. Hunter's triumphs were Damn Yankees, Lafayette Escadrille, and That Kind of Woman. He recorded a pop song, Young Love, which was the #1 hit in the U.S. for a month in 1957, and made many subsequent albums. He had a short-lived television show and a famous flop on Broadway, co-starring with Tallulah Bankhead in Tennessee Williams’ The Milk Train Doesn’t Stop Here Anymore, which closed after five performances. Smaller movies followed. In the 1980s he had a comeback, starring twice with Divine, first in Polyester, then in Lust in the Dust, which he co-produced with Allan Glaser. Hunter did not come out until September 2003, when at 72, he sold a book proposal for a memoir that would discuss his life candidly.

Now Ecco has reissued this quirky masterpiece about the devil-may-care thrillseekers Miss Goering (who, as a child, "had been very much disliked by other children") and the more-than-meets-the-eye married matron, Mrs Copperfield. The former, an heiress, leaves her splendid mansion for a seedy dive and its semi-squalid denizens, while the latter, on a trip to Panama, abandons her husband to live in a brothel with a fading prostitute named Pacifica.
