copies to build bigger displays." Target responded,

Tell Laura I Love Her (1997)
Dile a Laura que la quiero is a Spanish Romantic comedy which uses the old
1960 hit for theme music, but has nothing whatsoever to do with the story in
the song.
This Laura's husband is head of an independent record company trying to
become a huge conglomerate. His ambition has placed his company in serious
financial jeopardy, but his problems really start when he decides to bang his
secretary Estella (Jessica Schlutz) and Laura catches them at it. Laura
splits, moves in with her friend (Patricia Perez), and decides to give up
commercial photography in favor of fine art, with the encouragement of a
friend who owns a gallery. Meanwhile, a wannabe songwriter meets her and
writes a brilliant new song dedicated to her, which her repentant husband
wants to publish.
Yawn.
All in all, not a very exciting plot line. There are humorous moments,
especially mistreatment of a neighbor's small dog, but the photography is not
especially good at all, and the story is trite.
Low C-. Barely watchable, if that.
IMDb readers say 4.8, but based on only 33 votes.

Today we wrap up our tour of Women in Cages.
It seems that today Pam Grier gets pay back for all the torment she caused as
she herself winds up as the "Babe in Bondage" when she gets tied to a tree and
whipped. Then a bunch of goons drown her. Some brief breast exposure in
the caps below and this zipped .wmv film clip.

Penelope Ann Miller in Carlito's Way |

As I am in the midst of this "strippers" series, I made a new collage
of Penelope Ann Miller. Two versions: the pink one is the film's lighting;
the one with more natural fleshtones is my modified file.
