Top Girl
Must be said, the idea is not totally bad. Yes, is very old, but the
concept of sex and compromises in the world of entertainment is an
interesting theme, especially if the great Joe D’Amato is the
director. Unfortunately we are in the nineties and the beloved Aristide
is no longer the one of best times and even genre cinema is not at its
best.
So his "Top Girl" is one of those third-night films on poor tv
channels, full of annoying music and whose greatest expense is
undoubtedly the shots in Los Angeles. A plot of a deadly boredom and,
needless to say, a bad acting.
Between overlays, flash backs and still the terrifying background music
we see this story of dramatic compromises. The success that ruins the
life of a naive (so to speak) aspiring actress.
Mike (played by the Italian Robert Madison, then moved on to the TV
series) is a kind of show runner of the soap opera "La voce el cuore",
broadcast on Canale 7. A series who is suffering from a sharp drop in
audience and the production wants a change, a new face. And the
computer provides the identikit of Patricia (the Aosta Carla Solaro)
who has long dreamed of breaking into the world of entertainment.
Patricia thus becomes the protagonist of this soap opera, which we
never see, and above all ends up at the center of shady games of power
and audience. Everyone takes advantage of her. Mike falls in love early
(and they have sex), the network director deceives her, takes her to
bed and promises her everything and more. And finally there is
Patricia's useless boyfriend, Rick, who is seen at the beginning and a
little at the end.
An embarrassing erotic intrigue with the usual under plot of jealousy
and power. Carla Solaro undresses often (and unwillingly) but, sex and
power is another thing
