Satan in High Heels
Synopsis
Stacey Kane (Meg Myles) is the anti-hero of Satan in High Heels, a carnival stripper who goes on the lam and proceeds to bend the nightclub world to her devices in a series of intense power plays.
Our take
The early 60s New York club scene acts as the tawdry backdrop to this flamboyant, fetish-laden sexploitation film. Shot through with tinges of film noir, Satan in High Heels is a rollicking ride of burlesque nightclubs, underground S&M, and fabulous fetish wear, starring pin-up model Meg Myles.
