Inane regional nudie

[Davian_X · 3/10 · 27 February 2018]

Rescued by Code Red from impossible obscurity, this late-to-the-party Atlanta, GA, variation on the nudie cutie is short on plot but long on idiocy, just as the genre requires. Billingsley Kleinfelter III (director Bill McGaha) is a supposed millionaire who lives in what looks like an economy apartment complex on the outskirts of Atlanta. So rich is he that he has a gaggle of bikini women who follow him around at every moment, constantly begging to make love. Exhausted from sexual overexertion, Billingsley manages to escape to his friend Orville's, where the two decide to head to the country for some R&R. Their picaresque adventures comprise the rest of the picture, and include meeting some pretty country girls, taking a nap in a field, and finally going fishing (whereupon they promptly take another nap). Returning to the city, the boys switch places PRINCE & THE PAUPER-style, which honestly would have made for a far more interesting film in the first place. Despite being produced outside the main centers of exploitation filmmaking (NY, LA and Florida), BAD GIRLS follows the inane paradigm of its inspirations closely. The entire film is post-dubbed, though with distinctive incompetence: the movie starts with multiple narrators, each doing different voices (one seems to be aping Foghorn Leghorn, another Mr. Magoo), for no discernable reason, and the effect is like being plunged into a one-sided conversation with a schizophrenic. Eventually, several of the narrators seem to segue into voicing characters (that or more narrators are introduced, it's hard to tell), but it takes the film quite some time to recover from its bewildering opening. To make matters worse, the numerous "funny" bits (de rigeur for the genre) are anything but (again de rigeur...). Billingsley's friend Orville is a hulking giant with a monstrous, protuberant gut, so of course he's given a twee, effete lilt in the dubbing (it's the opposite of what you expect, you see...). Similarly, I wanted to stab my ears out after hearing "Billingsley Kleinfelter III," which must have been pulled out of one of the crustiest final volumes on the "Big Books of Silly Names" shelf. The standard double-entendres and visual puns that the genre requires are all accounted for ("What a catch!" intones the narrator as our fishing heroes accidentally snag Orville's buxom wife), and while groan-inducing as ever, their pro forma inanity at least some respite from the film's more embarrassing digressions. For anyone with access to erotica produced after 1970, whatever appeal BAD GIRLS once had will surely have evaporated. It's neither dirty enough to be arousing nor creative or clever enough to be compelling as a nudie. A few of the girls are cute in a '60s cheesecake kind of way, but for those with an interest in nostalgic erotica, the classic T&A of Meyer, Friedman and Lewis will surely prove far more satisfying to watch. About the only good to say about BAD GIRLS FOR THE BOYS is that it injects some interesting home-grown variety into the same tired format, compensating for its lack of skill with a few interesting (albeit minor) digressions from formula.

Typical Mid 60's T&A

If your thing is bad southern accents and partially nude women then this is your movie, otherwise pass it up. There is no audio other than a voice over that sounds like it belongs as a book reading. It looks like the location filming was all done in someones back yard.

A Pretty Bad Film

[Uriah43 · 1/10 · 3 July 2020]

"Billingsley Kleinfelter III" (William F. McGaha) is an extremely rich bachelor who lives in an apartment complex which is also occupied by single young women in search of a rich bachelor. Needless to say, Billingsley has no difficulty getting a date. The problem, however, is that he is constantly mobbed by them to the point that he just wants to get away for a while. His best friend, "Orville Duckworth" (Bob Johnson), on the other hand, has an entirely different predicament in that he is married and his wife nags him all of the time. So to remedy their situation the two of them decide to drive out to the country to camp out, drink beer and fish. However, when they get there they find two young women who are desperate for male companionship--and this creates certain opportunities and challenges of their own. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this was about as bad a movie as any that has ever been made. For starters, there is no dialogue between any of the actors. Instead, the decision was made to use a voice over for the entire film which became quite annoying the longer it progressed. Likewise, for a comedy there wasn't much humor and other than the inclusion of some pretty women like Samantha Scott (as "Daughter Brown"), Dianne Stanley ("Lucy Brown") and Bonnie Sinclair ("Mrs. Duckworth") there really wasn't anything here remotely of interest. In short, as stated earlier, this was a pretty bad film and I have rated it accordingly.
