"high finance and high fashion are not such unlikely bedfellows.", 1 November 2005
5/10
Author: Peter Hayes from United Kingdom

A long and drawn out study about how wealthy men use and coerce women.

There was a night-club owner in Prague who used to say that the reason why there was so many sex shows was because that few people understood Czech "so we better give them something they do understand."

In a lot of Dennis Potters work sex is -- indeed -- they only thing they understand.

This is a very long and drawn out piece with a good number of points to be made -- if you want money you have to either to work for it or put up with those that have it.

Gina Bellman (Blackeyes) doesn't give herself up easily -- but she does give herself up with a series of rationalisations about how she is not prostituting herself. Even though she clearly is.

Sadly this is very very long and besides the point above I gained little by watching it. Dennis Potter has made some original pieces of work, but this is one of the less interesting ones.
