    ..no matter what sex.. you pay a price for your allure
    ..it is really not a very good title for what is a pretty good film... when a seriously beautiful and intelligent woman is trapped between relationships with two extremely controlling men, there is nowhere she feels she can go... this is a well acted film, and for all the screen-play productions dealing with similar story lines, this one does it better than most all others... an independent individual wants to feel they are free, but binding themselves to anyone, and they're sure to loose that independence.. life requires compromise, you just do not see it presented in such a direct way as comes about in this film.. and as in real life, there is no automatic clear-cut happy ending..
