A somewhat depressing movie based on a true story murder that occurred in my hometown of Santa Barbara in 2000. The movie uses Palm Springs as the setting for the crime rather than Santa Barbara, as the movie was shot while the trial was still going on. The movie has a party scene filmed at the Caliente Tropics Hotel in Palm Springs. It includes some great shots of an interior suite room and a night-time skinny dipping scene at the pool with the Tikis all lit up. The Tropics party scene lasts for about 10 minutes and shows quite a bit of the interior and exterior of the hotel grounds.
