Mondo Topless
Russ Meyer turns the mondo documentary into a fast, cheeky parade of dancers, performers, and uninhibited women discussing the business and spectacle of going topless. In San Francisco some professional topless dancers are interviewed and shown at work, among them Pat Barringer, Darlene Grey, Sin Lenee, Darla Paris, Diane Young, Donna "X," and Babette Bardot. In Brussels' Moulin Rouge, topless dancer Veronique Gabriel performs her "dance of the leather belt." Greta Thorwald is interviewed in Copenhagen at the Atlantic Palace; and Denise Duval is seen at Le Cabaret Sexy in Nancy, France. Lorna Maitland, star of the sex exploitation film Lorna , is interviewed, and her screen test for Lorna is shown. In Paris, Gigi La Touche is seen at the Place Pigalle; and Abundavita is shown at work in Berlin's Fair Lady Film Bar. Heide Richter performs at Casino de Paris in Hamburg, and Yvette Le Grand is interviewed and seen onstage in the Crazy Horse Saloon in Paris. Completely topless. Completely uninhibited. The craze that began in San Francisco is now exploding across the USA and Europe.
