Pipe Dreams

Gladys Knight moves to Alaska, whither husband Barry Hankerson - her real-life husband at the time - has gone to work on a pipeline. She gets a job as a bartender, and. Is a witness and participant in the difficult life the few women in the area suffer. She and Hankerson want to get back together, but he expects to be forgiven for behavior that would be unforgivable in her.

It's Miss Knight's first movie as an actress, and her performance rarely exceeds adequate. She does sing a couple of songs in the soundtrack for her fans, and there seems to be a nice shot of a mountain that is used a few times. It's a decent little movie, but more for people whose love of Miss Knight's abundant talents will justify anything; me, I think she's a greater singer, but that's the limits of my admiration.
