I think the story of this 77 Sunset Strip hit a little too close to home for Zsa Zsa Gabor. Otherwise Warner Brothers would have hired the real deal instead of
Kathleen Crowley.
But Crowley is really delightful with her pluperfect imitation of Zsa Zsa. A bit is also borrowed from Sunset Boulevard with Oscar Beregi former director now serving as her butler. But he's got a script for an epic to star madame when they get the financing straight.
The twist is that's Beregi's dream not her's. She's content to be a professional celebrity like Zsa Zsa. But the firm of Bailey&Spencer get involved when some of her expensive jewelry and some indiscreet letters she's kept in wall safe are burgled. The letters, some of them turned over to gossip columnist Lee Patrick.
Three guys who are most interested are former lovers, Ty Hardin, John Gabriel, and Richard Rust.
Roger Smith does solve it all in the end as you knew he would. But Crowley is so good as Zsa Zsa this should be seen for her.
