Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This film contains things that an impressionable young mind should not be exposed to. Adultery. Murder. Elderly, lustful pharmacists. Swing Choir.
Yes, it's another trip into cinema's nether regions with the folks from MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000, and this time they have a doozy on their hands.
To explain this movie is almost impossible--It was co-written, produced, and directed by one Coleman Francis, who earned most of his show-biz money playing the Man at Bar or the Third Soldier. And was so bad that even Russ Meyer (Russ Meyer! )wouldn't give him more than bit parts. Francis' only distinction as a filmmaker is the odd nature of his editing. Most directors use editing to help move the story along and generate tension. Francis used editing to recreate the sensation of an epileptic fit--people jump from one end of a room to another without taking a step, whole chunks of dialogue disappear, people explode from stasis into violent action, all of which contribute to the general feeling that every nerve ending in your brain is misfiring at once. Top all of this off with a long, pointless party sequence featuring every show-biz oddball that Coleman could round up, a crowd that might have made Fellini's mouth water, right down to an amazonian blonde who's almost a dead-ringer for Anita Ekberg. Alas, Marcello Mastroianni is nowhere in sight . . .
And then there's the swing-choir competition initiated by Dr. Forrester. I would go into detail, but this is a family audience, and the details are too grisly for young minds.
