I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Sinderella and the Golden Bra (1964) * 1/2 (out of 4) Prince David (David Duffield) can't seem to find a woman so his father decides to throw a ball and have every women in town attend. At the ball David falls for a beautiful young woman (Suzanne Sybele) but at the strike of midnight he loses contact with her. The only thing left behind is her golden bra.SINDERELLA AND THE GOLDEN BRA was one of a number of "fairy tales" that were given the nudie spin during the 1960s. If you're looking for the ultimate adult telling of Cinderella then you should check out the 1977 version. This one here features a few funny moments but for the most part it's pretty tame and is an incredibly soft R-rated film.I say soft because there's really not too much nudity. There's some at the start of the picture, which seems to be edited from another movie and then we get some towards the end as various women try on the bra. I feel sorry for people who paid to see this in a theater because they really didn't get their monies worth. The one saving grace in the film is the fact that there are some funny sound effects throughout and a few of the jokes worked as well.Sybele is mildly entertaining in the title role but the highlight is seeing Sydney Lassick in the role of the Fairy Godfather. Most people will remember him from playing Martini in ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST. As for this film, those interested in nudies will find it slightly interesting but most will want to stay away from it.

This is not much more than a cheesy stag-party film. Plenty of beautiful women with impressive breasts, briefly bared for the pleasure of the lusty audience. Loosely based on the children's classic, but hopelessly lost in dirty-old-man-land.The production values are minimal. Poor color (by Kodak) and even worse sound, both faded and crackled throughout. The actors appear to be of various European back ground, with various accents mingling about. The dialog and individual situations stray from the original story. Instead of a golden slipper, we have a golden bra, and taking the place of the Fairy Godmother is an effeminate elderly Fairy Godfather.There is one outstanding moment, completely unexpected for such a low quality film: Somewhere past the middle of the film, Sinderella sings the enchanting "My Day Will Come", a definite highlight in an otherwise forgettable movie. This film is recommended for fans of the old style cheesecake magazines. Those lusting after beautiful breasts will get an eye full. If you are looking for any other substance, Sinderella does not offer much.

Although this obviously isn't first class movie making, and the conscious jokes are mostly duds, this flick is worth seeing for its novelty and as a relic of a bygone era! I would venture to call this movie an attempt at a sophisticated sex comedy. The toplessness is remarkable for simultaneously being unabashedly gratuitous yet taking up such a small part of the film. In fact the breasts aren't even shown very closely, in one scene, at least. Seems the goal of the movie makers was to appeal both to an "art" film crowd and a nudie crowd. The musical numbers (yes, musical numbers!!!) and the costuming actually reflect a fair degree of ambitiousness. And the attention to the characters and to the spirit of the original fairy tale. At the same time the sound, acting and screenplay are all noticeably low budget. A quite odd bird for 21st century viewers! And I had a fine time watching it. It may be dumb, but it's entertaining!! And of course the concept is...classic.

When Milos Forman was casting the mental patients in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" he looked for unfamiliar faces. One of those who made the biggest impression was the remarkable Sydney Lassick. But it was not his first screen appearance. Ten years earlier he had played the Fairy Godfather in this ridiculous breast-obsessed nudie musical. Perhaps it is not surprising that it didn't lead to further movie parts. He apparently didn't make another movie until "Cuckoo's Nest".While Lassick provides the main curiosity value in a pretty terrible movie, the film as a whole does provide plenty of "what were they thinking!" entertainment value. The songs are terrible and it all comes across like a pantomime for intellectually challenged adults. There isn't even a hell of a lot of nudity, which after all was the main selling point. But it is unique.The trend for making "adult" versions of fairy stories, often with song and dance numbers, would continue, peaking in the late seventies with Albert Band's production of "Cinderella" (1977), which was much slicker than this one, but not necessarily any more entertaining.
