Mondo Topless

Mondo Topless is a 1966 pseudo documentary directed by Russ Meyer, featuring Babette Bardot and Lorna Maitland among others. It was Meyers first color film following a string of black amp white roughie nudies, including Faster, Pussycat Kill Kill While a straightforward sexploitation film, the film owes some debt to the French new wave and cinma vrit traditions, and is known to some under the titles Mondo Girls and Mondo Top.

The film presents a snapshot of 60s San Francisco before shifting its focus to strippers. The strippers lives are earnestly portrayed as they reveal the daytoday realities of sex work, talk bra sizes, relate their preferences in men, all voiced over while dancing topless to a 60s instrumental rock soundtrack. Throughout a large portion of the film, the narrator talks about the women as if they are a subgenre of the counter culture movement, somewhat similar to the beatnik or hippie movements that were highly prevalent during the same era. The Topless movement as it is called by the narrator could also be perceived as an allegorical subset of the Sexual Revolution of the 1960s.The title Mondo Topless derives from the series of mondo films of the early 1960s. The first and most successful of these was Mondo Cane A Dogs World. The purpose of these films was to bypass censorship laws by presenting both sexual and graphically violent material in a documentary format. ........
