★★★★★ · Steve Cock-See-how-they ran! · The Spanman · 2022-11-13
Old Stevie wielded about a 10 inch pipe it’s said! The girls ran from him and the Hollyboys lined up for some punishment! Ida Lupenis just wanted to claim her director’s chair. Hollywierdos are just that! Once you cut through their lines, they bleed like the rest of us. Great movie. Good acting! Too bad about Steve dying on some boat off Guatemala with 3 scantly clothed young native girls aboard. Lung infection? You mean a gunshot wound don’t you Doc?
★★★★★ · Pretty decent! · Colorado Strong435 · 2025-07-10
We have Ida Lupino as some fill-in eye candy while the scene unfolds. A good ending awaits you. All of that "private hell" for some worthless fiat paper called money.
