Dallas H @FozzieMcFly Dec 26 I'm not sure if the movie is intended to be about the life of a woman living in New York or if it's just meant to serve as a multimedia vessel to showcase a series of orchestral performances. See more 10/22/2014 The story has whiskers, although Marsha Hunt gives it some dignity, but what a great chance to see and heard a wide spectrum of music and musicians of the time. See more 04/10/2013 all shot on location with gr8 music elevates this indy movie fare See more 11/13/2010 Musical mishmash, with high points (the musical interludes) and low points (the plot).
