god its a good movie..Bette made a stunning movie debut..she was on fire..I was touched all over again by this wonderful performance so many great scenes..Harry Dean Stanton telling her shes trash then smashing the guy in the truck with the bottle..the diner scene which echoes that infamous time Diana Ross went to get pizza and faced the racists..you feel how drained she is by the lifestyle..returning to her corner store and the guy not realising shes a singer..the emotinal blackmail from the manager with spookily echoes her own relationship with manager Aaron Russo at the time...her waking up on the plane not knowing where she is and crying to the tragic end..god she should have got the Oscar for that film over Sally Field any day..its a tour de force
