 Mayflower Madam (1987) (TV)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
"Mayflower Madam" is a dull, insipid film about Sidney Biddle Barrows who ran a high-class call-girl ring in 1980s New York.
The book by Barrows, on which this movie is based, is far more interesting because it tells the tale of how a well-bred WASP got into the escort service business.
The book is prurient and titillating without being offensive.
