Roberts herself, to take the fall for murdering her husband.

Pretty much derivative of 90's erotic thrillers and 1940's film noir stories transplanted to bright and steamy California. The film is a cheap, sensational, and guilty pleasure of mine. And would love to know more about it...

Okay here's a bump. I remember reading on IMDB that this film was shown many times on late night HBO throughout the 90's, and that the oringinal script was much better and thought provoking than the finished film.
