Alan J. Pakula directs the political thriller Rollover, produced by leading lady Jane Fonda's production company, IPC Films. Featuring a racist plot and negative stereotypes about the Arab world, this film reflected the American fear of the Middle East prevalent in the early '80s. Fonda stars as former film star Lee Winters, who inherits a multimillion-dollar company when her corporate bigwig husband is murdered. She teams up with banker Hubbell Smith (Kris Kristofferson) in order to find her husband's killer and survive in the world of high-stakes international finance. They become lovers and travel together to Saudi Arabia to secure a loan and to guarantee Lee's spot as the company's board chairman. However, they end up discovering an Arab company's plan to withdraw money from the world's banks in order to destabilize the Western economy. Rollover also stars Hume Cronyn and Josef Sommer. This story also foreshadowed Jane Fonda's marriage to corporate bigwig Ted Turner in 1991. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, Rovi

Abigail Leslie is Back in Town was the brainchild of prolific (200-plus titles!) sexploitation director Joe Sarno. In the tradition of Durrenmatt's The Visit, a young woman is driven from a small town in disgrace after a messy extramarital affair. When she returns, she goes the "Harper Valley PTA" route, proving that her tormentors are no better than she. Joe Sarno insists that it's based on a true story. Originally the title was Abagail Leslie is Back in Town, indicating that someone in the publicity department needed a spell-checker. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

A randy archeologist, his naïve assistant, his lusty wife, and her longtime lover all discover just how much fun can be had while searching for ancient civilizations in director Joe Sarno's classic sex romp. Archeologist Walter has brought his wife Laura and sultry assistant Anna to a small island off the Swedish coast in order to search for traces of a long-disappeared civilization that once settled in the area. Though at first Walter and his assistant make little progress in unearthing clues to the fate of the mysterious civilization, it doesn't take long for the pair to realize that it's far more fun to wade between the sheets that on the beach. When Laura sees just how well her husband has gotten to know his beautiful assistant, her initial anger soon gives way to a lust that becomes difficult to maintain. Back in her schooldays, Laura and her classmate Hanni explored every conceivable pleasure together, and as fate would have it Hanni is currently visiting the mainland. After making contact with her longtime friend and lover and subsequently becoming infatuated with the buxom Anna, Laura becomes convinced that it is her mission to school the buttoned-down archeologist-in-training in the fine art of forbidden female pleasure. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
