imdb summary
Andy (Pat Boone) is an arrogant pop singer about to be divorced by his wife (Barbara Eden) who treats his staff badly. On the same night he starts a job at a theater in Los Angeles his infant son is kidnapped. Despite requests from policeman Lieutenant Bonner (Jack Klugman), Paxton plays along with the kidnappers as they string him along even though they are willing to kill.

Such a rare film that this looks like it was projected on a wall and copied with a vhs videocamera, with the eventual dvdr made several vhs generations later. Someone bumped into the projector or camera a few times, so I had to recrop the frame and resize segments to match. Probably the worst video I’ve ever seen, but of course the seller rated the video quality as 8.5/10.
Anyway, cool to see (if you can see him) Pat Boone playing a more interesting role, even if there’s some showbiz caricature and some Shatner intensity. And it’s always nice to see an ex-cop bodyguard (Steve Forrest) manhandling a woman in a bar.

Lewin’s fascination with the exotic and the esoteric comes to a head in his final film. A British archaeologist working in Mexico becomes convinced that a local woman is actually the reincarnation of an Aztec princess. The idea of Mexico as a place where the archaic coexists with the modern fascinated foreigners from Antonin Artaud to William Burroughs. Having already juxtaposed the archaic and the modern in Pandora, Lewin revisits this trope here. The Living Idol dares the ridiculous (even) more than most other Lewin films, and doesn’t always pass the test. But its striking use of widescreen cinematography, as in the climactic moment of a sinister panther stalking a deserted Mexico City plaza, makes it a worthy companion to Dorian Gray and Pandora.
