Worth seeking out.

It was one of the first things showing all the time on HBO when we first got it. I was an obsessive fan of TV's <b>Soap</b> which had been killed off unresolved due to the interference of Rev.

I must also express my appreciation of Nita Talbott, who had one of the most distinctive,seductive voices in movies. I must check out this film!Jasonnoreply@blogger.com
