Ironically just around the corner, that song from "Grease" was about to be introduced when she appeared in this hideous TV movie where he seems to do nothing but bellow throughout, first furious with your parents of Roy Thinnes down in her neck of the woods, the Louisiana swamp lands. This lady from the Bayou is married to a bank robber and Thinnes is searching for him and the loot, ending up reluctantly on the run with Dee who literally follows him after being nasty to him when he arrives, questioning folks in the area where she lives, then becoming romantically interested in him. The dialogue she gets is hideous, and rather than try to make sense of it, she just felt it out as if she was grasping her job on to a Louisiana crab that hadn't even been boiled. After a while, she's unbearable to listen to.
I was impressed with the cast of character actors in the film which included Sorrell Brooke, Madeleine Sherwood, Albert Salmi, Royal Dano and David Brian. Dee has her worst moments with Madlyn Rhue as a bar girl who is also involved with the estranged husband, allegedly married to him as well, and if it comes like something out of a Russ Meyer movie when they are together, Tri-C and as muddy as a Louisiana swamp land. I would write this as a complete bomb, but after a while, there are few moments that made me laugh unintentionally, and considering how bad this stunk, two seemed an appropriate rating.
