Anyone who thinks the cause of death is more important than who made the footgear has missed the point. With flashbacks, overheated sex scenes and brand names, Gwen Davis announces her arrival in the high-rent district of Judith Krantz and Jackie Collins: "A riveted audience at Elaine's, a heavy-breathing browsing crowd at Rizzoli's."
