28. Bolero (1984)

Starring: Bo Derek, George Kennedy, Andrea Occhipinti

Directed By: John Derek

Bolero is a 1984 drama that has a simple premise that revolves around a 1920s English heiress, played by Bo Derek, as she seeks pleasures along with a bullfighter, who was played by Andrea Occhipinti, and a Morrocan Sheikh.

The film received widely negative reviews from across the board. Critics and the audience are in a consensus that this film fails to entertain. It tried too hard to spark the interest of the audience, which, unfortunately, resulted in boredom. It is one of John Derek’s great disappointments. He is a distinguished director and is held to such a degree, even by Rotten Tomatoes. He is responsible for films such as The Ten Commandments, Scandal Sheet, and All the King’s Men. Scandal Sheet even received a perfect rating from the Tomatometer. This is why it is a great wonder why a director of his caliber is capable of such a disastrous movie as Bolero.
