***SPOILERS*** Interesting movie about madness and murder that took some two years to be released here in the USA because of the graphic, which was trimmed down, violence in it.
Gamine, Adrienne Barrett, has been suffering guilt feeling since both her parents Mom & Pop, Lucille Rowland & Ben Roseman, died tragically when she was a little girl. Mom was murdered by pop when she refused to have sex with him and in return Pop ended up getting stabbed to death with a stiletto in the back by Gamine in revenge. Now grown all up and psychotic Gamine has a habit of getting herself picked up by strangers in the street who end up getting murdered by her.
One of those pick-up involved an over-sized Orson Wells look-alike called the Rich Man played by Bruno VeSota who takes her out to a number of jazzy night spots to while the night away. It's at the Rich Man's hotel suite that after stuffing his face with a bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken that he tries to make a inappropriate move on Gamine who ends up stabbing him in his gut with her stiletto. Falling down what looks like a 10 story building the Rich Man had grabbed, before her fell,Gamine's pendant that in fact can lead to her arrest! It's then that the film gets a bit surreal with Gamine going down to the street where the Rich Man's body is lying and in front of some dozen witnesses cuts his hand off that's griping, in a death grip, her pendant!
You know something isn't quite right when the cop in charge of the Rich Man's murder investigation turns out to be Gamine's pop whom she killed about a dozen years ago! We all get to see what Gamine did when this guy with a black sock covering his head called the "Evil One", Richard Bannron, comes out of the local cemetery an shows Gamine as well as us in the audience in a flashback of what both she and Pop, in her killing him and him killing his wife, did!
***SPOILERS**** On the run from the police lead by the resurrected from the dead Pop Gamine ends up in this really cool jazz club filled with a bunch of groovy people and featuring the famous band of Stony Rogers and his Giants. It's also at the club that Gamine runs into the Pimp who set her up with the Rich Man whom she later murdered and is now wanted by the police for it! The movie ends in a haze with Gamine back in her shoddy and cheap hotel room feeling that all that happened to her in the movie was just a bad dream. ****SPOILER ALERT*** It's then where Gamine is brought back to reality in finding the Rich Man's severed hand griping her pendant in the top drawl of her clothes cabinet!
