Rod Stewart: Infatuation was quite a rocking video with two endings

[tavm · 7/10 · 21 April 2017]

This mostly black-and-white video featured Rod Stewart in an apartment watching a gorgeous woman (Kay Lenz) through his binoculars and window with lots of pics of her undressing behind him. Perfect setting for the song "Infatuation", huh? The guy looking for her is played by Mike Mazurki who I found out appeared in roles in many movies from the '30s to the '80s. The director was Jonathan Kaplan who eventually helmed The Accused about Jodie Foster's rape and trial and Unlawful Entry about a guy eyeing a gorgeous couple. He also was previously involved with producer Roger Corman when he was head of New World Pictures, a studio that made many exploitation movies. Speaking of Corman, one of his players-Dick Miller-also appeared in this video. This musical short had two endings-one in which Stewart sees the woman ride away with her lover and one in which she spurned that lover and embraced Rod on the merry-go-round. So on that note, Rod Stewart: Infatuation is worth a look. P.S. I also watched a "Pop-Up Video" version when it was on VH1 during the '90s where it had quite a bit of interesting info popping up throughout the thing.
