Walking the Halls- Walk on the Wild Side ****

Warning: Spoilers
Terrific Lifetime film dealing with a girl, a straight A student, who is drawn into the seedy side of life when she breaks up with her boyfriend and then discovers that her parents are divorcing after 19 years of marriage.

The fast money, the lure into a world of degradation has led her high school friends into this and she is also drawn in. The film shows that even when she at first disavows this kind of life, her home environment drives her to it.

What is more horrible is that a police officer is running this so called escort service. He refers to himself as a manager rather than a pimp. Don't play with the guy. He knows the system and he knows how to get rough. The guy playing this nasty role looks like a younger version of the guy who played Perry Mason's assistant in the later years of that wonderful show. I wonder if that is his father.

An excellent film, entertaining and appropriate for today's world.
