Party Girl (1958)

Party Girl by Nicholas Ray featured very good performances by Lee J. Cobb, John Ireland, Kent Smith and especially Robert Taylor in the lead.  You will notice these are all men.  I am stupefied by the title.  Cyd Charisse wasn't that big a star, and she is not the protagonist, or even a major factor in the plot, and she only gets two song/dances.

In the spirit of "Party Girl," I submit the following retitles:

Dorothy Boyd
Karen Crowder
The Stripper
Breathless Mahoney
Adrian
Jones
Sue

Rating: 7 out of 10
Recommended instead of: Party Girl (1995)
