As one can derive the plot from the many previously posted messages here, I'll not address it in this post. Perhaps it's a girl/girl thing, or maybe I've just watched too many Harry Novak "classics," but I have to say that I found Joyce Danners to be the 'erotic anchor'of this film. I chose to watch this flick on the strength of her presence in the trailer. This red-headed vixen steals the movie with her measured speech and the deft way she somehow manages to blink under those hefty-looking false eyelashes. She's my hero-again, probably just a girl/girl thing. Though the rape scene and the character's subsequent reaction to being violated make this movie irritating at times, you gotta' love the fact that the lesbian character (joyce danner) 'takes care of her own business' after her advance are spurned. Danners could definitely benefit from the enhancement surgeries of today. Still, she's got a definite sex appeal, if you go for that sort.

Chained Girls
(1965)
Ironic Delight
13 April 2005
For what it is "chained girls" is one of the best cinematic experiences I've ever had. This is the perfect companion/foil to the film "Before Stonewall." Rarely has a movie made me laugh so hard and so deeply. It could just be that it's a girl/girl thing, but there's something about seeing these stereo-types so sloppily portrayed. Really this film is a treat if you are in the right frame of mind and/or watching it with someone who truly has a firm grasp of irony. Invite some friends over, grab a bottle of wine and enjoy. One serious note though, this flick will actually make you respect the old-timers for the horrible misconceptions they had to face on a day to day basis. So not only do you get a truly ironic delight, but you get a moral as well. Again, I can't stress enough, watch this only when you're in an appropriate frame of mind--that alone will make the difference between whether you'll laugh or weep! Girl/Girl.
