Red Shoe Diaries: The Movie (1992) (aka Wild Orchid III: Red Shoe Diaries)

This feature length film - the debut pilot movie (in R and unrated versions) was a prelude to the entire anthology series.

Brigitte Bako starred as Alex - an interior designer who was involved with two men, revealed only after her suicide:

• fiancee Jake (David Duchovny)
• blue-collar construction worker Tom (Billy Wirth)

Jake solicited the secret diaries of women who harbored secrets or were the victims of secrets.

Zalman King was the leading creator of erotic/romantic programming for his time. These are just a few of many examples of Zalman King's long-running, late-night Showtime series of glossy, soft-core films blending erotica and fantasy that aired during five seasons from 1992 -1997.

Most of the episodic plots involved the sexual awakening of a female.

Each of the 'women's-oriented' episodes (66 in total) was taken from a woman's secret diary that was narrated by David Duchovny (of TV's The X-Files).
