...film has a moral, it is, "Don't dream it, be it"--a line O'Brien took from the catalog of the racy couturier Frederick's of Hollywood. For most Rockyphiles it is enough to dress like a Frederick's dream: Dracula makeup, dominatrix corset, your basic black garter belt. The hard-core fans, who mime the dialogue onstage, do more than suit up for the dream; they star in it. And once in a full moon the dream can come true. Ron Maxwell, 22, is a Citibank computer operator by day and one of the Eighth Street's performing...

Marianne's stolid features crack into a swooning smile. Armed with subway schedules and candy bars and tarted up in a dress that must have come from Friedrich's of Heidelberg, she prowls the underground for her erotic prey. Will she find her slim swain? And then crush him under the weight of a lonely woman's first obsession? Or does she have some darker fantasy to realize? Is she the Bernhard Goetz...
...Hays office days, even married couples had to keep one foot on the floor. After the sexual revolution it became possible for William Hurt, in 1981's Body Heat, to kiss his co-star with both hands up her dress. Open-mouthed kissing, the old "French kiss," in the past 15 years or so became common not only in movies but also in television dramas.
