A female stockbroker has success by using her feminine wiles to get valuable information. She lands in hot water when she has an affair with a reporter who hides a secret.
Directed by Joe D'Amato in his American softcore period, this is a very good melodrama that relies more on romance than in eroticism, what can sound weird given the notoriety of the filmmaker as a master of horror and porn. Actually, the story of this "La Signora Di Wall Street" has everything to catch the attention of a female audience, as it is centered in the life of an independent woman who uses her sex appeal to achieve success in world of business. She is a very intelligent lady for whom men are just a game, until the day she meets the man of her life.
One could accuse the movie of suffering by a soap opera or telefilm feeling, and maybe this is true, but the story is still quite interesting. Part of the merit must be credited to scriptwriter Daniele Stroppa (here hidden under the alias Daniel Davis), who also wrote the excellent "Passion's Flower" (1990) and "A Woman's Secret" (1991), both also directed by D'Amato.
The erotic scenes are not frequent here and they are in tone with the romanticism of the plot, another point that can appeal to a female viewer. With no frontal nudity, the maximum of skin exposed here consists in the breasts of the main actress. Laura Gemser has a cameo as a prostitute, but her clothes are kept on.
As the protagonist, Tara Buckman gives a very good performance, although I don't consider her a very sexy woman (she has a big resemblance with David Bowie). The rest of the cast is ok, and the film keeps a good pacing, reserving some good surprises to its ending. The usual music by Piero Montanari is effective, with some cues adding a melancholic tone. Some themes were also used in previous productions.
