Bad plot, wooden acting


I thought the screenplay to be below average or mediocre. The main character, Gillian Casey, is supposed to be highly manipulative. But in order for her to be exposed, she has to encounter some unbelievable bad luck that would not occur in real life. In the movie, all the right people see her doing her dirty deeds by sheer coincidence. Her new boyfriend's elder sister just happens to be in the plush hotel at the same time Gillian is there with her boss. The worst contrived coincidence was the party where the boutique owner - Gillian shoplifted an expensive black blouse there - shows up and the two are nearly immediately brought together. A policeman sees Gillian at the plush hotel and is later able to recall her.

Despite all her efforts, some power of fate or divine justice ensures Gillian doesn't get away with her misdeeds. My experience is that evil people seem to have all the diabolical luck and no one sees them doing anything.

Actress Zima, who plays the evil girlfriend, is pretty enough and has long thin legs but they're so white it's distracting. That's why pantyhose was invented fifty years ago.

The new boyfriend is the splitting image of 1980s actor, David Keith, who was a supporting actor in the Stephen King horror thriller, "Fire Starter", in the mid-80s. He was also a main character in the underrated 1982, "Lords Of Discipline".
