Cleo wasn't a great actress but she had a certain something and here is quite appealing as a girl who makes a lot of wrong decisions but in her odd way is a straight shooter.

The Hustler Unrated

Excellent performances from all four stars, still its a grim story.

The Trip R

A captivating small film dealing with the relationship of two gay men over many years and the surrounding upheaval of the gay movement. Many wonderful supporting performances contribute to the overall goodwill of the film. Sirena Irwin is a sketch as Beverly the trend jumping greek chorus and Jill St. John an absolute scene stealer as Alan's boozy wise mom. The musical score is also loaded with excellent choices which really set the right tone for each scene. It all boils down however to the chemistry and performances of the two lead actors which are strong and makes you really like and root for the characters through their journey.
