With a fine Raven Touchstone script to work from, director Bud Lee delivers a "lost" winner of a video, perhaps living up to its title "Incognito". Adam & Eve strayed from the high-quality approach to even a simple, low-budget project in its 21st Century releases, making this entry from two decades back worth checking out.
In the most serious (not cracking wise or going for laughs) performance I've ever seen from him, star Jonathan Morgan portrays a private eye who specializes in romantic cases, and advertises himself as "Casanova..." (I couldn't make out the noun following, which keeps sounding like Cock or Cop when pronounced by the cast).
Main case involves sisters seeking out their birth mother, who gave both of them up for adoption in infancy. Johnnie Black has the lead role as Dixie Adams, while her redhead sister is well-played by the lesser known Mandi Frost. (SPOILER: the identity of their long-lost mom at the end of the film is an unconvincing plot twist since the actress playing her is only a few years older than actress Johnnie.) Later Mandi turns up missing and the case takes on more compelling implications.
Anita Cannibal steals her scenes, as the unsung actress is uber-hot and even throws in a fairly amazing fire act as a stripper. John Decker plays Morgan's assistant and gets a sexual bone or two thrown his way by the boss.
It was great seeing Morgan stay in character and avoid the facetiousness and face-pulling that is his stock in trade. Lee directs smoothly, always including interesting and surprising camera angles during a sex scene and giving the film outstanding set decoration that makes a tiny budget look like a million at times.
