The Idol Reviews

Parks, an American art student living in London, befriends medical student Leyton, and soon takes a liking to Leyton's girl friend, Hilary. She moves into Parks' apartment, much to the jilted Leyton's chagrin. During a party at Leyton's mother's cottage, Parks and Hilary are discovered in the bedroom by mom Jones, but later Parks comes to Leyton's aid in a fight and Jones begins to reverse her low opinion of the lad. Parks is really still a jerk, however, and plans to break up with Hilary at a New Year's party. Leyton finds this out, and rushes off to warn his ex-love. Meanwhile, Parks arrives at Leyton's house en route to the party, and finds Jones there instead. The nasty boy proceeds to seduce Leyton's mom, then staggers drunkenly to the New Year's bash. Leyton, upon hearing of his friend's latest deed, pushes the soused Parks into a nearby river, killing him. The police then arrest Leyton for manslaughter. The poor kid has all the luck.
