REVIEWS & SUMMARIES
Author NotesCOMMUNITY REVIEWS
from 1960, with good color. Taylor at 28.

Taylor plays a glamorous slut and potential homewrecker (multiple homes).
The summary calls her a call girl. That is 100% inaccurate. See the movie and you will agree. In fact she is offended where one of her one night stands leaves her $250 ($3000+ in today;s $), but he only wanted to compensate her for her torn dress.
Interesting overall.
