Ladies of the Evening features an indelible performance by Mary Boucher as a repressed suburban housewife who, after seeing a segment on the evening news about streetwalkers, ruminates for several months about her conflicted reaction before apprehensively leaving her family and PTA board meeting behind one night to pick up a hooker.
As tough as this decision must have been for the tightly wound Gail, when she discovers the working girl she's chosen (touchingly played by a sweetly sympathetic Brian Weir) is actually is a transsexual the same age as her son, she's ready to start her American-made economy car and book out of the parking lot of the motel they've chosen for their quickly abandoned rendezvous.
