Harry Sears manages The California Dolls, a female wrestling tag team who tour America, hoping for a chance at winning big time. Harry's also romantically involved with one of them. Their fortunes seem osecondary to him (particularly when Harry accepts an engagement involving mud wrestling!) but then a chance at the big ring match beckons, in Reno, Nevada Written by Jeremy Perkins {J-26}
the last film from robert aldrich, a great director who didn't let political incorrectness stop him from making really enjoyable drive-in type exploitation movies. this movie, which was apparently produced independently by aldrich and many members of his family, drags on and on with a very slight plot. but it ends with a very suspenseful climax, a trick aldrich tried before (and more successfully) with "the longest yard". not for feminists!
