Short Review

I noticed this movie on websites advertising the poster. You never judge a book by its cover, but I decided to check who was in it. I recognized no one except for the producer, Roger Corman. I love some of his works, B-movie king that he is and with the movie set in a strip club I was more than curious.A violent murder has happened, the victim was a stripper, and this draws a female police officer from the vice squad to solve the murder. She goes undercover and gets the lay of the land, so to speak. Getting acquainted with the dancers, the owner, and finally gets her break in the case. All this while more murders happen, and her partner is giving her orders to back off as well as leads that end up nowhere until the truth is revealed.Basic undercover cop story but without any real acting. Kay Lenz is a fine-looking woman in the movie, but she seems to be too gruff for her good. It was funny seeing Norman Fell from Three's Company in this as the strip club manager. Plus, the revelation at the end, whoa. Not a good movie.
