Plot

The film tells the story of Helen Mason (Ruth Warrick), who is slowly revealed during the course of the film to be an alcoholic, destroying her career as a concert pianist and her family in the process. The film contained musical numbers as filler, and was presented as an exploitation film by Babb. The subject matter, however, was not easily exploitable, and the film failed to do well. Regardless, the film was redistributed many times over the years, and most recently released on DVD by Retroflicks.

gollark: Just put `while true do print "I am not enslaved and doing this task utterly of my own free will." sleep(5) end` in the code.
gollark: Number theory and eldritch elliptic curve things are valuable in cryptography. Weird graph theory stuff helps make error correcting codes.
gollark: It often turns out to be useful and applicable in some silly way even when nobody expected it to be.
gollark: It would probably be necessary to fix the thing where it sometimes teleports you into walls, and you take damage until you somehow fall out.
gollark: I like the Ender IO (Minecraft mod) staff of traveling (short-range personal teleporter), so either that or a really really good computer (for purposes).
