All Night Long

All Night Long (1981)

She's got a way with men. And she's getting away with it...

Executive George Dupler loses his temper and is demoted to the night manager at a 24 hour drugstore. After he suggests to his teenage son Freddie that he stop having an affair with suburban housewife Cheryl Gibbons, who is a distant cousin, Cheryl tries to seduce George. At home, in front of his mother, Freddie accuses his dad of stealing his girl, because he found Cheryl serving George a meal in the middle of the night, while her husband Bobby was on duty at the fire station. George then separates from his wife Helen, quits his job, moves into a warehouse, and asks Cheryl to move in with him.

Production

The film was originally planned as a low-budget release with Gene Hackman and Lisa Eichhorn in the leading roles. Agent Sue Mengers, who was married to the film's director, Jean-Claude Tramont, suggested Barbra Streisand, her longtime client and close friend, for the part of Cheryl Gibbons instead of Eichhorn, even though filming was already under way.

Prominent in the musical soundtrack is "La Violetera", a composition by José Padilla which had been featured previously in Charlie Chaplin's City Lights.
