[Bill Haesler]

Dear Peter,
The following is from the Internet Movie Database:

'Walk On The Wild Side'  1962
At the Doll House, a 1930's New Orleans bordello, Hallie is the main
attraction both for clients and for Jo, the madame. Her comfortable if
tedious life is disrupted by the arrival in town of Dove Linkhorn, her true
love of three years before who is now searching for her. When Linkhorn
learns the truth of her profession he triggers a chain of events involving a
number of people, including the young Kitty with whom he travelled from
Texas and who is now the Doll House newest recruit.

Laurence Harvey -  Dove Linkhorn
Capucine -  Hallie Gerard
Jane Fonda - Kitty Twist
Anne Baxter - Teresina Vidaverri
Barbara Stanwyck - Jo Courtney
Joanna Cook Moore - Miss Precious (as Joanna Moore)

The following is from 'Jazz In The Movies' (David Meeker. Talisman Bookd
1981)
Adapted from 1956 novel by Nelson Algren.
Musical score by Elmer Bernstein; orchestrations by Leo Shuken, Jack Haynes;
songs by Mack Davis, sung by Brook Denton. Horn solos on soundtrack by Jack
Dumont.

Very kind regards,
Bill.
