As one who is fond of old films I would certainly have remembered this one if I had seen it years ago on VHS. It has some minor stars that I find attractive (and one whom I did not know but intend to check out) and has enough plot to carry things along nicely. It is filled with hot sex and is also excellently photographed. For me it is a find! The plot is simple but effective. Its sort of a gay Melrose Place. Hot guys move in and are warmly accepted. It opens with Greg Erickson hoping to move in. I never saw this performer before but hes cute (or was since this is an old film remastered for DVD). He has thick black hair, a winsome smile, and a perky bum. He informs the assistant manager Tanner Reeves that hes just moved to the city and has a job, but his credit is poor. Tanner offers to let Greg stay with him until he can get the manager to okay him as a tenant. Greg is so happy he gets it on with Tanner then and there, letting the older stud bang his bum.

Someone actually wrote a theme song for this mess, and it's awful! Spare yourself the pain! Story: I think Santa Monica Place is supposed to be some kind of sendup of Melrose Place. That's just a guess, though, as I've never seen Melrose Place. Basically, some kid moves into a condo, where all his neighbors have lots of sex. Scene One Starring: Tanner Reeves, Greg Erickson Greg is looking for a place to stay, and the Tanner, the assistant manager at Santa Monica Place, agrees to let him say at his pad for a while. After some terrible dialog, the two guys go at it. Unfortunately, I didn't find either one of these guys attractive. They're not bad, but those poofy hair-dos are a deal-breaker for me. Ugh. I guess it does go to show we have made some progress in the last 10 years or so.
