Review of Mandalay

. . . on the make: never travel with fewer than TWO bottles of fast-acting lethal poison. A bordello chick mostly known as "Spot" takes this truism to heart during MANDALAY, and it really saves her bacon. When her bad former boyfriend (who sold her into harlotry) turns up on her river cruise vessel like a wooden nickel, Spot is put in an awkward position after he ransacks her stateroom, finds her first bottle of poison and drains it to fake a suicide that the authorities could construe as a murder by Spot. Fortunately, when this con artist "suicide and drowning victim" bobs up again to pester Spot, she whips out her SECOND killer concoction and slays him once and for all. You go, girl!
