Blind Date Summary
MPAA Rating: R
Director: Nico Mastorakis
Genres: Thriller
Rating:
Co-writer and director Nico_Mastorakis filmed this unusual low-budget thriller in his native Athens, Greece. Timothy_Bottoms stars as Jonathan Ratcliff, an American advertising executive who has lost his sight, although the specialist he consults, Dr. Steiger (Keir_Dullea), feels that the cause is psychosomatic. Fitted with a camera-like sonar device that allows him to "see," even if in a non-traditional and rather limited way, Ratcliff takes a vacation in Greece. When he witnesses the murder of a woman with his seeing-eye electronic device, he becomes obsessed with tracking down the killer. Ratcliff's quarry turns out to be a taxi driver armed with a scalpel -- and good eyesight. Blind Date (1984) (alternately titled Deadly Seduction) is notable for early appearances by a trio of actresses who would go on to do bigger and better things: Kirstie_Alley, Valeria_Golino, and Marina_Sirtis.
