Review of Dreaming About You

I agree wholeheartedly with Charles King's review that the film is "pleasant and well done" for its day. The movie focuses on the yearnings of many an adolescent boy coping with the frustrated sexual temptations and resulting wet dreams of early teenage years. His acting is believable and does make the film work. The sex scene near the end of the movie is quite explicit, although toned down by the long dissolves, but both Leticia Perdigon and the boy are completely nude. The scene is very intimate and reveals probably more than intended. The boy's erection is noticeable and it seems like actual penetration is taking place as the dissolving scenes blend into each other. I'm amazed that I've never seen any comment or reference to the boy's erection and possible actual sex taking place, it sure seems like it may have happened. It's very doubtful if the movie with such an explicit scene and underage boy could be done today. But the intimacy adds a lot and makes the whole story believable and pleasant.
