Half Moon Street (1986) DVDRip Oldies

Dr. Lauren Slaughter, a brilliant researcher at the Institute for Middle East Study Strategy, is facing economical difficulties since her paltry scholarship of one hundred fifty pounds sterling per week is insufficient to live in the expensive London. Lauren graduated from Harvard University with a Ph.D and had lived in China for many years, and is now working in the institute that seeks a special relationship with the Arab World. After a dinner in the house of banker Hugo Van Arkady, Lauren receives a videotape from the Jasmine Escort Service at home. When her chief, General Sir George Newhouse, publishes her research without any reference to her name, Lauren becomes upset and decides to moonlight at the escort service to raise money to move to Half Moon Street and have casual sex with eventual clients. When Lauren meets the prominent Lord Sam Bulbeck, who is negotiating a peace treaty between the Arabs and Israelis, they become lovers. However, Lauren does not know that she is being manipulated by powerful politicians to jeopardize the work of Lord Bulbeck.
