Even The Love Song Is Blah
11 May 2020
Martha Vickers comes to the big town to make some money. Swimsuit modeling requires no skill, and she soon becomes a specialist in being the 'other woman', framing husbands in compromising situations for wives who want a divorce. She decides to steal aspiring songwriter John Beal away from his wife, and inspires him to pen a hit love song. She learns to sing and tours with him as his Inspiration: a floozy chanteuse, taking him for as much money as she can get, while his royalties dry up.

it's a cheap, sordid little story, with no real point except that men are dogs and need to chase cars and make messes on the living room rug . The performers take it all seriously and do their best, but there isn't much to it. It's from Eagle-Lion, and looks like the script was pulled out of the PRC vault.
