Christine Adams (Jacqueline Bisset) hitchhikes from Canada to L. A. to be with her boyfriend. Comedian Danny Raymond drives her on a detour to Vegas. By the time she gets to L. A., her boyfriend is more interested in getting a promotion than having a family with her. She decides to leave him for Danny. She becomes a showgirl. She marries ex-football player Tommy Marcott (Jim Brown).
The story meanders around and hits some big points. There are some turns that I don't like and I would like other turns that aren't there. After the shooting, I want her to get revenge against Dekker. The movie could have made a dramatic turn there. I'm fine with the final turn but it's more humorous than high intensity. In the end, it's a character study of Christine. She's a woman of the 70's trying to find her path. She keeps looking and changing but can't stay settled. At times, she's aimless. At other times, she has plans but that never lasts long. I get the theme and her progression. I really want to settle the score with Dekker.
