CGiii Comment

An interesting mixture of bio-pic and soft-core porn. The presence of Jolie alone makes this an interesting film.

It's harsh and unrelenting. According to this, Gia was such a pain in the arse that it is hard to have any empathy for her.

It should have been much, much better. But...it was made for TV!!!

The(ir) Blurb...

When Gia Carangi first arrives in New York City, she's a beautiful drop-out from Philadelphia brashly bursting through the closed doors of top modeling agent Wilhelmina Cooper. Gia's electrifying personality and potent sexuality soon find their way onto the covers of America's top-selling magazines. But being loved by the world isn't the same as being love by one - an unfulfilled desire that can take Gia dangerous places. And for a beautiful woman, one slip could lead to an untimely and terrifying downfall.
