Featured review
Christina Gregg has been sexually abused by her alcoholic stepfather, but when a customer at the diner tries to rape her, a trucker steps in and gives her a lift to London. Alas, she falls in with evil companions, including pop singer Jess Conrad, whose main job is being a burglar.
It's a compelling movie to watch, but I'm not really sure what it's about. This no-luck character with no judgment isn't the hero in her own story, just the clueless ride-along on others' journeys to self-destruction. With Patrick Magee and Hermione Badderly.
