Dinah East (1970)


Emerson Films, Inc.
Directed by Gene Nash
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, VCI Entertainment)

A young man in Hollywood dresses as a woman to get a part in a picture. He retains his identity as a woman and becomes a star, but only a handful of people know his true identity. In a series of flashbacks, he tells the story of his relationships with other Hollywood stars, his son and his one true love a boxer. Interesting premise is undercut by low budget, episodic plot and especially the amateurish acting. At its best when exposing the hypocrisy of Hollywood, but those moments are few and far between in a film that seems more interested in sordid nudity and sex.
