Movie review - "Wild Gals of the Naked West" (1962) *

A nudie cutie from Russ Meyer - the film's poor box office performance led to him trying a different genre, more dramatic. This was hard going. There's more nudity, but it's just a series of moments - you wouldn't call them scenes - around an old western backlot. Sometimes the woman are topless, the colour photography is fine, the women are attractive. Most of it is music over action, with occasional narration. Sometimes there's a prospector talking to the screen. He has a distinctive voice.
