Synopsis

Amber (Madonna) is a spoiled rich bitch who's far from impressed when her husband Tony (Bruce Greenwood) takes her on holiday on a luxury yacht. While Amber and her high-society friends enjoy their luxury, they take pleasure in humiliating the crew members. Especially Guiseppe (Adriano Giannini) has a difficult time dealing with Amber's demands. But then one day, when Guiseppe takes Amber on a boat trip, their engine fails and they get shipwrecked on a deserted island. Instantly the roles are reversed, when Amber all of a sudden finds herself dependent on the goodwill of Guiseppe to provide her with food. Knowing he's in charge now, it's payback time for Guiseppe and he makes Amber to his servant, even if he has to use violence. Until they fall in love...

Now a huge star,  Playboy  publishes some of the shots taken in 1979 and 1980 in a revealing spread. A year earlier, the magazine turned down nude photos of Miss America winner  Vanessa Williams , which their rival  Penthouse  published. "We think Vanessa genuinely didn't know what she was doing, didn't know her photos might be published," the article states. "Madonna, on the other hand, posed repeatedly for two noted photographers who routinely publish what they shoot." One of the photographers, Lee Friedlander, says of the shoot: "She seemed very confident, a street-wise girl." Madonna has little to say on the matter, but doesn't shy away. "I'm not ashamed,...
