Bosley Crowther New York Times [A] ridiculously maudlin film. Nov 19, 2018 Full Review Liz Smith Cosmopolitan A pretty thin movie. Feb 1, 2020 Full Review Tony Mastroianni Cleveland Press [Polly Adler's book was] an interesting and unpretentious study of an era and its seamy side from a unique view point. No such claims can be made for this movie version of a madam's memoirs. Nov 19, 2018 Full Review TV Guide Staff TV Guide Poorly and unimaginatively adapted from the autobiography of Polly Adler. Rated: 1.5/5 Nov 19, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews
