Hi Ho Silver

Silly trash about a girl (Pia Zadora) trying to seduce her father (Stacy Keach) so he will help her steal silver from a mine he guards. A lot of that doesn't make sense. I won't spoil anything but there are some plot twists. Nothing that helps with the making sense part though. Anyway this was a vehicle for the diminutive Pia Zadora to break into Hollywood. At the time she was married to some rich oldster who did for her what John Derrick did for Bo: make bad movies about how hot his young wife is. Hilarious. See it for Pia, who is certainly very attractive but can't act to save her life. Some of the lines she says are real howlers. Lana Turner she is not. Orson Welles also has one of his career low points here as a judge. He appears to be intoxicated in his scenes. Must have read the script.
