Worthwhile effort, especially from Lesley Ann Warren.......2005-04-13

An interesting melodrama, this production features Lesley Ann Warren, Rita Moreno and Dianne Kay as three dancers of differing skill levels who are hired for a new revue in Las Vegas at Caesar's Palace, where the picture is set, and focusses upon various travails within their private lives as they prepare for the opening of their show, with the eponymous Warren's character deservedly garnering the most screen time. As a Broadway dancer recruited for the engagement, Warren plays high-stepping Jillian Brooks, whose need for success upon the stage is altered by her affairs of the heart, while Moreno portrays a veteran hoofer whose husband (Tony Curtis) is a sucker for entrepreneurial scam artists, and Kay is an inexperienced beauty queen from the Midwest. The film could easily have been much less engaging, as clichéd situations abound, but the episodic script is effectively utilized and includes a good deal of skillful dialogue, there is splendid editing by John Woodcock, and a strongly appropriate thematic underscore is provided by Jimmie Haskell, while the performance of the talented and generally underprized Warren goes beyond the expected implications stemming from her comeliness.

PORTRAIT OF A SHOWGIRL is the made-for-TV movie genre at it's trashy-best. Musical theatre veterans Lesley Ann Warren and Rita Moreno shine as two hard-boiled hoofers looking to make the 'Big Time' in Las Vegas.

If you're a fan of Lesley Ann and Rita, you'll adore this film. The picture quality is quite lousy, but just having this campy gem on DVD is a miracle in itself.

Not the girls' finest hour, but worth a look nontheless.

Horrible bad girl movies.......2002-06-23

DVD quality this is not. This is some of the worst video and worst sound I have ever experienced in a DVD. These movies look like old 70s TV shows. I would not be surprised if someone actually recorded these movies on their VCR off of TV, then transferred them to DVD. All three movies are low budget, mostly bad acting, and horrible story lines.

The first movie, "Hustling", is about a reporter that befriends a prostitute. She travels around with the prostitute to learn about her experiences. The movie failed miserably to show how the life of a prostitute really is. The second movie, "Little Ladies of the Night", is about a runaway girl who turns to prostitution and tries to get help from the police. The last movie, "Portrait of a Showgirl", is about a Vegas Showgirl who tries to make it big.
