Starring: Bette Midler Ken Wahl Rip Torn Val Avery Jack Elam Benson Fong " America's favorite tootsie on a roll! So deal yourself in for a hilarious romp through Reno, Vegas, and Tahoe! It's Bette at her very best in a movie made of comedy, romance, and adventure, "bubbling with wit and merriment!" (The Village Voice) Bette stars as Bonita, a brassy casino lounge singer who lives in a trailer with a semi-professional gambler named Harold (Rip Torn). Harold's dreams of striking it rich seem about to come true - he's got a jinx on a sexy black-jack dealer (Ken Wahl). But the gambler's luck changes when Bonita and the dealer get together and play a few cards of their own! All aglitter in fringe and rhinestones, Bette sings "Cowgirl's Dream," and does a funny musical salute to the 50's - including her first on-screen dance steps ever! "Fine supporting performances are given by Rip Torn, who is truly comic as the nasty Harold" (The New York Times), and Ken Wahl, who projects mucho macho appeal! And there's a very lucky black cat called Angus! Director Don Siegel and his Academy Award-winning cinematographer, Vilmos Zsigmond, captured the excitement of the casinos on location in Reno and Tahoe. See for yourself - it's the sunniest, funniest, winningest movie in town! " Used videodisc.
