About Sparkle's Tavern
Siblings hide their ownership of a bordello from their mother. When she is visited by a man who shares the joys of sexual enlightenment with her, her entire world is turned upside down.
Directed by Curt McDowell, Sparkle's Tavern leans on a strong ensemble — Marion Eaton, Melinda McDowell, Jerry Terranova — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about fantasy titles of 1985.
