Production


A film adaptation of Collins' novel was announced to capitalize on the successes of The Stud (1978) and The Bitch (1979), two of Collins' other novels adapted for the screen. The film is set in the late 1970s, as opposed to the novel's 1960s setting.
According to Collins' website, "the glamorous but seedy world of entertainment provides the setting for Jackie Collins' explosive expose' of sexual double standards and naked ambition."
It marked the first time in several years that Anthony Steel had been seen in a widely distributed film in English speaking countries.




Soundtrack


Due to its setting, the film's soundtrack, released as a double album by Ronco Records, made extensive use of disco music, including Maxine Nightingale's "Right Back Where We Started From", and even featured an appearance by famed dance troupe Hot Gossip. Welsh singer Bonnie Tyler had a UK Top 40 hit with the title track to the film, and also appeared in the film, performing the song during the opening credits.




Release and reception


The film premiered in London on 30 May 1979 before opening a week later. It wouldn't see a North American theatrical release until March 1980.
Variety called it "sexploitation melodrama which, cunningly, will titillate both sexes." Franciosa "brings a mercifully light touch", Nicholas was "uncharismatic", and Hale was "effective as a laconic wife".
