Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Joey, an unemployed ex-child actor, uses sex to get his landlady, Lydia, to reduce his rent, and then tries to exert his influence on Sally, who is now washed-up and wasn't even more than slightly important at the height of her career. She tries to help him, until he realizes that she just isn't well-connected enough to be of any service to him. The affair is complicated by Sally's psychotic, maybe-lesbian-or-maybe-not daughter Jessica, who tries to muscle in on her mother's relationship with Joey.

| Trivia | The title song, "Days of Steam," was written and performed by John Cale, a founding member of the group The Velvet Underground. The song is taken from Cale's album The Academy in Peril (1972, Reprise). Andy Warhol agreed to do the cover art for the album in exchange for the use of "Days of Steam" in the film. See more » |

| Quotes |
Sally:
...And you're NOT a lesbian. I mean, everybody has girlfriends. Men have friends, women have friends. That doesn't make you a lesbian. Do you sleep in the same room with her? Jessica: Sure. How else can I be a lesbian? Sally: Where does Mark sleep? Jessica: With us. Sally: In the same bed? Jessica: In the same bed. Sally: Is that a way to bring up a boy? He'll be a lesbian! See more » |
