What happens

Masquerade is a 1988 American neo-noir romantic thriller film directed by Bob Swaim and starring Rob Lowe, Meg Tilly, Kim Cattrall, and Doug Savant. Written by Dick Wolf, the film is about a recently orphaned heiress in the Hamptons who falls in love with a young yacht racing captain who is not completely truthful with her about his past. Produced and distributed by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Masquerade was filmed on location in Long Island in the spring of 1987. It was released theatrically on March 11, 1988. The film grossed $15.8 million at the box office and was met with mixed reviews from film critics, though it received praise for its performances, cinematography, and elements of classic Hollywood film noir.
