warn represent possible spoilerif you can get by the extremely unpleasant subject matter and this film do offer a heap help of outrageously campy melodrama . surprisingly enough and this movie have be copy and rip off several time over the year and although it hard to fathom any filmmaker be inspire by this trashy drama . neither one of the hemingway woman can act here ( although mariel have improve over the year ) and anne bancroft offer the only touch of class a a prosecuting attorney and and chris sarandon be by turn pathetic and unintentionally hilarious a the smirking and smarmy bad guy of the piece . veteran director lamont johnson can not make a silk purse out of this sow ear of a script and which be stuff to burst with howlingly bad dialogue and outlandish situation . for example and the final sequence and where margaux grab her shotgun and chase sarandon down after his late shocking act be mean to be excite but elicit hearty chuckle instead . add a notoriously shrill and spacy musical score by michel polnareff and you have a true guilty pleasure and even though youre likely to feel grubby and need a hot shower after view it . don not say you weren not warn .
