The Kiss (Let’s Play Dynasty)
The Kiss (Let's Play Dynasty)
This video ironically shows the connections between excessively melodramatic standards of TV and the subjects of art movies. The Kiss is a ‘vintage remake’ of the most famous Hollywood-style serial of the 1980s: Dynasty. Helmut Berger acted in some episodes of the original series. Instead of his usual role as Peter DeVilbis, a dissolute and self-destructive aristocrat, he now assumes the part of Alexis Carrington, originally played by Joan Collins.
