Lucky Lady
From IMDB: Liza Minnelli plays such a shrewish harpy in "Lucky Lady" that it's easy to see why this film won her no new admirers. Fans of 1972's "Cabaret" were already softened to love Minnelli no matter what, but here director Stanley Donen seems intent on making Liza's character Claire as brittle and abrasive as possible. The bumpy plot, about a trio of rum-runners in the 1930s who fall into an oddly casual three-way love affair, isn't worked out cohesively in terms of the narrative (and the overlapping scenes of caustic comedy and mobster melodrama eventually cause impatience and resentment). At first it's a bit shocking to see Liza in bed between Gene Hackman and Burt Reynolds, however the movie isn't about after-hours fun under-the-sheets; Donen turns the second-half into a violent extravaganza (with a slapstick bent), including boats blowing up, guns going off and dead bodies everywhere. The picture walks a shaky line between nostalgia and bloodshed (with echoes of "Bonnie & Clyde"'s tone), and little of it jells, though the attempt is certainly a curious one. 20th Century Fox wrote the film off as a failure--though people did go to see it--and the studio has yet to release the picture in any format to the home-viewing market
