I'll give Faye Dunaway credit for her subtlety as the neurotic fashion model in therapy because she can't handle being so drop dead gorgeous that it either keeps the men away or has them trying to become too close. She's the type who will ask an admirer to approach her in a bar as if they've never met, make a pass, then react damaged after making love because she doesn't believe it is real love. Her neurosis is rather pretentious, but I guess you'd have to be in the high heels of someone like her to understand.
Surprisingly this was not the bad movie I'd expected it to be, and Faye delves into this young woman's disorders obviously having studied it, well deserving of her Golden Globe nomination. Coming off this and a juicy supporting role in "Little Big Man", Faye was proving that she wasn't just a flash in the pan even though she had a few loo loo's just before this. She has a great fantasy life on screen as well, living in her mind as if she was a 1930's movie heroine. (No, not J. C.) Very dated but fascinating, an unimaginable without Faye in it.
