Antonio Tibaldi directed this drama set off the Georgia coast on remote Dolphin Island, where young Italian Stefano Mauri (Stefano Dionisi) mysteriously arrives out of the blue one day, promptly finding work as a handyman at a rundown motel, although he never explains just who he is, where he came from, or why he landed on Dolphin Island. The motel's laundress is the attractive Claudine Van Doozen (Christina Applegate). Subject to major mood swings and occasional erratic behavior, Claudine moonlights as a dance hostess in the evenings. Amid the coastal splendor, Stefano and Claudine fall into a riddle of a relationship, explored with enigmatic twists and turns. The screenplay by director Tibaldi and Heidi Hall is based on Hall's short story, -The Magnificent Rescue. Shown at the 1998 L.A. Independent Film Festival. ~ Bhob Stewart, All Movie Guide

Antonio Tibaldi's erotic drama Kiss of Fire comes to DVD with a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 2.35:1. The closed-captioned English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital Surround. There are no subtitles on this release. With its expensive list price and its lack of extras, this disc is difficult to recommend. However, the picture and sound quality are first-rate. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide
