Plying their trade in an expensive, immaculately maintained Manhattan bordello, they deal with everything from the mundane to the profane while servicing men of all shapes, sizes, and odd fetishes. For these working girls, every job may have its price, but every day has its cost. Director Lizzie Borden spent six months interviewing real prostitutes for this acclaimed 1986 drama, delivering an unflinching look at “The World's Oldest Profession” filled with rare humor, insight, and honesty.
