16 year old Lynn (Barbi Benton) is your typical small town good girl,
always prim and proper, and even though she's in highschool, she already
knows she will one day marry Ronnie (Mark De Vries), her slightly boring
but good-natured highschool sweetheart, who wouldn't dream of touching her
because it's not the right thing to do. Then though, Lynn meets Nick
(Clade Ventura), the typical bad boy, who fucks her on his speeding
motorbike on their first date, and suddenly everything changes ... and
they shag, shag and shag - until she gets pregnant. She wants to marry
him, but he'll have nothing of the sort, and doesn't want a kid, either ...
so she runs away to avoid scandal, and starts as a waitress somewhere in
the Catskills - where everybody wants to fuck her. Not too bad until a
state trooper wants to take her back to her family, but she shags him to
make a getaway to Philadelphia. In Philly, Lynn loses her baby but finds
what she considers true love - love that remains unrequited. So
eventually she finds herself on a bus to Boston with "the
admiral" (Lionel Stander), a man thrice her age ... who is the first
guy she allows to fuck her for money - right on the bus. In Boston, it
doesn't take Lynn long to become a partner at a record company ... it just
takes her a little longer that her part of the deal is being the house
prostitute supposed to seduce DJ Bob Green (Jeff Cooper). It's ok for her
because she loves the company's boss Frank (Roman Murray) though ... until
he throws her out. Miami Beach: Lynn is 18 by now, and she takes
advantage of being confused for Miss Luxembourg - and in Sam (Klaus
Kinski), she has found herself a pimp in no time who rents her out to rich
businessmen for money. She doesn't mind to sell herself, but then a Texas
millionair (Broderick Crawford) finds out about the Miss Luxembourg-scam - and Sam and Lynn
have to make an escape to Europe, where he tries to establish her as the
girlfriend of Hugh Hefner (ironically Barbi Benton's real-life boyfriend
at the time) - a ruse that soon pays off as she finds herself starring in
movies soon enough ... sex pictures of course. Eventually though she finds
out that everyone is just taking advantage of her, and she quits
everything - and finds true love in her director Gino (Hampton Fancher) in
return. He's supposed to be a rich heir, but once they're married Lynn
finds out Gino has been disinherited, and he loses the little he has saved
at the gambling tables of Monte Carlo - leaving her no choice other than
become a prostitute once more - high class prostitute at least. A
film that tries its best to be as sleazy as possible, plotwise - after all
it's about an innocent girl becoming a prostitute without making any
excuses about it -, but then fails to deliver in terms of nudity and sex.
Now I'm not saying a film, even of this kind, absolutely needs to have
nudity (though it doesn't hurt either), but the movie totally fails to make up for its lack in any other
department: The direction is flat, the characters are one-dimensional at
best, and the story totally lacks any buildup or at least dramatic
tension, and most of the time is undecided whether it wants to go the
comedy or the drama route. And actingwise, only Klaus Kinski manages to
bring any colour to the table. Sure, Barbi Benton is at least pretty, and
the 1960s/70's outfits presented in the film do have their charm, but that's
hardly enough to really like the film, now is it?
