The movie is bound together—as was the era—by the young, blonde, tan, wealthy children of the Zeitgeist.A fifth storyline, about a literal nightclub vampire, was excised from the film after shooting had already wrapped, an apt illustration of what makes the finished film so (forgive the pun) toothless.
