I finally sat down and saw it. The title song is one of my favorites, and it seemed like an interesting mix of characters. But I was sorry to see that it was simply a bad movie.
Ross could not act her way out of a paper bag. Although Perkins is not bad in his role, you've seen him like this before, and his handling of photographic equipment is untrained and just awful. You cannot buy it. Frankly, he is doing schtick like someone might do in a black comedy. Evidently no one told Perkins it was NOT a black comedy.
Dee Williams comes off OK but that's about it. There are so many stagey and cringe-worth scenes. The gun scene. The preposterous car crash. Perkins shooting Ross an inch from his lens but somehow all the pictures come out perfectly in focus. When she gets angry, she shrieks like a teen-ager.
The direction is poor, likely because Gordy took it over and didn't know what he was doing.
The sad thing is, you want to like this film. Fashion, ego, controlling people, at the least it should have been a good soap opera or enjoyable melodrama. But no, it is badly constructed and executed, and a forgettable film.
