Review
It’s the story of a girl who leaves school and heads to Hollywood to become a star but ends up a stripper instead. She plans to commit suicide by shooting herself in the head to end her strip act in what would obviously be her last performance. Through flashbacks we see what led to her down and out situation.
An actress comes to New York to hit it big, but after experiencing brief success, she gets involved with a lot of sleazy men and her life goes to pieces. This is directed by "Louis Su," the pseudonym Lloyd Kaufman (Troma) used when he made X-rated films in the '70s (during one scene you can clearly see a poster for Troma's SUGAR COOKIES on a wall). It drags on too long, but it's not too bad for this sort of movie. The plot is slightly more elaborate than usual, at least. Highlights include a strange food-fight sex scene, and the ending is memorable, with the heroine blowing her brains out with a gun while performing at a strip club. (After this there's a weird epilogue where we're told she really died all alone at age 83. Not sure what to make of that....) The cast includes Terri Hall as one of the actress's girlfriends.
