Storyline

Rita, an ill-paid factory worker, is determined to make it as a model in New York City. She's an ordinary girl with an extraordinary body. She learns by watching other models, but she also knows that photographers will insist on gratifying their own pleasure if she's to get the jobs. With a voice-over narration supplying all the commentary, we watch her six-month descent, from first jobs to wild parties, from drug use to seduction. "Pain is their pastime," says the narrator. How far will the degradation take Rita?

Perfect for the raincoat crowd

I think this will be it for the exploration to see what played in Times Square grindhouse in the sixties.

This is perfect grindhouse fare. The drug-induced orgies that are part and parcel of the photographers and models who seek pleasure in whatever form. It's all her for those who enjoy boobies and asses and fruit fetishism (Oh! what that girl did with a banana!) and a little S&M thrown in for the folks that get off on that.

All comes to a crashing end as one model turns on two others with a meat cleaver. Did she pick that up at the store on the way or does she carry it around in her purse?

No dialog, except for the narrator; this was just pure bodies in motion for your enjoyment.
