Jeanskynebu the audience applauded
Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

morrison-dylan-fan After failing to get a DVD of Mario Bava's Gothic Horror The Whip And The Body to work on any of my DVD players,I decided,the after having spent an hour frustratingly trying to get the DVD to work,that I would instead watch an easy-going movie.With having found auteur film maker Russ Meyer's original Nudie Cutie period to be one that was light and pretty easy to watch,I decided o take a look at Meyer's last ever feature film visit to his Nudie-Cutie era.The plot:Starting in San Francisco and travelling across Eurpore,the film takes a look at some of the most successful/popular go-go dancing/strip clubs in the world,with the movie makers interviewing a number of the club's biggest dancers about what gives them the adrenalin rush to dance.Along with looking at the go-go dancing/strip clubs,the movie also takes a look at the behind the scenes of of the film that led to Russ Meyer leaving the Nudie-Cutie era behind:Lorna.View on the film:Checking a bonus interview on the DVD of the movie,I was surprised to hear writer/cinematography/editor/co-producer/director Russ Meyer say that he hated the film,due to the only reason that he made the movie, (in 5 days!) being that his then-wife (and co-producer) Eve was moaning to him about how their last movie had not made as much at the box office as had originally been hoped.Whilst the 15 minutes or so of re-used footage from Meyer's earlier,near Silent Nudie-Cutie Europe In The Raw shows the very limited nature of the production,Meyer reveals that the titles he has made after finishing his Nudie-Cutie era have had a big impact on his sharp ear for the soundtrack of the film,with the (voiced over) interviews being backed by a terrific Surf Rock score from a band called The Aladdins and a witty narration by John Furlong,which all help to keep the movie moving at a quick pace.Along with the soundtrack,Meyer also includes some very interesting screen test forage from his first non-Nudie-Cutie movie Lorna,that along with acting as a nice behind the scenes section on the film,also displays how much Meyer has excitingly moved from his original roots.
Michael_Elliott Mondo Topless (1966) ** (out of 4) This film starts off as a nutty documentary of San Francisco but quickly turns into a tour of the lovely, big breasted strippers of the city. Thankfully this film runs just 60-minutes because anything longer would have really killed the entertainment factor even with the hour running time pushing its limits. The movie is set up as some sort of documentary but being from Meyer you know very well what it's going to be about. We see countless beautiful and big breasted women dance, jiggle and just bounce their breasts all over the screen and while this is certainly fun to watch, it does grow boring before the half-hour mark. The most interesting (look wise) woman is certainly one called Bouncy Babette Bardot who does a few nice tricks with her you guessed it. I think what really kills the entertainment is that we have these strippers telling us their stories and who in the hell wants to hear them? None of the stories are very interesting and all lean towards the boring side. This certainly isn't a bad movie but the director has much better work out there to be seen.
celesto_moon This is a really great movie, hilarious! The narrator is just ridiculous, they keep calling it "the art of the topless" and how the girls are skilled in the art. Its a good movie to pull out when you have people over and need something to entertain everyone. Basically, its just girls who are topless talking about their jobs or other various things in their lives. It's pretty soft core & the most mischievous things one of the girls says is "When I go to bed, I don't wear a brassiere". The things the girls say are stupid but the movie is pretty caked in satire. The narrator actually says "try to concentrate on this girl as she's talking to you", its a joke! Old style movie but definitely worth it. Plus, it's entertaining! O & A party rock!
BrianN Hilarious double-entendre narration (subtle as a sledgehammer) over "mod rock" music. Thoroughly pneumatic cast and hypnotizing choreography.
