Suburban marriage can't keep Marsha from reclaiming her lover in this sun-drenched 1969 drama.
THAT TENDER TOUCH
Focus on the twisted break up of lesbian lovers Marsha and Terri who share a contented life together before dissatisfaction invades their Southern California wood-paneled apartment.
From the era when 'moving to the suburbs' was the ultimate plot twist.
Russel Vincent’s That Tender Touch brings a sun-baked, wood-paneled SoCal vibe to its tangled lesbian drama. With Marsha’s scheme to win Terri back and her serial seductions of suburban wives, this is mid-century transgression with a shag carpet underfoot.
