    A serious look at great fun.

    The early days of both Gloria Steinham and Kirsty Alley merge nicely in this glossy look at Bunny Life in a Bunny Hutch. Gloria actually did became a Playboy Bunny for a time in order to do an article, Kirsty became Gloria, and both were terrific Bunnies. The story itself is sad and funny and gives the audience a lot to think about. The photography, the sets, and especially the costumes are fabulous. The acting is better than later efforts of the same actors. It raised my consciousness somewhat...I no longer long to wear long ears!

    Pretty good Average TV Movie

    Kirstie Alley does a good job portraying then iconic Gloria Steinem, who worked an undercover journalistic assignment as a Playboy Bunny at the famous New York City club in 1963. What was supposed to be a light, amusing piece turned out to be a serious report about what it was really like (more like an army camp, in my opinion, with all the rules, regulations and orders, not to mention a ridiculous bunch of demerits for just about anything), far from the glamorous fun it was thought to be.

    The stories of the women who work there become entangled with Gloria's own life, which I'm sure was a bit exaggerated for the movie, as journalists never get that involved when on assignment. Still, it does give you a lot to think about.

    There were other familiar TV faces (like Deborah von Valkenberg and Delta Burke) and enough to keep you interested, but no more or less than most TV movies.

    How would we do a role-reversal here?

    I like the way Springer-4 says "I no longer long to wear long ears!" Kirstie Alley does a great tribute to Gloria Steinem. I don't see it as "wrong" in a general sense, but it would be nice to see a little "role-reversal" once in a while. Dress up young men with a white shirt and tie for the top, but swim trunks or exercise shorts for the bottom, and have them be "objectified" in a "ladies club." I suppose they have something like this already for women to harass boys, but not enough to give balance to the way it's usually done.

    at her pinnacle

    this movie is for anyone who has ever had a crush on Kristie alley. In my opinion this is the hottest she has looked in any of her movies and i have probably seen 90% of hers. You get to see Kristie alley running around in a bunny outfit with tons of cleavage as all the other bunnies as well.As for the movie itself? Its OK nothing special its your typical 80's movie where alley goes undercover at a playboy club and realizes the hardship of a bunny's life LoL but they seem to play it on the WE channel on cable at least 3 times a week so if you want to see it look there. It's kinda weird too to see a young and somewhat hot delta Burke Wow i never knew she was ever that skinny.
