The Client List ***1/2 The Economy Made Her Do It

Look out Eliot Spitzer and all other future guys.

A loving couple with 3 children find themselves dead broke, and in desperation she applies for a position at a massage parlor only to learn that it's a place for prostitution. Reluctantly, how housewife falls in and makes plenty of money until the police raid the joint, based on a tip from a former young lady who worked there, and came from a religious Christian family.

Scandal results in the town as a list of 69 men engaging in sex is made public. Some real prominent men are on the list.

Naturally, our housewife, who also took up coke while working, is adversely affected by all this. Her husband leaves her with the 3 children and her mother, a frumpy Cybil Sheppard, tells her that her dead dad once visited a prostitute.

There is some humor in this picture. The women of the men visit our prostitute after her 30 day jail sentence ends and they ask her how they can best stimulate their husbands.

The story is appropriate, unfortunately, to our times as it shows the breakdown of human decency in society.
