Instant classic to watch again and again

It just doesn't get any better than this. Teen high schooler doubling as street prostitute. But wait, all is not well, there's a hooker killer on the loose! This has a great cast, a great script, is exciting from beginning to end, and packs in the laughs for the most part. Donna Wilkes is totally convincing, you really feel her character's motivation to do well at school to forward herself, yet her desperate need to support herself through tricking while living out the fantasy that the parents who abandoned her will return to save her. This movie is not cliqued at all. Her doomed friends are sweet and a hoot. Dick Shawn outdoes himself once again as drag queen prostitute/protector of Angel in what is clearly his best role. Rory Calhoun proves himself once again a top-notch comedian. Cliff Gorman and Susan Tyrell are right on. This film could not have been better cast. Unfortunately, Angel must come to grips with her lifestyle and comes out the better for it, though most of her loyal friends bite the dust. Ironically, Angel doesn't turn a single trick throughout the movie. Nonetheless, this doesn't take away from the gritty reality that the movie shoots for and does, indeed, hit. I highly recommend this classic for your permanent collection! A sampling of some classic lines: (1) "Wayne, my mother thinks I'm too young to date." (2) "You better be 14, baby, or I'll throw you back for being too old." (3) "Salt and pepper." (4) "You know what happens to used up prostitutes? They don't go to Leisure World, baby, they end up on hard drugs or booze and spend half their time in the joint!" (5) "Molly, there's more to life than getting straight A's." (6) "I don't know whose mother you are, but you are defintely not Molly's." (7) "I think I see our downpayment, I'll catch up with you later." (8) "Thanks for the ride, OFFICER!" (9) "I've slept with hundreds of men." (10) "I don't 'gotta' do anything."

(11) "Why do you think they call me Razzle 'Dazzle'?"
