I know this is a 'lost movie' and not easily found, but despite its exploitation roots it is about a million times more interesting than anything new out there. It is entertaining, gritty, filmed in a 'noir' style and features an 'abortion' sequence that is horrifying and insanely funny at the same time. Any fans of Harlan Ellison's Rockabilly/Spider Kiss out there? This is a very similar story and I suspect built on the same careers and rumors that holllywood insiders would have known at the time.

The acting is good for a b flick, I came to see it because of the Arch Hall film this team made before this. The cinematography is well done, and there are some repeats of motifs in shots and lighting such as fractured mirror images and swinging/staccato light that reflect the brokenness of the character(s).

Too cool for school and ahead of it's time.
