Revenge of the Virgins

Henry Darrow, who is best known for his awful acting, horribly fake Spanish accent, and bowl haircut when he played Manolito Montoya on High Chapparral; made his screen debut among bouncing breasts in Revenge of the Virgins.

Like the stories in hundreds of other movies and TV Westerns, the white guys are on Indian land trying to steal Indian gold. The only difference in this movie is that the Indians are all topless women. These girls are pretty cute, and they love to dance around topless. They also like to kill any whites that come to their land to find gold. That is gist of the story.

The only reason to fast forward through this movie is for the scenes of the Indian girls. The movie ratings system was not instituted until 1968, or this would have been rated R. The only other notable fact about this movie is that it was written by the notorious Ed Wood, Jr.

Let's not beat around the busy--this isn't a Howard Hawks or John Ford film. If you're a normal person with pedestrian tastes then go find an episode of Bonanza to watch. For the rest of you though....

Revenge of the Virgins is a sublime nudie-cutie written by the great Ed Wood and directed by Peter Perry Jr who would later go on to produce the fantastic steaming pile of trash "Hollywood High" in 1976.

The acting is about as poor as you could hope for, and the breasts are above average. It's like alchemy!

The plot is pedestrian and could easily have been culled from a long forgotten TV Western...prospector leads a party into Indian territory to find gold, interpersonal conflicts threaten them from within while they are slowly hunted by natives. Except in this film, the natives are nude, buxom beauties.

Revenge of the Virgins is less than an hour long so don't waste any more time--go watch it.

Hot topless chicks in 1959! Just saw this movie on a PBS station.

A lousy movie. Looks like a 16mm print. The Indian girls are topless and when their ponytails aren't in the way you see some very pretty breasts. The first time I saw topless was in the movie "Blowup" in 1966. This might be the first topless movie. Although nothing shows down below, no panties are in evidence either. A curious film only because of the nudity. Not listed in the credits is Henry Darrow, I think. You might remember Henry Darrow from the TV show 'Harry O" If you get NY City TV stations look for this film on WLIW late at night.

REVENGE OF THE VIRGINS is an early skin flick that plays out as a cheapo western set in the great outdoors. The main characters are a group of gold prospectors including a grizzled old timer, a couple of youthful cowboys, and various others, all of whom are united in the fact that they're entirely boring and lacking in characterisation. They travel to an area said to contain substantial amounts of gold, but the problem for them is that said gold is protected by a murderous female Native American tribe.

This is where the nudity comes in. The women all run around topless and show off their flesh for their occasional scenes. There's no more story to that and otherwise the tale has the mild kind of violence you'd see in a B-movie western from the era. The production values are cheap and there's zero suspense or really any reason to watch as the acting is uniformly bad too. The script was written by the inimitable Ed Wood, who really was happy to put his name to any old nonsense.

Hard to believe 2 cinematographers receive credit for this. All medium shots, no closeups, and the camera stationary. Inter-cutting within a scene is almost non-existent. Everything feels like it's happening from a distance.

The music score by Gene Kauer was lifted from the previous years THE ASTOUNDING SHE-MONSTER to which he is also credited. Kenne Duncan who narrates this at the beginning and closing portion also acted in aforementioned film.

The print quality of the Something Weird Video release is flawless which shouldn't be too surprising as it's doubtful the negative received any wear and tear beyond generating a few prints for circulation at the time of it's release.
