IMDb
(DVD, Olive Films)
Trashy but entertaining story of teenage girl falling in love with middle-aged writer and drunkard. The lovely Deborah Raffin glows as only girls in 70s films can as the confused daughter of aging actor Kirk Douglas. She feels rejected after he marries a wealthy woman and tries to replace him with the manly David Janssen, who has a blast with his role, which predictably does not end well. There is a groovy bachelor pad decked out as a bordello, romantic music by Henry Mancini (and his singers), a lesbian love scene and Brenda Vaccaro with a dirty mouth. Beautifully shot on location by John Alonzo in Europe, NYC and LA.
