Quick Answer

What is Sexpot about?

Sexpot is a 1990 American comedy film directed by Chuck Vincent about Ivy Barrington, a Marilyn Monroe look-alike who marries wealthy older men and orchestrates their untimely deaths for their fortunes.

Programmer's Pick

Sexpot turns the black widow trope into a farcical romp, with Ruth Collins channeling a Monroe-esque menace and a supporting cast that’s in on the joke. The film gleefully smashes the fourth wall and piles on the high-camp gold-digging hijinks—you’ll never look at a falling object the same way again.

Overview

Ivy Barrington, a seemingly demure Marilyn Monroe look-alike, is anything but innocent. Armed with charm and a keen eye for wealthy older husbands, Ivy’s marriages always end in mysterious "accidents" that leave her a widow with a growing fortune. She’s not alone in her schemes—her entourage includes the ambitious actor Jackson and the sharp-tongued screenwriter Boopsie, each adding their own flair to her outrageous lifestyle. As Ivy continues her gold-digging spree, the late Mr. Barrington’s three daughters plot their own form of comedic revenge. The film mixes dark humor, femme fatale antics, and a bit of fourth-wall-breaking sass in a setup that’s as irreverent as it is cheeky.
