646f9e108c Bobbie Warren is an up and coming Las Vegas nightclub singer with ties to the mob which land her in jail until she agrees to testify. After some harrowing experiences in the clink, she buys her way out by saying she'll squeal and is remanded into the custody of cops Clint Morgan and O.W. Thurston. They keep her in a casino hotel while she waits to see the D.A. Ostensibly a comedy/thriller, the plot mostly revolves around Bobbie falling in love with Clint while still holding out some hope of escaping the cops' clutches and returning to her boyfriends' arms. Too bad he's already plotting to have her rubbed out. Gangster's girlfriend hangs out in a Las Vegas hotel with her cop protectors while she waits to testify. Most of this was filmed in the Riviera which was owned by Zadora's husband at the time. The script really doesn't develop much of a story about the gangster our night club singer is in love with. She is being held under protective custody at the Riviera Hotel in Las Vegas when she agrees to testify against him after being gang raped in prison. Some plot lines defy logic, i.e. the snipers are always aiming rifles at her hotel room window. Doesn't she ever close the drapes? I rarely ever leave my curtains open in a room. Some scenes pad out too long like where she's playing poker and tells her opponent all her strategy each time she draws a card. The car chase scene is hilarious also, but why would a girl be an expert shot leaning halfway out a car window? The real villain was one of the good guys, but he remained unpunished for trying to rub his own witness out. "Fake Out" ora DVD release, "Nevada Heat", really is a frustrating film. First, Pia Zadora is her usual cutea button, perky self, and Telly Savalas is his usual sarcastic self. These two play off each other throughout the movie, but the film really goes nowhere. Sure there is a steamy nude shower scene, and Pia takes a bubble bath, but the simplistic story of a mobster's girlfriend's allegiance or lack thereof comes across more like a series of skits showcasing the Riviera Hotel. One interminable scene at a blackjack table plays like an instructional gambling primer. Attempts at humor mostly fall flat, and the cartoon-like car chases in and around the hotel only further weaken an already weak film. - MERK
