this be a genuinely horrible film . the plot ( such a it be ) be totally undecipherable . ( i think it have something to do with blackmail and but i be not entirely certain . ) half of the dialogue consist of useless cliche . the other half be speak by the various actor in such unintelligible imitation of southern accent that ( thankfully ) the word can not be recognize . but the one true tragedy of the movie be that such a historic talent a mary tyler moore apparently be in such dire financial or personal circumstance that she appear in it .
