This comedy is a vehicle for The Divine Miss M, Bette Midler. It was made after her first Academy Award nomination as Best Actress for "The Rose" and before the first (Down and Out in Beverly Hills) of several films she would star for Disney. One can see her great talent as a comedic actress and the song she recorded for this movie is fun.
It was director Don Siegel's last production and it's making is a whole new story: he had a heart attach during production, was replaced by Sam Packinpah who would die prior to him... |
