Featured review
This film essentially begins with an inept nightclub owner by the name of "Christopher 'Christy' Cristakos" (David J. Stewart) becoming obsessed with an attractive singer working there named "Natalie Cook" (Susan Cook). For her part, although she likes Christy, Natalie has developed a romantic interest with a local businessman named "Stanley" (Brian G. Hutton) who is equally interested in her. Yet, because she feels somewhat indebted to Christy for giving her the opportunity to sing in his nightclub, she cannot seem to adequately convey to him the fact that she simply doesn't feel the same for him. So, Christy continues to lavish her with affection while neglecting his business. And it's because of his inattention to his business that Stanley sees an opportunity to acquire the nightclub in an underhanded way. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this movie started off a little slow but managed to pick up a bit around the halfway point and finished with a nice little twist at the end. Admittedly, it is also quite dated but even so it managed to pass the time fairly well and I have rated it accordingly. Average.
