BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay
Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
morrison-dylan-fan After finding Russ Meyer's first (surviving) short film This Is My Body to surprisingly be much more enjoyable than most of the full features from Russ Meyer's "Nudie-Cutie" era,I decided to take a look at Meyer's second,and final,short film.The plot:Showing a cities skyline being changed by a number of skyscrapers being built,a woman is shown walking past a number of skyscrapers as she heads for a bra fitting in a local shop.As the woman starts to get fitted for the bra,it is revealed that she may have more in common with skyscrapers than it originally appears.View on the film:Running at 4 and a half minutes instead of the 10 listed on IMDb,writer/editor/cinematography and directing auteur Russ Meyer makes sure that every second count by shooting the film in a brightly lit appearance,that along with making the stunning Rochelle Kennedy bounce across the screen,also gives the skyscraper shots an oddly cartoon feel.Giving the movie a real sense of colour,Meyer backs the brightly lit appearance with a wonderfully sarcastic British narration,which reveals the full height of Meyer's skyscrapers.
jwgerber I really wish this was available as an extra on DVD as it is my all time favorite short. Russ Meyer had a great sense of humor and this file shows it well. If you ever get to see it , you will have spent 10 minutes in heaven.Basically, it is shot silent and narrated with tongue firmly in cheek. It starts out with a busty (but saggy) woman walking along the street as the narrator talks about the engineering of skyscrapers. She spies a "while you wait" custom bra shop and goes in to get fitted. Needless to say, the fitter jiggles her breasts a lot more than necessary! After putting on the bra, she walks out with her "bird dog" bra (the kind that makes pointers out of setters!!!).I haven't seen this picture in 40 years and remember it as if it were yesterday (or maybe 20 years ago, anyway).
