Quite scandalous in its time (it was originally released with an X-rating), this would hardly even merit an 'R' these days. It's the familiar story of a group of female singers who go to L.A. looking for fame, but instead find drugs, lesbians, and Nazi war criminals. This is highly spoken of as one of the greatest American films of all time or something, but I don't see what the big deal is. Maybe it's because it was co-written by an obscure film student who soon gave up a career as a screenwriter to pursue one where he could more easily bash the work of others...Roger Ebert. This is not a lie. Directed by the great breast-obsessed filmmaker Russ Meyer, and featuring a bevvy of gravity-defyin' babes...who mostly talk a lot and keep their clothes on. Pretty tame, so you might want to check out Meyer's superior boob flick Supervixens instead.
