A hot summer evening in New York City: 3 people – a young drummer, a young and an old lady – accidentally meet in the cellar of an apartment house where they want to wash their clothes. Suddenly, the door of that cellar room closes and they find themselves trapped: the door can’t be opened from inside. No gig for the drummer, no flight to San Francisco and to her fiancé for the young lady, no romantic dinner for the old one. So they start talking, trying to find out what kind of persons they are. I mean, they start talking, then pick on each other, then provoke each other, until the discussion resembles an inquisition. And then they change roles, and the game starts again.
At one point, the two younger people have sex while the older woman tries to ignore them.
The male star is Wes Bentley, in his first major role in a feature film. Within a year he would become famous, thanks to a role in Beloved and a major role in a Best Picture winner, American Beauty. He has now assembled a decent resume, but stardom never happened for him.
I guess you know what happened to Kate Walsh. While movie stardom eluded her, she did eventually become a big deal on TV as a major character on Gray’s Anatomy, which ran forever, and as the star of that show’s spin-off, Private Practice, which ran for seven years on its own. After a long absence, she returned to Gray’s Anatomy for the final two seasons.

This is not much of a sex scene. It’s repetitious, and goes on for three full minutes without only momentary glances at a breast.

She did a lot of sexy scenes in her career, but for nearly a quarter of a century, this was her only true nudity. Then she surprised everyone by doing much better nudity than this in a sex scene at age 54, in an indie drama called Sometime Other Than Now (2021)
