This average movie about an interracial love affair between a frustrated New York housewife on vacation and the local black Caribbean stud is on video under the title "Tropical Heat" on Vidcrest Home Video (Catalog #116). An earlier "user comment" said this movie wasn't on video, but it is. It's just not under the original title "Hot Pants Holiday". It was released on Vidcrest in 1984. Don't know if any other company put this out on video.

Odette not Odetta

A previous comment writer (FORREST136 ForrestandEthel@AOL.com) says that Odetta the African-American folk singer is in this film, Hot Pants Holiday. Odetta has made a few acting appearances over her long, distinguished career, but this does not happen to be one of them. The actress featured in Hot Pants Holiday is actually the minor French actress Odette Myril. Myril's husband was a singer as one of The Two Bobs.
Hot Pants Holiday writer/director Edward Mann may also be held responsible for other films with incredible, multiple titles: The Mutations (1974) aka Dr. of Evil aka The Freakmaker aka The Mutation. Seizure (1974) aka Queen of Evil aka Tango macabre. Who Says I Can't Ride a Rainbow? (1971) aka Barney. Cauldron of Blood aka Children of Blood aka Death Comes from the Dark aka The Corpse Collectors aka The Shrinking Corpse. Hallucination Generation (1966). Island of Terror (1966) aka Night of the Silicates aka The Creepers aka The Night the Creatures Came aka The Night the Silicates Came.

From Frustration To Taboo Torid Love! That sums up Ht Pants Holiday! Tudi Wiggins is so sexy in the lead, and Christopher St. John gives a great performance! Odetta the singer has a small part! Beautiful Island scenery makes this GEM! Too bad its not on video! Some softcore sex but nothing offensive!
