The Working Girls

Stephanie Rothman’s independent feature follows three young, single women as they make their way in the Big City here, the tie-dyed Los Angeles of the 1970s, where a spirit of personal liberation and new possibilities is in the air. Honey (Sarah Kennedy) is a farm-fresh newcomer who arrives in the city with no money and no job and finds a job as a paid companion to a lonely millionaire. Denise (Laurie Rose) is an artist who paints billboards for a living and gets involved with a street musician with a dark secret. Jill (Lynne Guthrie) is a law student who takes a job as a cocktail waitress and finds herself involved with a gangland enforcer. (Venice International Film Festival)
