Review of Mondo Topless (1966) by Hassan M — 14 Feb 2010

'Mondo Topless (Mondo Girls) (1966)' is a documentary from Russ Meyer about... boobs. Of course. What else? An hour of half naked wiggling women prancing around the screen. At times the shots are quite tasteful and arty, at others, they're just an excuse to see boobs.

Big boobs. Small boobs. Some the size of your head. They're all here, as Meyer takes us on a whistlestop tour of different dancer girls. An exhuberant narration from John Furlong adds some humour, but more dialogue from the ladies would have been appreciated.

With interesting and telling insights into the world of topless dancing, it's a shame more wasn't mined from the women, instead Meyer deciding to let the dancing talk for itself. Which is all well and good, except after ten minutes it does begin to get rather tiresome.

Still, for an hour of pretty much non-stop tits and ass, you can't go wrong here, and the soundtrack does provide a nice distraction at times.
