Storyline
At the Doll House, a 1930's New Orleans bordello, Hallie is the main attraction both for clients and for Jo, the madame. Her comfortable if tedious life is disrupted by the arrival in town of Dove Linkhorn, her true love of three years before who is now searching for her. When Linkhorn learns the truth of her profession he triggers a chain of events involving a number of people, including the young Kitty with whom he travelled from Texas and who is now the Doll House newest recruit. Written by Jeremy Perkins {J-26}

Trivia
According to Penny Stallings' 'Flesh and Fantasy', when Barbara Stanwyck first encountered Laurence Harvey on the set lounging in his gold brocade bathrobe and drinking champagne, she walked up to him and said, "All right, Larry, let's go! Get your ass in gear. We've got a picture to make, and I don't have time for prima donnas!" After a moment of silence, this struck Harvey as highly amusing and he burst into laughter. He and Stanwyck immediately became friends. See more »Goofs
The jukebox in Teresina's diner is a Wurlitzer model 1015. The 1015 was a post-war model produced from 1946 through 1947 and would not have been seen in the Depression. See more »Crazy Credits

Enjoy a night in with these popular movies available to stream now with Prime Video.
It's obvious that none of the other reviewers has read the book on which this disasters is supposedly based.
I've read the book, it's one of my favorites. This movie is very disloyal to the book and it's a big disappointment. No wonder Nelson Algren didn't even want to attend the premiere.
The only things about this movie that are true to the book are the characters' names (except Jo, who's not even in the book) and some of that plot elements.
Someone mentioned the absurdity of Dove being referred to as a boy and Kitty being referred to as a minor in the film.
That's because in the book, Dove is 17 and Kitty is 16. Hallie is biracial. Oliver is not disabled, but there is a disabled character in the book.
Teresina is perhaps the only character that's closest to the book. But the plot elements that surround the character in the film are slightly different than the book.
What I'm trying to say is that, if you're going to base a movie on a book, at least maintain most of the basic elements. Don't change the story, add new characters or combine existing ones.
This movie is a hack job and I would love to see a version that's true to the book. That would be a much better movie, one worth seeing.
