“This film is really a load of tosh and a waste of Joan Collinsu0026#39; considerable acting talents – BUT – if you grew up in the 1970s you will have a certain nostalgic affection for it. I remember very well the iconic nightclub u0026quot;Regineu0026#39;su0026quot; on which Fontaine Khaledu0026#39;s disco was based – even with the same squared dance-floor – and the fashions with lots of bright colours, flashy jewellery and designers such as Yuki.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe dialogue is absolutely appalling and the delivery by most of the actors stilted to say the least.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIf you u0026quot;suspend disbeliefu0026quot; and take this film for what it is; a piece of nostalgic, escapist fluff; then you are in for quite an enjoyable way of passing an evening – AND youu0026#39;ll enjoy all the 70s disco music!”
