This film from 1992 is a CAT III film that is all over the place on so many levels. It wasn't what I expected and is certainly no run-of-the-mill CAT III skin flick.
I found it to be a pleasant 90 minutes viewing but somewhat strange at the same time. To be frank I don't think this film needed to be CAT III with the nudity, the story was good enough (though not fully developed) to be an interesting comedy in my opinion. The acting was on the whole fine though not outstanding and the comedy was of a so-so sort. It was a little disappointing in that it could have easily been much funnier, particularly in the male spirit in a female body story line. Whereas it went CAT III in places for cheap laughs (or whatever), it didn't really need to. Examples being a shower scene for no real reason, the man in a woman's body checking his (her) privates a little too often just to make sure he is in a woman's body and a few other examples, you get the imagery I am sure. The comedy is a bit stop/start in places which is disappointing because I feel that with a little more work this film could have made it as a comedy without the periodic nudity. In fact the nude scenes feel a bit out of place and not that necessary to the story's development. I got the impression that the director thought "oh it has been X minutes since the last nude scene, time for the next".
The film is a little over long and the story definitely runs out of breath before the 90 minutes, it then descends (unfortunately) into typical CAT III material to get to the 90 minute mark.
Overall there is a lot to recommend about False Lady and it is worth a viewing but with some reservations and disappointment in regards to what it could have been. Watch it and laugh, a little at least.
