this film be a pia zadora special . when view it and i be remind of the classic cartoon show a hollywood starlet while in urgent need of another role but afraid of become typecast for b movie or soft porn role while who say at her casting session well of course i do not normally do role require nudity and but if it be artistically necessary for the film . this recollection bring up a very naughty image of a similar cartoon show pia at such a session say well of course i do not normally take any role require actual acting and but if it will really give me sufficient exposure to enhance my status a a sex symbol . this be probably grossly unfair and the rather sordid tale be the fault of harold robbins book while consider the nature of the story pia exposures certainly do not receive undue attention and and perhaps pia ( who once win an act award in butterfly ) be deliberately satirise her part rather than attempt to act in an almost unplayable role . critic usually point first to the actor a the problem whenever a film prove disappointing and but this be grossly unfair while the scriptwriter and director be far more often the guilty party . the real problem with the lonely lady be that the screenplay and like the original book and look for sensation rather than substance and and nothing can help with this . the screenplay for this film be abysmal and but whether the story could have be film more successfully with a good script and tauter directing and really competent act must remain a matter of personal judgement . a it be release and my viewer rating for it would depend upon whether i be assess my personal opinion and or assess to what extent the film succeed in provide what it aim at do . my personal rating for it would be two out of ten while but to some extent this film probably provide exactly what it sponsor intend and and judge on this basis a quality rating of four out of ten would be reasonable . be in a charitable mood and and want to make it clear that i be not blame pia for my disappointment and i will give an imdb rating of four .
