Scruples

About This Movie

So, 'Scruples' (1981) is this continuation of the mini-series that dives deeper into the lives of its characters, particularly Billy Ikehorn, played by Shelley Smith. The atmosphere is very much in line with early 80s soap dramas—lots of glitz but with an undercurrent of manipulation and intrigue. The pacing feels a bit leisurely at times, typical for TV movies of that era, but it's all about those juicy moments of betrayal and romance. The performances are really what stand out; there's a certain charm in the way these actors navigate their tangled relationships. Plus, some of the scenes feel a bit over-the-top, but that’s kind of what you expect from a Judith Krantz adaptation. Overall, it’s an interesting snapshot of the time, showcasing the glamor and grit of Beverly Hills.
