Rating:  - Pia Zadora and Harold Robbins; Unintentional comedy on a GRAND scale!
Let no one say that this Harold Robbins show biz potboiler doesn't begin with a bang: On the very day that Valley High student Pia Zadora wins an award as "most promising English major," she parties with fast Beverly Hills High students, one of whom --- weed-smoking Ray Liotta --- fondles her award and proclains its resemblance to a member of the male anatomy, fondles her breast ("Valley girls are anxious to please!"), throws her onto the lawn ("I'm gonna give you something special!"), and rapes ...

Rating:  - Not Happy
This movie was presented to be the same as the movie I wanted, it is not!
Rating: - One of the greatest camp classics ever.
"The Lonely Lady" is that type of terribly misguided attempt at serious drama that ended up being a trashy soap opera.

Rating: - The BEST Bad Movie EVER from Harold Robbins (and Pia!)
This one ranks among the Top 10 Best Bad Movies of All Time in my new book, THE OFFICIAL RAZZIE MOVIE GUIDE (also available from amazon.com). Financed by Pia's billionaire husband Meshulem Riklis, based on Harold Robbins' delectably trashy novel and centered on Zadora's portrayal of a struggling screenwriter who's used and abused by just about everyone in Hollywood, LONELY LADY must be seen to be disbelieived. Featuring a rape-by-garden-hose, a scene where a billiard ball is shot at ... Read More
Rating: - THE CROWD PLEASER
What a bad bad movie THE LONELY LADY is. Yet this Harold Robbins adaptation deserves all the stops. The story centers around a busty blonde played by the legendary (yes, legendary) Pia Zadora, who wants to make it in Hollywood as a screenwriter. Her path to there is a no holds barred, sexually charged, unintentionally funny, so bad it's so good, jaw dropping extravaganza you'll be glad to witness. Zadora literally throws herself in the main title role. One can even glimpse at a talented actress behind ... Read More
