The most amazing thing about this movie is the way it's been used elsewhere -- on MST3K and in a U2 music video, for starters. Jean Fontaine in ridiculous clothing runs a "smut" photo and film industry, consisting of girls being photographed in bathingsuits (often one-piece!) or filmy dressing gowns. The result of seeing "smut" is the immorality of the youngsters in the town, ranging from fistfights to homicidal tendencies. Worth seeing if you're interested in sociology, for a view of a 1950s attitude towards sex and morality, but doesn't even have entertainment value for anyone else.
