Sex Kittens Go to College

This is a ridiculous film that was on TCM. A different sort of "classic." Somewhat strangely, it was on at around 7 A.M. This is late-night fare.

Mamie Van Doren (Wikipedia tells me she is still alive and in her 90s) plays a former stripper who is the surprise new brainy professor at a college. Tuesday Weld, a serious actress, played a student, as did Brigitte Bardot's sister. One of the "hey! it's that guy!" roles was played by someone many know from the Addams Family (1960s version).  

Van Doren has a dance routine at one point, but overall plays it fairly "straight" in this film. Much of the movie is badly acted and written "comedy" material. Then, late in the film, in the most gratuitous way possible (it appears to be a robot's dreams), there is a series of topless women. 

Not quite what you expect on TCM at shortly before 9 A.M. I figure various cuts of this film do not have this sequence. After that scene, we go back to the movie for a largely tacked-on conclusion. 

The whole thing has some "so bad it's good" value, but at some point it is rather dull.  The nudity is a surprise. The Wikipedia summary does not even discuss that part of the film. Again, I think some cuts of the film just leave the whole thing out. 

I think Mamie Van Doren, as a brain blonde bombshell, does an okay job. She has a blog, and the last entry is at the end of 2023. Good to know her political bona fides seem to be reasonable.
