Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Leonard Kirtman used at least six pseudonyms across his career; this is one of the few films he actually claimed. Seka later called it 'the one where I almost learned to act.'
Shot during NYC's 1977-1982 fiscal crisis, the film accidentally documents a Manhattan where middle-class collapse and sex work overlapped for countless women—the 'job interviews' weren't entirely fictional for 1980 audiences.
