creepy af
12 year old streetwise Theresa O'Brian (Yasmine Bleeth) is an orphan living in New York desperate to break into entertainment. She encounters drunken former entertainer Sammy Cohen (Buddy Hackett) living in an abandoned theater who promises to make her a star.
The combination of a kiddie stripper and a drunken comic could be a bad sitcom duo or a bad indie. It's a bad indie but it is interesting to see old New York and a young Yasmine. She's often in stripper makeup and the stripping scene is creepy af. Buddy tries to be funny sometimes but it's too creepy to be funny. It's an odd indie that has more to do with the 70's. This is a kiddie pageant with the added griminess of 70's New York. Theresa offering her virginity to Sammy is the last straw. There are some contemporary movies which make the girl a straight up ho. Those have the benefit of realism. This is weirdly unrealistic and grimy sad. This is not acclaimed like Taxi Driver or controversial like Pretty Baby. I wouldn't mind the odd couple's chemistry if it doesn't insert the creepiness.
