A lonely German woman (Marianne Sägebrecht) ends up in the most desolate motel on Earth and decides to make it brighter.
Whether or not this is a good film is really hard for me to say. I suppose it is, but really it is more of an oddity than anything else. A German film that takes place in America where Germans (who speak poor English) are tourists? Okay. That is different.
Those who want to see a young CCH Pounder in action will appreciate this film, but it is Jack Palance that steals the show. He seems just as out of place as the Germans, and watching him interact with everyone seems so strange. Pounder claims that Palance had to act off-camera in the romantic scenes because he found Sagebrecht unattractive. I can believe it, because everything Palance does seems so distant.
