The most under-appreciated film in Spike Lee's filmography, and one of his very best, Girl 6 tells the story of a young woman (Theresa Randle), unhappy by a string of dead-end jobs and her mistreatment as a woman in the acting industry, who becomes a phone sex operator in an effort to make it on her own in New York City. Not only does her newfound job pay the bills, it also becomes a surprisingly empowering as well as addictive experience. Theresa Randle carries the film as the titular Girl 6, effectively providing an emotional focus to a film full of vibrant cinematography and first-rate cameos by Madonna, Quentin Tarantino, Debi Mazar, Naomi Campbell and Spike Lee himself. It is baffling why Girl 6 fared so poorly during its short and quiet 1996 theatrical run. After being unavailable for far, far too long, the film was released on DVD in March 2006, so hopefully it will gain the notoriety is so justly deserves.
