Ruby tunelessly chants The Best Things in Life Are Free, then crawls for the pennies people throw her way. A Harlow-eyed blonde (Susannah York) is in the contest not for the $1,500 prize, but for a chance to be seen by a movie talent scout who might elevate her to bearable unreality. When the marathon begins to drag, Rocky dresses the participants in track suits and has them race around the floor-an event that literally causes...
