O tomto filmu

Jacqueline Bisset ("The Deep," "Murder on the Orient Express") stars in this dramatic story of one young woman's odyssey from innocence to decadence. She leaves British Columbia with her boyfriend at age 19, young and pretty and hopeful for a career in show business. But a detour to Las Vegas leads her into a life that by 22, no one would envy. Jim Brown ("The Dirty Dozen") and Joseph Cotten ("Citizen Kane," "Gaslight") co-star, with a quick cameo by Penny Marshall ("Laverne and Shirley"). A compelling feature from television director Jerry Paris ("Happy Days").

When you go back this far to this time and place... you see how awful everything was but how wonderful it was, too. If you enjoy time-capsules, this is your film and Bissett never looked better. It is an interesting movie and I promise you will be transported to another place and time. The Vegas scenes are very good and makes you see that performing in the shows was like a family back then.
