Cleo moore is lila, getting kicked out of town, for hanging around in a bar. She meets up with max (ray greenleaf), who teaches her photography skills. She ends up in new york, where russ (crenna, from the rambo films) helps get her set up with a job. The only actor I recognize is jack albertson, from willie wonka and poseidon adventure. Les (albertson) runs the nightclub where lila works. As she gets rich and successful, her friends notice that she loses her home town girl compassion. Lila acts so greedy, that the one time she does the right, compassionate thing, no-one believes her. And now she's in danger. Can russ and max get her out of a jam before she gets in trouble with the mob? Tcm host eddy muller does a prologue and and epilogue for this film. Apparently, the story is partially based on a real female photographer. Moore died so young at 43, from a heart attack. Directed by lewis seiler. This was one of his last films. He didn't win any oscars, but worked with bogart five times!
