Die Rache der Schönheitskönigin

Kevin Reese (Kyle Secor) is a simple and good man in love with Beth (Tracey Gold). He fights to pay the debts left by his father and recover the family's farm from the bank. One day, he helps Cheryl (Courtney Thorne-Smith), a beautiful and deranged girl elected the `princess of the lactic'. Cheryl develops an obsessive passion for Kevin, and tries everything to be with him, transforming Kevin and Beth's lives in `hell on earth'. In the introduction of this film, the viewer is informed that this story is based on a true fact. Courtney Thorne-Smith is really gorgeous and has a great performance, but the story is very common and does not bring any surprise. My vote is six.

Title (Brazil): `Obsessão Fatal' (`Fatal Obsession')

I was watching TV, wishing in vain for Homicide: Life on the Street to be on. Instead, I stumbled upon this movie and found Homicide's Kyle Secor in this LAME TV-movie-of-the-week-type flick about a female stalker. I was glad to watch Kyle because he's great in whatever he does, but I was so sad that he was stuck in such a STUPID "movie." I knew what everyone's next moves were going to be and I really couldn't stand it. It's hard to like anyone here (w/ the exception of Kyle). He deserves a new TV show and/or a few independent movie projects. What a great actor, but what a trite movie. If you want to see some blistering acting, watch reruns of H:LOTS.

I watched this movie when it first aired in the fall of 1995 on NBC and since I have viewed it again many times on Lifetime or either the Lifetime Movie Network. Courtney Thorne-Smith is at her best probably the strongest performance of her career and certainly at her sexy best. Courtney showed no flaws at all as an obsessed beauty queen from the midwest who will stop at nothing until she wins the man of her dreams (Kyle Secor) even if it means destroying his true love (Tracey Gold) and finally the obsession becomes murder as one by one it is just her and Kyle. Not only is Courtney at her evil best in this movie but her beauty shows all. That hot scene with Courtney in a reddish maroon bra and panties with Kyle Secor on the bed was great! Now talk about Courtney having hanes her way! Watch this sometime on Lifetime or Lifetime Movie Network it airs often you will enjoy!

Courtney makes this above-average TV drama truly riveting with an alarmingly convincing portrayal of a beautiful psychopath. Wow! Thanks to you, Courtney, I may never date a beautiful woman again.

One thing that is hard to accept is that someone as pretty as Courtney Thorne Smith would throw themselves after a man like that. Other than that it's quite a watchable movie. A beauty queen Miss Dairy something sets her sights on a farmer. But he has a Girlfriend. Even though she briefly steals him away he goes back to his old girlfriend. So the pretty wacko gets homicidal.

Courtney is great over the top wacko. Worth a watch.
