Where to Watch

A sweet corn-fed girl leaves her peaceful Midwestern home town to find fame in Tinsel Town in this exploitation drama. The gal is determined to make it as a movie star and so immediately follows a freewheeling director into his sordid fast-lane life, doing his bidding without question. She soon finds herself exploited and degraded from all corners, but most especially by the cheesy director who swears that he loves her. Sick of all the rot beneath the town's glittering exterior, the girl finally decides to return to her quiet life back home.

Exploitation film starring Michaels as the proverbial girl from the Midwest who travels to Hollywood to become a movie star. There she meets swinging film director Fist and she does what it takes to become a star. Eventually, Michaels gets fed up with the abuse Hollywood and Fist heap on her and she boards the next bus back home with Fist running alongside professing his love. Ambition and disillusionment at a low level, indeed. Songs include: "Archie's Theme" (Jeff Barry), "Gettin' in My Way Again" (Frank Carillo), "Baby's Wearing Blue," "Farewell, Sweet Papa," "Groovy Feelin'," "Oh, No, Not Again," "Once Before" (Mario Castellanos), "I'm Working So Hard."
