Quentin Tarantino gushes about this script. It's a good script, smart... it's a John Sayles script... not amazing. Maybe the full length once was. Pamela Sue Martin is very cute and I'm sure it I'd grown up with her on Nancy Drew the nude scenes would have blown my mind. She is likeable and gorgeous but doesn't quite carry the lead. They offered it to Angie Dickinson who would've been too old... but she really would've nailed it.
Classy cast - Louise Fletcher, Robert Conrad, Chrs Lloyd. Dillinger is in it a very small bit, and there's a whole other section to go. Too cut about to be effective really and only occasionally livens are pure exploitaiton - the final car chase - but as a smart 30s gangster film it's good.
