Talk:A Walk on the Wild Side

Plot summary
IMDb confirms my recollection that
 * Hallie is the main attraction both for clients and for Jo, the madame.

In fact, in my mind the lesbian aspect was the crucial plot turn, and i think he realizes, when he sees them kissing, either
 * that his love is no incentive for her to accept rescue by him, or
 * that her departure from strict heterosexuality makes her unworthy in his mind, in a way that her prostitution did not.

It's the lurid movie adaptation that included such possible reading, not the novel this article is about. 62.147.26.29 (talk) 22:31, 14 February 2018 (UTC)

Lesbian related?

Good, because the novel isn't lesbian related. It's the lurid movie adaptation that included such possible reading. 62.147.26.29 (talk) 22:29, 14 February 2018 (UTC)
