Paradise is a 1982
English language romance and adventure film starring
Phoebe Cates and Willie Aames, written and directed by
Stuart Gillard. The original music score was composed by
Paul Hoffert with the theme song sung by Phoebe Cates.
It was critiqued at the time as a "knockoff" of the
more-famous The Blue Lagoon (1980). The film was
marketed with "If Only It Could Have Been
Forever...Paradise...No Two People Have Ever Come So
Close."
The films'' themes were similar: Two young people find
themselves abandoned in a world with no adult
supervision, in fact no other people anywhere. Thus they
have total freedom, inevitably learning all about love
and reproduction, as well as basic survival techniques.
Leonard Maltin''s annual Movie Guide book describes it
this way: "Rating: star and a half. Silly Blue Lagoon
ripoff, with Aames and Cates discovering sex while
stranded in the desert. Both, however, do look good sans
clothes." Upon its release, when reviewed on the show
Sneak Previews, Roger Ebert selected it as his Dog of
the Week, the worst film he saw that week and heavily
berated it.
In the Victorian period, David (Aames) and Sarah
(Cates), two teenagers, travel with a caravan from
Baghdad to Damascus. At an oasis, the white slave agent
''Jackal'' raids them, mainly to add the beautiful young
Sarah to his harem of mistresses. David and Sarah and
her manservant, Geoffrey narrowly escape, but all the
others are slain in the massacre including David''s
American missionary parents. However, Geoffrey doesn''t
survive long, as he sees an encampment that, unbeknownst
to Geoffrey, is run by the Jackal. Geoffrey goes to the
encampment seeking help but is killed by the Jackal as
the remaining duo takes a rest in a nearby enclave on
their westerly direction toward civilization.
Sarah and David''s flight leads them to a beautiful
oasistheir peaceful place in paradisewhere they
discover natural love and their sexuality. However, the
Jackal has not given up on Sarah yet, and David must
lure him to his death, or be killed by him.
In the film''s ending, David confronts the Jackal and is
able to kill him. Sarah reveals to David that she is
pregnant and the two young lovers have finally reached
civilization, the city of Damascus.
