Queen of Melrose Place?

Rating: 1/10 (14 January 1999)

Gorgeous cinematography, art direction and costumes. Adequate leading lady. Thoroughly muddled screenplay. Amateurishly florid direction. Laughably anachronistic music (did I hear a saxophone?). Lame "Godfather" allusions. Many lusty stares and flaring nostrils. No historical basis. My score: 3.
