Jack Satin (Hamilton von Watts) is an aging Vegas lounge singer with little talent. Finally, he is given the heave-ho so he decides to take his talents to Atlantic City. However, his car breaks down in the Arizona desert and the nearest town is a little hole in the wall. Being low on money, Jack has to remain in the village until more prosperous times. Fortunately, there is a darling waitress at the restaurant and bar, Lauren (Melissa Joan Hart) and they give each other "the eyes". But, a fellow bartender thinks HE owns Lauren, even though she broke up with him long ago. This barkeep beats Jack up more than once. Jack's only new friend is Doc (Robert Guillaume) who tries to give the singer some needed life counsel. Will Mr. Satin decide its too much trouble to court Lauren and complete his journey to New Jersey? This is one odd fish of a film and not very smooth, either. The script is just different, as quirky as the fictional desert town where the movie is located. The cast is nice, with Hart and Watts giving nice performances. What a pleasure to see Guillaume, he's always welcome! Naturally, the setting is unusual, too, while the direction is also this side of normal, being haphazard and variable. If you are the curious type who loves offbeat cinema, you might seek this one out. But, if you like more conventional offerings, you should probably pass it over.
