Summary: You must see this movie in order to believe it!
Review: The Queen of Exploitation, Doris Wishman, brings us one of her most successful films and her most popular female superstar, Chesty Morgan (billed in this movie as "Zsa Zsa"). Where in the world did Doris Wishman find Chesty Morgan? I'm sure there's a story there. Chesty is clumsy throughout the film, she has zero talent as far as acting ability is concerned and she looks as if she is absolutely miserable in practically every scene. Her teeth are hideous, her wigs are tacky, and whomever it was that told her to get dressed for every scene in the closet in the dark should be ashamed of themselves! As is the trademark for Doris Wishman movies there are many shots of feet, lamps, and other such inanimate objects for no apparent reason (often the camera will zoom in on Chesty's monsterous breasts) but all of this makes the film more appealing in a strange and bizzare way. The plot is simple...after the mob kills her boyfriend, Crystal (played by Chesty) goes on a rampage and murders his killers using the only weapons she has....her 73 inch breasts! Yes, she actually suffocates her victims between her ample bossoms in mind boggling murder sequences that must be seen to be believed! This film was so successful that it spawned a pseudo-sequel titled "Double Agent 73" which also features Chesty and is directed by Wishman.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: God, she looks unhappy
Review: The transfer is good and everything technical about the DVD was fine - Something Weird usually does a good job and I have lots of their other titles (both on DVD and tape). But this movie is just awful. Chesty Morgan (billed as Zsa Zsa) looks so miserable during the movie it is painful to watch. Obviously nobody expects brilliant direction or camera work from a Wishman film, but her habit of focusing on something inane like a lamp while two people are talking gets irritating after a while, even if youre watching it because its bad. Bad Girls Go to Hell is slightly less awful if I had to choose. If youve never seen a Wishman film, rent one before plunking down 20 odd bucks for a DVD.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It all depends on which way your tastes run...
Review: Yes, by any normal standards this film is badly made, unintentionally hilarious, a great cult classic, good for a laugh and so on. It's all true and you must see it for these reasons.
However, if you love very well endowed women, then you will worship Chesty. The sequence when she strips down to pantyhose and girdle is to my mind the most erotic thing I've ever seen.
Subjectivity is truth - if you love bountiful natural bosoms and sensible underwear this film rules ! If you don't dig these things, don't criticise this viewpoint, stick to your own tastes...the world is big enough for all of us.
