Xaviera y sus pupilas

This movie purports to show us the background to how the orginal "Happy Hooker" movie was made (with Lynn Redgrave in the original). Hollywood parties abound with producers telling Xavier how successful the movie will be. Imn fact, both movie, this and original look like they were made on about $30 budget, with compellingly awful 1970's cheapo production values. Martine Beswick has a nice figure, but hardly worth the intellectual insult required to make it to those scenes. Absolutely ghastly in about every sense.

How do you give a logical review to such a silly movie? The "funny" part is that it actually tries to be serious at times. Though the Happy Hooker is pleasant to look at (since she's nude most of the time)the rest is a BORE. Poor Adam West, (TV's Batman) proves once again he can't get a good part. Leap'n Lizards Batman!

This is the only one in the series I've seen. Maybe I'd like it if that wasn't so. I researched the woman and the book briefly before putting this on; it's considered to be an important part of why sex became a less strained subject(although we appear to be moving backwards on that now, as more people are focusing on their careers than their love-lives), and I can certainly appreciate that. But this is 81 minutes of crap. It has nothing to say(other than perhaps "Hollywood is sleazy", however, even in 1980, that was old news, downright ancient), it has no purpose, and other than camp, it has nothing to offer the viewer. Well, T&A, obviously, though hardly any of it is erotic or attractive(it seems to be played for laughs, instead). This is about making a film out of the novel... you know, what the first of these movies were. That right there is way too complex and meta for this. I'm not saying something like this can't be smart, no, I'm pointing out that it insists that it can't be. Other than one, *maybe* two lines in this whole thing, the dialog is embarrassing and awful. Too little in this is rational; why would the producer think a picture claiming that the Church is responsible for her prostitution would do well, wouldn't they barely be able to release it? Did these three earn a lot? I hear that this is the best, the one that is put together with most skill, and that is just depressing. The acting is terrible and flat(I guess Batman *wasn't* gay... huh). Every joke and gag is powerfully unfunny, and this literally uses the freakin' "waaah-waaah"-trumpet, yeugh. This uses exaggerated cartoon sound effects. No, I've seen worse, I've hated flicks to a greater extent than this, but that's like saying that there are worse, smellier garbage dumps out there. There is some nudity and getting' it on in this. Only about half of it is hot. I recommend this to... I don't know, fans of the first two, and of exploitation cinema. 1/10

"The Happy Hooker Goes Hollywood" was one of the first movies made by notorious producers Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus after they took over Cannon Studios. Even at this stage, they showed here that they could make a decent-looking movie on a low budget (it has the highest production values of the trilogy). There is also a lot of nudity and sex - I think it's safe to say this movie has more sex and nudity than the first two movies combined. And the script has some amusing in-jokes (Silvers' character name "Warkoff" is obviously a sly send-up of B movie producer Samuel Z. Arkoff.)

Unfortunately, despite all this, the movie still doesn't add up to much. There may be all that sex and nudity, but it's directed with such an innocent attitude that it's not the least bit erotic. Silvers is wasted in a role that obviously didn't take long to film. West seems very embarrassed (his career was still in the toilet at the time.) But the biggest problem is that the movie doesn't have that much story. There's only half a story here, the rest being obvious filler.

Only for Golan and Globus fanatics who are determined to watch everything they produced.

The film here is about The Happy Hooker book being transformed into a movie with the help of the author's prostitutes. OK movie with a bunch of filler scenes and a lot of nudity.
