“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds."

The Lonely Lady (1983)
How bad is it? It's based on a Harold Robbins novel and stars Pia Zadora.

I wrote a review of "Butterfly" and then deleted it, but I may have to rewrite one, now that I'm reviewing Pia Zadora films. Pia wasn't classically pretty, she couldn't act (though her husband allegedly bought her a Golden Globe) and couldn't sing (though she was nominated for a Grammy), but she couldn't be stopped, either. In this film, she manages to discuss Pushkin while jogging, she gets raped by a garden hose, has an abortion, becomes a waitress, takes drugs, has sex on a pool table (actually, writhes naked as pool is played about her), showers with her clothes on, gets institutionalized, writes the script of the movie you're watching while in the loony bin and wins an Academy Award (called by another name for legal reasons) for her writing. She doesn't manage to act, however.
