Summary: Christina gets a paycheck
Review: The biggest gyp I've ever seen. The costume she wears is out of Annette Funicello and the 1950's. She has no heat - whatsoever, no dance moves either. This is strictly a marketting movie all about selling the cover.

Summary: I never knew Christina had the potential
Review: The first thing that shocked me about "Kiss of Fire" was Christina Applegate's performance. I mean, WOW. She just MADE this movie.The storyline was actually very strong. The director handled it well. Claudine (Applegate), a beautiful free-spirited young woman, is desperately trying to escape her awful past. She is a laundry girl by day and an exotic dancer by night. When claudine meets Stephano (Dionisi), a man who changes her life, she learns about real love and decides to confront the secrets that haunt her. Everything seems wonderful...but all good things usually come to an end. "Kiss of Fire" is powerful, captivating, and intensely riveting.
A truly beautiful film. I searched and searched and searched and FINALLY found it on DVD. It only includes a chapter selection (1-29) and captions (english subtitles or none). The main menu has a gorgeous picture of Christina Applegate on it with some fireworks in the background. If you've seen "Kiss of Fire" and you're looking for the DVD, I found mine at the Virgin Mega Store in Westside Downtown Disney in Orlando, FL. Well, that's only if you live near there or are planning to go there. ...

Summary: The unsettling dark side of humanity & the need for love
Review: This movie ranks very high on the list of an ability to cut through the hollywood candy coated lives we see in most movies. The writer and director had an understanding of human life and the need to be loved. In this film Christina Applegates character has fallen into the underworld trying to cope with her failed search for real love. When she meets a young man who truly loves her she is unbelieving and rejects his love over and over. When he is relentless in his understanding for her she finally gives in to him and all seems good. But like so often in life just when things seem to be getting better it ends. The film makes a great point about life at the end and leaves you sad but comforted and wiser. This is one of the better films I have seen in a long time. The actual filming is suberb in creating intimacy without a coating of explicit sex so as to not distract from the real story. The film draws you in close in a very artistic way. ...

Summary: Best film she's done since "Streets"
Review: Those who seek this video for hot action of Christina Applegate as a stripper will be disappointed with all but about two minutes of this film. It's a rather dour tale of a Southern girl from a rich home (Applegate) who runs away from her "evil stepmother" (what the exact problem is with the stepmom is never adequately explained). An Italian drifter happens along and they strike up a romance, although she is rather abivalent. The film is basically about the ins and outs of their relationship. There's very little humor and not a lot of sexual heat--the main message seems to be "life sucks, but it's all we have". Based on a short story by Heidi Hall ("The Magnifcent Rescue"), who also scripted the film. Perhaps the s story had more of a point.
