Skyscrapers and Brassieres

I really wish this was available as an extra on DVD as it is my all time favorite short. Russ Meyer had a great sense of humor and this file shows it well. If you ever get to see it , you will have spent 10 minutes in heaven.

Basically, it is shot silent and narrated with tongue firmly in cheek. It starts out with a busty (but saggy) woman walking along the street as the narrator talks about the engineering of skyscrapers. She spies a "while you wait" custom bra shop and goes in to get fitted. Needless to say, the fitter jiggles her breasts a lot more than necessary!

After putting on the bra, she walks out with her "bird dog" bra (the kind that makes pointers out of setters!!!).

I haven't seen this picture in 40 years and remember it as if it were yesterday (or maybe 20 years ago, anyway).

I wasn't aware of this Russ Meyer movie short. I won't describe it ... that's already been done here. But it's delightful. As an engineering student in the early 70s, there was a "paper" on the stresses on a strapless bra. The narration reminded me of that "paper" and my mechanics of solids class. It's a fun little film for anyone, but if you any background in engineering, it's even funnier.
