Staggering out of Strapless, female viewers may well regret that they hadn’t opted to save their money for Rambo III.

The relationship between Raymond and Lillian... must be an enigma in order to work at all.

Rated: 3/4

It is a warmed-up Summertime, with Miss Brown as Miss Hepburn and a Mr. Ganz as Mr. Brazzi, except that it has no pathos.

The strapless gown is but another of David's Hare-brained metaphors for the lives of women.

Indeed, the film's inadequacy lies in its failure to interweave its different themes.
