Roommates, LSD, and a side hustle gone sideways in a 1968 exploitation drama.
HELP WANTED FEMALE
Two kinky female roommates have odd habits. One is a hooker who beats up and robs her customers after she has sex with them. The other one takes money from men to perform stripteases for them at her place. One day she and a customer, Mr. Gregory, drop some LSD together and he begins to tell her a story that makes the girls realize this time they may have more on their hands than they bargained for.
If your roommate situation feels wild, you haven’t seen anything yet.
Help Wanted Female isn’t your average roommate drama—unless your average involves one woman robbing her johns and another trading stripteases for cash. John Hayes delivers a slice of late-'60s exploitation where drugs, nudity, and double-crosses mix freely in just 75 minutes.
