night of the lepus (1972)

"...attention! There is a herd of killer rabbits headed this way..."
An American ranch owner Cole Hillman (Rory Calhoun) owns land overrun by rabbits. He calls in zoologist Roy Bennett (Stuart Whitman) to help exterminate them humanly. But as Bennett's form of culling consists of pumping them full of hormones and genetically mutated blood, can it be a surprise when, instead of killing them off the rabbits become bloodthirsty, giant, man munching, killer bunnies.
This takes a while to get going, and actually never quite does, but its transplanting of the 50's giant mutant creature sci-fi genre into the 70's makes for a slightly comical B-movie classic anyway.

just before dawn (1981)

"Get off this land. You've raised the devil."
Five campers arrive in the mountains to examine some property they have bought, but are warned by a local (George Kennedy) not to go up the mountain. Obviously they ignore the warnings, setting up camp in the woods, and start disappearing one by one.
Run of the mill, teen hack and slash horror, but with a few nice touches to keep you interested.

steptoe and son ride again (1973)

"Your habious is about to become very corpus."
Scrap dealers Albert and Harold Steptoe (Wilfrid Brambell and Harry H. Corbett) continue their bickering as Harold looks for way to improve his lot in life. This weeks scheme involves investing his dad's life savings buying a greyhound. When he inevitably looses it all, Harold is forced to come up with another scheme to pay his debts; pretend Albert is dead in order to collect the life insurance.
Unlike the previous film outing, this one sticks closer to the feel of the TV series, and is much the better for it. Plays up the melancholly surrounding the eternally doomed Harold, who hopelessly struggles to achieve a better life.

death note: the last name (2006)

aka Death Note 2. Desu nôto: The last name.
"Only Kira can clean up the world."
The hunt to find who is Kira continues for L (Ken'ichi Matsuyama). Light (Tatsuya Fujiwara) has by now allayed suspicion that he is the killer, and has joined the task force hunting Kira. But L is not so easily convinced, and still believes that Light does not have something to do with the killings. Then the anti gets upped when a Kira II appears on the scene.
The cat and mouse games continue, with added complications. This makes for an entertaining two hour ride.

death note (2006)

aka Desu nôto.
"Whoever's name is written in this notebook will die."
Criminals suddenly start dying for no apparent reason. People believe it to be the work of Kira, an unknown entity. In reality it is the work of Light Yagami (Tatsuya Fujiwara), who has a notebook into which he places the names of people he wants to die. This brings up the sticky subject of the morality of it all. For Yagami is a disallusioned law student, who has seen how the law is powerless to prevent injustice, but is it ever right to become judge and jury? Before Yagami can think about such things the police enlist the help of super detective L to track down Kira the killer.
Based on a manga this is a well contstructed and played out cat and mouse game, that could have been based around Lord Acton's proposition that, 'Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.' The only annoyance is that its really a two part film, and to see the conclusion you need to see Death Note 2.

coffy (1973)

"She's a wild animal! I've got to have that girl."
Coffy (Pam Grier) is a nurse who decides to go undercover as a prostitute for King George (Robert Doqui), as a to take revenge on the drug dealers who got her 11-year-old sister addicted to heroin.
The film that sealed Pam's reputation as the queen of Blacksploitation. An action packed, funk driven ride.

a cat in the brain (1990)

aka Un Gatto nel cervello. Nightmare Concert. I volti del terror.
"..you're breaking down the barrier, the boundary between what you film and what's real."
A psychopath (David L. Thompson) is killing people in similar fashion to the deaths in the various films of director Dr. Lucio Fulci (Lucio Fulci). Meanwhile Lucio is having problems getting the terrible murders in his films out of his head, and they are making him nervy and neurotic.
A mix of horror and black comedy makes for an interesting self referencing film about the cinematic process.

female prisoner 701: scorpion (1972)

aka Joshuu 701-gô: Sasori.
"He has deceived me."
After being cruelly set up by Sugimi (Natsuyagi Isao), a crooked detective, Matsushima Nami's (Meiko Kaji) desire is for revenge. As she has a lot of incriminating evidence on him and his gangland cronies they plan her 'accidental' death in prison. Will she overcome all the odds and get her revenge?
Mixing arthouse with extreme violence as only the Japanese seem to be able to. This is an entertaining look at how much one woman can endure to achieve revenge; as long as you like sadism, gore, and sexploitation that is.

voyage to the planet of prehistoric women (1968)

"Venus a planet named after the godess of love."
1998 and when astronauts journeying to Venus loose contact with Earth, a rescue mission is sent to find them. They find a planet full of dangerous creatures, which they dispatch before finding their compatriates. What they don't know is that these creatures are being controlled by some sexy Venusian go-go girls, whose existance seems to consist of sunbathing in ski-pants and seashell bras.
Roger Corman basically seems to have had a Russian Sci-fi film hanging around the office and realised if he cobbled it together with some film of Mamie Van Doren and friends standing around, he'd have something approximating a film. So he did just that, and all for a budget that was probably blown on buying some pretzels for the crews lunch.

daleks' invasion earth: 2150 a.d. (1966)

"Forward or you will be exterminated."
The Doctor (Peter Suching) and his companions arrive in the year 2150 to find England overrun by Daleks. They are enslaving people to work in a mine in Bedfordshire, and the Doctor is determined to find out why and stop them.
60's big budget, (compared to the TV series), and unintentionally campy revisioning of the classic TV series.

mrs. brown you've got a lovely daughter (1968)

"If we ever get there."
Herman Tully and his friends (Herman's Hermits) own a greyhound called Mrs Brown. The dog shows promise, but the boys need money to enter it into races. So they decide to form a band to earn the cash and move to London to seek fame and fortune for the dog.
An off-kilter film, that doesn't quite know what it wants to be. An old style MGM musical? A love story? A wry take on society, or a rags to riches tale of working class lads done good. But for all its confusion, its lack of focus, or a definite ending, (nothing really gets resolved), it does prove to be an entertaining and interesting look at an England that has little to do with swinging London.

the awful dr orloff (1962)

aka The Demon Doctor. Gritos en la noche.
"My name is Orloff and I'm very pleased to make your acquaintance."
The police are baffled. A number of beautiful women have disappeared. What they don't know is it's actually Morpho (Ricardo Valle), the deformed assistant of Dr. Orlof (Howard Vernon) and the Doctor. The good doctor is trying to use their skin to repair his daughter's scarred face, a procedure he has yet to perfect.
This is an entertaining period thriller, despite it being a rehash of Eyes Without A Face. Not original, but still one done well.

stop me before i kill (1961)

aka The Treatment. The Full Treatment.
"Why would you want to kill me Alan?"
Newlyweds Alan and Denise Colby (Ronald Lewis and Diane Cilento) holiday in Southern France following a bad car accident. Since the crash Alan is quick to anger, and resort to violence, especially against his wife. Following a stormy dinner, at psychiatrist Dr. David Prade's (Claude Dauphin) house, the doctor tries to help, but Alan resists. Then one morning Alan awakes to find Denise gone, and Prade alludes to the possibility that Alan may have murdered her...
Crisply filmed, this is a psychological thriller which brings out the best in Diane Cilento as the tormented wife. Unfortunately the film gets bogged down with talk, and what could have been a taut 90 minute thriller is stretched and loses its way.

girly (1970)

aka Mumsy, Nanny, Sonny & Girly.
"One more game, just one more game before bye byes."
A disfunctional family who entice dropouts to stay with them, then makes them pretend to be part of a perfect family. If they refuse to play or try to leave they are sent to the angels. Then they meet up with New friend (Michael Bryant), who has some ideas of his own to enliven the games...
This low key film slowly draws you in as Michael Bryant comes to terms with the weirdness that is this family, then watches as they disintergrate further.

switchblade sisters (1975)

aka The Jezabels. Playgirl Gang.
"We're the Jezabels..."
The 'Dagger Debs' support their men the 'Silver Daggers' and terrorise the neighbourhood. They are led by Lace (Robbie Lee), who befriends Maggie (Joanne Nail), a new girl in town. Maggie soon joins the gang, but Lace starts to mistrust her, a mistrust which is unfounded, and leads to some unwanted consequences.
A fine example of exploitation cinema; fast paced and full of action, it even manages to throw in a laughably cheesy women in prison scene.

starcrash (1978)

aka Female Space Invaders. The Adventures of Stella Star.
"Circuits don't fail me now!"
Whilst on the run from the imperial police two smugglers (Marjoe Gortner and Caroline Munro) pick up a castaway. He is the only survivor from a mission to destroy the evil Count zartham's latest superweapon. The smugglers are soon recruited to complete the mission, and also rescue the Emperor's son. A normal days work for your friendly space smuggler.
A cheap but fun rip off of Star Wars meets Buck Rogers, if produced using Ray Harryhausen as special effects consultant. And being Italian it features rather more scantily clad women, especially Caroline Munro, who spends much of the film in the most essential of space clothing, black leather bikini and thigh boots!

primeval (2007)

"The crocodile is exceptional. A creature of far greater value."
An American team of journalists and biologists journey to Burundi to capture and bring home a giant crocodile. But along with the croc not really wanting to leave, they do not take account of the tribal warfare that has plunged the area into civil war.
Suitably overthetop gore during the croc attacks, is countered with shocking human attrocities, as the group stumble into the brutality of ethnic cleansing. A typical monster flick is tempered with a hint of politics.

goliath and the vampires (1961)

aka Maciste contro il vampiro.
"Those who are responsible will pay..."
All the women in a village are kidnapped by the evil wizard Kobrak, to power his army of robots using their blood. So Goliath (Gordon Scott) sets off to save them.
A fun beefcake epic, chocked full with an evil socerer, dancing girls, a race of blue men and scheming women.

the illustrated man (1969)

"and on that sign it said skin illustrations."
Depression era American and a young man (Robert Drivas) meets up with a hobo (Rod Steiger), who is covered head to toe in 'skin illustrations'. The hobo says he is looking for a certain house, and the woman (Claire Bloom) who tattoo'd him. Whilst they sit round the camp fire the hobo tells of how he got the illustrations and some of the stories behind them.
A portmanteau piece linking three of Ray Bradbury's visions of the future.

cry of the banshee (1970)

"Don't you know this house is cursed? You are cursed, and Edward's cursed, and everybody's cursed."
In Elizabethan England, the thoroughly unlikable Lord Edward Whitman (Vincent Price) earns the emnity of Oona (Elisabeth Bergner), the leader of a coven of witches, when he has her coven killed. In retaliation she calls forth a demon bent on exacting revenge on the Whitman family.
Treading a similar path as Witchfinder General, with Price playing a familiar character, and having a fine time doing so, hamming it up with aplomb. His prescence lifts a mundaine suspence piece up a level.

La noche de Walpurgis (1971)

aka The werewolf vs vampire woman. Blood Moon.
"We should not have opened the coffin."
Elvira (Gaby Fuchs) and Genevieve (Barbara Capell) are searching for the lost tomb of a medieval tyrant and possible vampire, Countess Wandessa. They soon come across a castle ownened by Waldemar Daninsky (Paul Naschy). He invites them to stay and shows Elvira the countesses tomb. She accidentally brings the vampire back to life, (or should that be death?) Meanwhile Daninsky has a secret of his own...
After a promising opening salvo, this rapidly slows down, and is only very occassionally enlivened by some vamp, or werewolf activity. Unfortunately not enough to sustain any level of interest.

communion (1976)

aka Alice Sweet Alice. Holy Terror
"You're going to be the prettiest girl there."
Just before her first holy communion, Karen Spages (Linda Miller) is found murdered. Suspicion falls on Alice (Paula Sheppard), Karen's often overlooked, sullen and anger prone older sister. But is a twelve year old girl really capable of such savagery? As further murders are committed people become more and more convinced Alice is behind them. With only her mother believing in her innocence.
Engaging suspence-horror, that would have been much better if the Alice character had been nicer. As it was, she was an annoying brat, and as such I didn't care much one way or another whether or not she did or didn't do the crimes.

not of this earth (1957)

"I came for a transfusion of blood."
Johnson (Paul Birch) is a mysterious gentleman, of few words, who turns up at a doctors demanding a blood transfusion. When the doctor refuses without knowing more about his medical history Johnson reveals he has no blood! Once he recieves his transfusion Johnson hires the nurse (Beverley Garland) to continue his treatment. Meanwhile we find out Johnson is actually an alien sent to try and save his dying race by taking over the world.
Film that suffers slightly from uneven pacing, due to the talkyness of the script, but is otherwise a fine low budget alien invasion flick; and all for the price of some contact lenses and a large rubber bat type creature.

the shuttered room (1967)

aka Blood Island.
"You've left the door unlocked again!"
Susannah Kelton (Carol Lynley) inherits a millhouse on the New England coast, her childhood home. Arriving in the village they soon encounter the less than welcoming locals including ? (Oliver Reed), a local thug. All advise them not to venture onto the property and that there's nothing but demon's live there. Of course they disregard such advice...
Interesting film, that entertained but never caught my imagination, lacking suspence and any level of horror.

chamber of horrors (1966)

"But you're dead!"
Three businessmen, who run a house of wax, help in the capture of the serial killer Jason Cravette (Patrick O'Neal). Cravette is sentenced to hang, but dies in a freak accident, In fact Cravette only loses a hand, and free to stalk again, decides to take revenge on those that helped put him away.
A nicely realised period piece horror, which features a Fear Flasher and Horror Horn gimmick, much like William Castle was want to use.

night of fear (1972)

Two years before the Texas Chainsaw Massacre came this, arguably Australia's first horror flick. It concerns a backwoods character ((Norman Yemm) who kidnaps women who stray too close to his shack and subsequently tortures them. Don't expect much in the way of plot development, or much of anything other than, woman gets lost, woman gets chased, woman is tortured. Also although there are some shocks along the way, strangely there is no dialogue in this uneven horror, which adds to the disconnection from the film.

virgin witch (1972)

aka Lesbian twins.
"I won't let you down."
Christina (Ann Michelle) sees an advert recruiting aspiring models and decide to chance her arm. The woman behind the ad Sybil (Patricia Haines) sends her on a shoot to an old castle, and her Christina's sister Betty (Vicki Michelle) decides to chaperone. All seems idyllic enough, but unfortunately for them its a ruse to obtain virgins for a witch's coven.
Vaguely entertaining low budget horror, this film gives plenty of nudity, but none of the chills it promises. Also how did they expect the audience to believe that this uninhibited pair would still be virgins; that pushes suspension of disbelief beyond breaking point!

queen of the damned (2002)

"What do I yearn?"
The story of Lestat (Stuart Townsend), who goes from an 18th Century count to a rock star in the 21st Century. For you see Lestat is a vampire. But his flaunting of his vampiric origins does not go down well with other vampires.
An intreging story rendered as a mundaine horror, never once truely grabbing my attention, partly due to the casting of Aaliyah as the titular character, as it's hard to be frightened by what looks like a 12 year old having a tantrum!

never take sweets from a stranger (1960)

aka never take candy from a stranger.
"You think I should think objectively when someone has tried to corrupt my daughter?"
Peter Carter (Patrick Allen) moves with his wife and daughter to a small town in Canada, to take up his dream job, as school headmaster. But the dream soon turns into a nightmare when it turns out that his employers father, a founding father of the town, may be a Paedophile...
Startingly dramatic turn from Hammer, moving away from their standard horror/adventure fare, as it follows the aftermath of the event, and how the town closes ranks against the disruptive in-comers.

captain clegg (1962)

aka Night Creatures.
"I should say he died of fright."
A customs official arrives in a small coastal village to investigate smuggling activities in the area, but Captian Collier (Patrick Allen) is soon sidetracked by reports of "Marsh Phantoms" terrorising the area, and a comely serving wench (Yvonne Romain). Then his focus turns to the activities of the local vicar (Peter Cushing), is he hiding something?
An interesting mix of costumed melodrama, adventure, and horror, with more than a touch of saturday morning matinee about it, and features the then current hammer stable of actors including Oliver Reed.

scream blackula scream (1973)

"I don't have any 'bread' on me, and as for 'kicking my ass' I'd strongly suggest you give it careful consideration before trying."
A usurped voodoo priest takes revenge by bringing back the vampire Mamuwalde or Blacula (William Marshall), to you or me. Unleashing him to slake his blood lust.
A comic horror featuring Pam Grier, playing against type as a vunerable damsel in distress.

lucky jim (1957)

"Pretiest girl I've ever seen."
University in 1957, and Jim Dixon (Ian Carmichael) is a disheartened lecturer, having to kow-tow to his elders, whom he despises, in order to keep his job. Then his misery is compounded when he meets Christine Callaghan (Sharon Acker), who he falls for, even though she is obviously unobtainable to a man of his means.
Based on the Kingsley Amis novel, this comedy takes pot shots at the educatonal establishment, though much of the books satire is replaced by out and out slapstick. the bite may have gone, replaced by an enjoyable farce. Though it could have been so much better.

near dark (1987)

"I ain't a person anymore. I don't know what I am. I'm sick!"
Small town mid-west America and Caleb Colton (Adrian Pasdar), thinks he's struck lucky when he picks up Mae (Jenny Wright). She in turn takes a liking to the cow-poke and turns him, as unfortunately for him she is a vampire, and now so to is he. Whilst he's introduced to the rest of her 'family', and coming to terms with his new lifestyle, his family wonder where he's disappeared to and try and track him down.
A modern twist on the vampire story, combining the western with horror, complete with bar room brawls and a final showdown.

blacksnake (1973)

aka Slaves.
"Those who live by the sword, will die by the sword."
Lady Susan Walker (Anouska Hempel) is a tyranical plantation owner, who is keen to personally make use of a whip to keep order within the slave ranks. But such cruelty can only have one result, revolt!
A mixed bag, with not enough of anything that makes a Russ Meyer film unique. Perhaps he wanted to try his hand at a political allegory, but what we got was something that falls short by a considerable way.

johnny suede (1991)

"Did you ever hear the rent song?"
The story of Johnny Suede (Brad Pitt), not exactly the brightest spark in the world, his attempt to emulate Freak Storm (Nick Cave) and become a rock star. An attempt that is hindered by his tricky love life.
A small film, that inhabits the minutiae of life. The little things that make up most peoples everyday existance. Slow and deliberate pacing either draws you in, or pushes you away.

the titfield thunderbolt (1953)

"They can't close our line, it's unthinkable."
A small English village has their rail service stopped, as British Rail abandon it. So some of the locals decide to take it over and run it themselves, but not everyone is happy about it, especially the local bus company.
Light-hearted comedy, that would be churlish not to enjoy. An insight into an England that has long vanished, if it ever existed in the first place.

katalin Varga (2009)

"How much further do we have to go?"
Rural Romania, and Katalin Varga's (Hilda Péter) husband sends her away calling her a whore. She leaves with their son, telling the child they are going to visit her mother who is very ill. Along the journey the child questions what is happening and we learn why the husband is shocked enough to banish Katalin, as she in turn looks for answers.
A story of vengeance and how such things will never bring redemption. An air of menace and foreboding seeps through this film, giving a chill to otherwise idyllic rural scenes.

the black sleep (1956)

"It's not wise to wander these halls."
London 1872 and Dr. Gordon Ramsey (Herbert Rudley) is visited by his old tutor Dr Cadmund (Basil Rathbone). Ramsey is to hang the next day for a crime he says he did not commit and Cadmund offers him a way out with a drug he calls the black sleep. A drug that gives all the impressions of death. Thus certified dead, Ramsey awakes indebted to Cadmund, who sets him to work trying to discover a way of curing his wife's brain tumor by experimenting on doners. Doners who may have been less than co-operative in donating...
A gothic horror with actors queuing up for parts including Lon Chaney Jr., John Carradine and Bela Lugosi; even Tor Johnson pops up. Cheap but effectivily atmospheric. By no means a lost classic, but entertaining enough.

race for life (1956)

aka Mask Of Dust.
"He's finished and you know it! He should have packed up two years ago."
A 'man's gotta do' picture, where Peter Wells (Richard Conte) is a grand prix driver out of form. His wife Patricia (Mari Aldon) wants him to quit, but he cannot until he proves to everyone that he still has what it takes to win...
A small film, with big ambitions, featuring much racing footage, in an attempt to cover for a simplistic script.

the horseman on the roof (1995)

aka Le hussard sur le toit.
"Cholera avoids me like the plague."
It's 1832 in Cholera ravaged Southern France and Angelo Pardi (Olivier Martinez), an Italian huzzar is being chased by Austrian secret police and locals suspicious of strangers. He ends up being helped by Pauline de Théus (Juliette Binoche), and when he bumps into her again on his journey he vows to help her continue her journey. Thus they pair up and head across the cursed land, one on the run, the other on the hunt.
A fantastically realised historical epic adventure, full of historical detail.

the unholy four (1954)

aka The Stranger Came Home.
"That's not a sweater she's knitting - it's a noose."
A mysterious man turns up at a house party on a large country estate. He turns out to be the owner, Vickers (William Sylvester), who has been missing presumed dead for four years. His return opens old wounds and precipitates a number of murders as he tries to find out who attempted to murder him four years previously.
A low key and talky noir featuring Paulette Godard as Vickers wife. Offers promise but never really delivers on its intreging opening, despite throwing in and then ignoring a number of red herrings.

au pair girls (1972)

aka The Young Playmates.
"I work with them all day, and in the evening I play..."
Four au pair's come to London to work, and end up in a variety of situations, usually involving nudity! Anita (Astrid Frank) and Christa (Nancie Wait) work in the suburbia, Randi (Gabrielle Drake) works for a rich businessman, and Nan (Me Me Lai) at a stately home.
Like many a British sexploitation this is chock full of famous actors slumming it in a lame would be comedy. No better or worse than most BRitish sex comedies, but that isn't saying much.

hit man (1972)

"I ain't begun to get on your case, brother!"
Blacksploitation re-make of the classic Get Carter. Expect afro's and lots of jive talk as Tyrone Tackett (Bernie Casey) stomps around Harlem attempting to find out how and why his brother ended up taking a swim with his waterwings. ? (Pam Grier) offers little or no help on the subject. Loses the class of the original, replaced by a nastier more streetwise feel. Where they go to the horse races in Get Carter, here they go to the dog fights!

point blank (1967)

"You're a very bad man, Walker, a very destructive man! Why do you run around doing things like this?"
Double-crossed by his partner (John Vernon) and by his wife (Sharon Acker), and left for dead, Walker (Lee Marvin) has only one thought when he returns, where's his money? And Walker is not a man to mess with, as he shows in his dogged determination whilst climbing the corporate ladder trying to find someone powerful enough to pay him.
A slight story that is brought to unrelenting, and stylish life by Marvin and Boorman. A stone cold classic.

le donk & scor-zay-zee (2009)

"This is in my blood you know."
Music documentary about Le Donk (Paddy Constantine), a roadie and would be manager of Scor-zay-Zee, an up and coming rapper. Meanwhole Donk's ex-girlfriend is heavily pregnant with Donk's child and is due any day.
A psuedo fly on the wall documentary that was improvised over five days. Like all documentaries this is a bit hit and miss and comes across as an extended skit.

Murder most foul (1964)

"It may irritate you, Inspector, but sometimes women have superior minds. You'll simply have to accept it."
Miss Marple (Margaret Rutherford) joins the Cosgood players, a travelling theatre group fronted by Driffold Cosgood (Ron Moody) as she is convinced one of them is a murderer.
The third installment of Miss Marple sees the usual high standard of acting, and script. Nothing can compare to Rutherford's take on the part.

murder ahoy! (1964)

"What an old darling."
When her uncle dies Miss Marple (Margaret Rutherford) becomes a trustie of a training ship for wayward boys. Just in time it seems as at her first meeting one of the other trusties dies. Miss Marple suspects foul play, unlike the police. So what is an amateur detective to do but investigate.
Another fine murder mystery, with a fine supporting cast devouring a well rounded script. Maybe not up to the level of previous efforts, the last of the series still turns out to be an entertaining romp.

murder, she said (1961)

"You look old enough to know better."
On a train back home Miss Marple (Margaret Rutherford) views the murder of a woman in another train. Unable to get the police to believe her she determines to investigate herself, and takes a position in the household of Ackenthorpe (James Robertson Justice), in the belief that one of the family did the deed.
The first in the series, that was to spawn three more, is a wonderfully concocted mystery, featuring some splendid acting, topped off with some sparkling and biting dialogue.

the diadem (1966)

A short produced in two versions, the longer black and white silent and the even shorter colour version. Essentially a mini-mystery starring Diana Rigg as a psuedo Emma Peel character who gets involved in a treasure hunt. She flies a plane, swims with dolphins, stops for a couple of glasses of champagne, and slaps around various men before finally discovering a diamond tiara.
An amateurish curio nothing more, which makes you ask the question, why did Diana Rigg get involved in this?

teasearama (1955)

"Well take my wife...please!"
A compilation of several 1950s burlesque acts, including Bettie Page, Tempest Storm, some stand-up comedians of the take-my-wife-please variety and cult favorite Betty Page who introduces the acts and frames the film by strutting her stuff.
An insight into another era, where the merest hint of sex seemed too stimulating, and watch Bettie Page, queen of the 50's pin ups, try to dance.
