Wow. Wow. Wow. What a gorgeous restoration of this forgotten grindhouse sexploitation title. A loose crime/caper film with lots of go-go dancing, big hair, big bosoms, and over-the-top sex interludes. All set to the music of Perez Prado (credited as Dario de Mexico). NOLA burlesque queen Rita Alexander is fantastic as bad girl ringleader Toni. Fans of Russ Meyer and John Waters, take note...Thanks byNWR for this gem.

Top tat. Rather sexy I thought. I actually loved the samba pulling throughout.

Nice dance sequences and super 1960's Mexican rock music, but this more like an "artifact" than a coherent "film". Fans of 60's burlesque/go-go dancers will find gems here, like Rita Alexander's classic trick of drinking a glass of champagne balanced on her breast. You can just skip through the talking and the lame lovemaking scenes.

Digitally restored (very) soft core exploitation film from '67 that holds up pretty well and even attempts to tell a story. Wonderful soundtrack with a samba beat throughout makes up for some of its weaknesses.

If you like a crude storyline with shitty dialogues and poor sound/video editing, ballooned by boring dance numbers and bed sequences showing only the heads of the actors this might be the right film for you. At least it's funny to watch the bad actors who even don't know their words right and sometimes have to stop in mid-sentence. But the samba rhythm throughout the film (hey, it's carnival!) is actually annoying.

I thought I recognized one of the women. Lorna from the Russ Meyer films. This film actually makes Russ look like a real director.

I recommend watching the first 10 minutes and see if you can handle it as this film doesn't bring anything worth mentioning nor does it get better - quite the opposite - it is a downward spiral into oblivion and the finale is murder to watch. The music stands out as it's not bad at all and would easily fit in one of Tarantino's films. Honestly, I am not surprised the original negative got lost...

Oh boy...big, dumb, life-affirming smut! Set in Rio by way of New Orleans or Waco, Texas or someplace! I'm so glad NWR found it in his heart to restore this, especially since the restoration probably cost more than the movie did.
