Pat Barrrington stars as suffering housewife Barbara in this tale of big city ennui from roughie specialist William Rotsler, who (as usual) couldn't resist the opportunity to neck on camera with his leading lady. Barbara is married to ever busy hubby Barton, who spends his days at the office and is too pooped to pop at night. In order to fill the void--and the void left by her equally uncaring father--Barbara spends much of her free time as an expensive call girl, satisfying the desires of any man with some ready cash, including a pair of Utah delegates attending a political convention. In between assignations, she bares her soul to her psychiatrist, a balding man in glasses who doesn't seem to be helping her very much. This is one of those nudie roughies where the women get slapped a lot, but keep their panties on (and the men keep their pants on, too). The sex scenes, such as they are, are extremely boring, but the framing device is neatly done and some of the photography of night time Los Angeles is actually quite impressive.
