...steamy and relentless. When Rose lands by helicopter at her nighttime stadium concerts, it looks like the arrival of the mother ship in Close Encounters (both films were shot by Vilmos Zsigmond). The movie's many drunken barroom brawls, not to mention its gratuitous excursions into the gay demimonde, unfold in gaudy, neon-tinged studio sets.
