No.813: "The time is October..."
Lord knows where Something Weird dredged up 'Passion In The Sun' from, but this 1964 'Roughie' is far out. Cuban gangsters kidnap a stripper with a bizarrely long sequence of her fighting one of them in a moving car. This is followed by an absurdly long stripper/gangster/cop chase sequence with a bass-driven soundtrack so repetitive that it wouldn't be out of place on an OM album.
Believing that she's got away, our heroine then goes skinny-dipping for no apparent reason! Oh, and the action is punctuated by sequences of strippers on stage. Nothing to do with the plot. Just strippers stripping. Oh and just to add some horror to the mix, there's an escaped circus freak to terrorise our young lovely.
I thought I knew what 60s American trash cinema was, but this is the absolute trashiest. It's a time capsule of sleaze so profound that it's almost art.
