Tramps Running a Whore House, 4 January 2003
8/10
Author: jazzybill from America

I thought the movie was all right I voted an 8 for the movie. I saw it for the first time last year. I am just happy I have this movie in my collection of old classic movies. It is always a treasure to add old classic movies to your collection.
