This one-note paean to sleaze I suppose was meant to take the new TV hit "Miami Vice" and filter it through a grungy world associated with 42nd Street of the era. Director Henri Pachard wallows in it with rather weak results -it seems phony beginning to end.
Paul Thomas lords it over this world in a hammy performance, and Pachard even enlists the famous cameraman Ralph Parfait (still busy at his craft four decades later) as a crummy pimp with beautiful Danielle as his moneymaker.
The debauchery presented is par for the course, but fans get to see an incest scene when Paul offers Gloria Leonard $1,000 to f*ck her own daughter Stacy Donovan so that he can watch. There's also a catfight and what would Gotham sleaze be without George Payne and West Coaster Joey Silvera. Pachard pops up as PT's bartender.
