BRIAN VINER reviews The Last Showgirl: Pammy razzle dazzles as an ageing Vegas showgirl
BRIAN VINER: Widely regarded as a comeback vehicle for Pamela Anderson, The Last Showgirl, as vehicles go, is less a gleaming Rolls-Royce than a truck.
Anderson is perfectly cast as the film's title character, Shelly, a veteran dancer in Le Razzle Dazzle, a vaguely 'erotic' Parisian-style revue that has run for 38 years in a Las Vegas casino. But Shelly, who has been kicking her legs up since the early days and at 57 is still sporting the feathered headdresses and sequinned leotards alongside dancers a third of her age (one of them very nicely played by Kiernan Shipka, who was little Sally Draper in the TV drama Mad Men), is aghast when she hears that the final curtain is about to fall. One option is to join her old friend Annette ( Jamie Lee Curtis), a former dancer now working as a cocktail waitress who, if she thinks it is demeaning to receive dollar tips in her prominent cleavage from gamblers who only have eyes for the slot machines, doesn't show it.
