Barbara Ferris is a fetching house urchin who wears her microskirt so short that the evening seems like a continual panty raid. Her undies scan better than the dialogue, which unravels along such lines as, She: "You only want me for one thing." He: "Yes, but what a lovely thing." If the polish is in Ferris' frame, the spit is in her delivery. She has a snort like a tugboat...
