Why All the Hate?
23 June 2022
To say the film The Lonely Lady is a classic is stretching it. To say the film version of The Lonely Lady is a trash classic is more on the line. I can't see how much hate this movie receives. After all, what were the viewers expecting? The Lonely Lady is a film adaptation of a really trashy Harold Robbins best seller. The viewer wasn't seeing an adaptation of Dickens's novel. Just take the film for what it is. An adaptation of a trashy sexploitation potboiler. The cast knew that and played it as such.

If you want to hate, try the Shout! Factory release which includes a second-generation copy of the network broadcast premiere. The print is almost unwatchable.

So why all the hate? Pia Zadora was interviewed on the Shout Factory presentation, and she took it with a sense of humor. You should too.
