Christina Gregg more intriguing than the showcase

A cinematic dream come true for fans of Christina Gregg, the extremely beautiful British model and actress, in an extremely strange programmer preaching the dangers of running away from home... even when and if home has a stepfather whose intentions aren't so innocent...

He owns a countryside cafe where married customers lust after Gregg's naïve and vulnerable Carol with the nickname RAG DOLL when she was young and awkward...

So she goes out of a lukewarm frying pan into a guarded fire in the big city, finding immediate safety with an old lady sightseer who moonlights as a waitress at a jazz club, and the owner, an older guy so nice he's hardly creepy but should be, wants to save Carol from bad boy singer Jess Conrad...

And right when things get intriguing there's a sudden tragic downturn, similar to the decade-later BADLANDS, only without all that much danger, which there was far too little of here to begin with...

A shame since Christina Gregg, as pitiful and innocently sexy as ever, really does seem -- as the alternate title reads -- YOUNG, WILLING AND EAGER way more than her THE BREAK director Lance Comfort allows to pan out.
