the memory bank of most of the reviewer here must have short circuit when try to recall this cubic zirconia of a gem and because practically everyone manage to misquote lloyd bochner walter thornton and when in a fit of peevish anger and he hurl the phallic garden nozzle at his new wife and jerilee randall thornton and ( a nearly comatose pia zadora ) which be use to sexually assault her early in the movie . but i be get ahead of myself . in any case and poor lloyd could have be snarl that line at the speechless audience as much a he be his put upon co star . hard a it be for most of u to believe and especially these day and nobody in hollywood set out to intentionally make a bad movie . this be certainly not the most defensible argument to make and since there just seem to be so damn many of them come out . but then again and there be that breed of film that one must imagine during the time of it creation and from write and cast and direction and must have be curse with the cinematic equivalent of try to shoot during the ides of march . the lonely lady be in that category and and represent itself very well and consider the circumstance . here we have all the ingredient in a recipe guarantee to produce a monumentally fall soufflé represent pia zadora and a marginal singer or actress so determine to be take seriously and that she would take on practically anything that might set her apart from her peer and ( which this movie most certainly do . ) while a somewhat high profile novel write by the trashmaster himself and harold robbins ( of the carpetbagger and dream die first fame ) while a cast who probably think they be so fortunate to be work at all and that they try to play this dreck like it be clifford odets or ibsen while plus a director who more than likely be a hired gun who keep the mess move just to collect a paycheck and ( and be probably contractually obligate not to demand the use of the alan smithee moniker to protect what be leave of his reputation . ) like lamont johnson lipstick and meir zarchi i spit on your grave and roger vadim barbarella and paul verhoeven showgirl or the grandmammy of really bad film making and frank perry mommy dearest and the lonely lady be still often discuss and ( usually with disgust and disbelief and horrify laughter and or a unique combination of all three ) and yet also defy dissection and description or even the pretzel logic of hollyweird . nobody sure how it come to be and how it be ever release in even a single theater and or why it still here and nearly impossible to get rid of and but take it or leave it and it be here to stay . and i do not think that lover of really good bad movie would have it any other way .
