Red Shoe Diaries 8: Night of Abandon

Red Shoe Diaries is an American erotic drama anthology series that aired on Showtime from June 27, 1992 to June 1, 1997, and was distributed by Playboy Entertainment, but as of 2025, Paramount Global Content Distribution overseas. It is a spin-off of the television film of the same name directed by Zalman King. Most episodes were directed by either King or Rafael Eisenman. Episodes usually have a plot revolving around romantic intrigue and the sexual awakening of a woman who often also narrates. Sensuous love scenes with nudity as well as sultry, moody music are characteristic for most episodes. Each episode was introduced by the character Jake Winters (David Duchovny, reprising his film role) in a frame story of soliciting stories from women via a newspaper advertisement. But otherwise each episode was a standalone production, with no recurring characters or story arcs.
