Trash, from a book by John O'Hara, of the kind that was
popular in the late '50's and early 60's, (this one dates from 1965).
The underused and usually reliable Suzanne Pleshette was the tramp, (aka
nymphomaniac) who goes from man to man the way some folks go from store
to store when on a shopping spree. The shopping spree Suzanne is on is
to find a man who will satisfy her and some of those whose lives she
ruins include Bradford Dillman, (she marries him;
how
low can you get!); Ben Gazzara, (he hits the bottle and any woman who
comes within arm's reach) and Peter Graves, before he learned to fly and
started watching gladiator pictures. It's certainly watchable as long
as you have low expectations though Walter Grauman's direction is
perhaps a little pedestrian. Still the awful dialogue and the bad
acting are to die for and it is something of a camp delight.
