Plot

Michele (Welch) is a Vegas dancer who is, as the saying goes, red hot: maybe too hot, for in this film, she learns that somebody wants her dead. She gets help from the cops, but along the way the killer stays on her trail, and she learns it may be a man she knows. It also features Welch dancing to the song Suzie Q, which became a hit song by Creedence Clearwater Revival.

Cast

Production

The film was based on an original screenplay. It was the first film from the GMF Pictures Corporation, a film arm from the Getty Oil Interests. It was run by J. Paul Getty's son, Ronald. GMF stood for Getty–McDonald–Fromkess, Getty's partners being Ronald McDonald, a tax and business specialist, and Leon Fromkess, a film producer.[3] [4][5]

Filming started in March 1969[6] and finished in June.[7]
