A hard blonde (Cleo Moore) from the other side of the tracks claws her way to the top of New York celebrity as a famous and sought after photographer. This tawdry "B" movie is actually a lot of fun even though it has a by the numbers screenplay. The voluptuous Moore comes across as a junior league Mamie Van Doren who went to the Lana Turner school of acting. But she's a quite likable, if unmemorable, presence in her form fitting Jean Louis gowns. Still, movies like this are no help to any one's career and she quit acting after one more movie. It's probably just as well. A very young Richard Crenna, who hadn't yet found his actor's grace, plays the newspaperman who wants Moore to give up her money grubbing ways and settle down to domestic bliss. Directed by Lewis Seiler (
WOMEN'S PRISON). With Jack Albertson, Isobel Elsom, Jeanne Cooper and Raymond Greenleaf as the sympathetic photographer fallen on hard times who sets Moore on her path.
