In a dusty, under populated California resort town, naive southern waif Pinky Rose (CARRIE's Sissy Spacek) idolizes and befriends her fellow nurse, the would-be sophisticate Millie Lammoreaux (THE SHINING's Shelley Duvall). When Millie takes Pinky in as her roommate, Pinkys hero worship evolves into something far stranger and more sinister than either could have anticipated. Featuring brilliant performances from Spacek and Duvall, this dreamlike masterpiece from Robert Altman (SHORT CUTS) careens from the humorous to the chilling to the surreal, resulting in one of the most unusual and compelling films of the 1970s.
