It's so bad that it is good!, 20 August 1999
6/10
Author: Carolyn H Geary (chg424@webtv.net) from United States

One of the campiest films I've ever seen. Bette pulls out all the stops in this one. It's fascinating to watch her performance. The dialogue is outrageous! Everyone is familiar with the line "What a dump." But there is so much more. One of my favorite lines is "I hate porkies they irritate me." It's a must see for those who love camp!!
