Sex Kittens Go to College (1960)

From the man who gave you: Touch of Evil...........

[6/10 · 26 August 2007]

It's really sad that there is only one comment on this fun classic in six years. Written and directed by Albert Zugsmith who worked with Orson Welles on one of his greatest films Touch of Evil, Sex Kittens Go To College is a great Psychotronic film that really should be out on DVD hopefully with a Joe Bob Briggs commentary. The cast is nothing short of amazing! Mamie Van Doren is a "genius" with 13 degrees and a body that drives men wild and women to fume with jealousy. Tuesday Weld is a bit young for college at 17 but looks fantastic. Mijanou Bardot is more like the right age at 21 and her frerrranch accent like the great one done by John Cleese in Holy Grail can't help but make you laugh. There's John Carradine doing the Charleston with Mamie. The great horror movie host Vampira (who dated James Dean and at 39 isn't the hag the other reviewer says she is)is Louis Nye's lab assistant taking care of Thinko the robot a computer (!) that is a big metal robot with a lot of phony machines all around him. Hopefully if they put this on DVD they'll get the European cut which includes four strippers who do their "acts" for Thinko and Voltaire the chimp who's dressed like a beatnik most of the time. The strippers get down to some pretty skimpy panties (one is a thong so young people who think those were invented in the nineties are wrong)and pasties on their nipples. This was really hot stuff in 1960. Today it would get a PG on ABC family channel. MST3K did a great job with one of Mamie's other classics Girl's Town but unfortunately never got to do this film. Here's hoping if the show ever comes back or Joe Bob gets a shot at it this is the film they do. Like Plan Nine From Outer Space this is a classic!
