Gotta love TCH, especially the scene in the ambulance!
SATAN IN HIGH HEELS (1961). A discontented Burlesque dancer connives money from her drug addicted ex-Husband and heads to the Big Apple for fame and fortune. So what that she basically (and there really is no other way I can put this
) shits on anybody who might try to help her? She's gonna be a Star!-one way or the other.
Extremely lurid, in fact, You say it is SHOWGIRLS way before SHOWGIRLS. Meg Myles, an extremely voluptuous Pin Up model from the mid-late 50's isn't bad here, although the camera seems to make her look older than she was at the time (late20's-very early 30's). She chews the scenery well and does a couple of songs- in real life, Meg did a few Torch Music recordings, appeared in COOGAN'S BLUFF and many Soap operas /Off Broadway plays.
Also of interest for Me, is Grayson Hall (nominated a couple of years for Best Supporting Actress in NIGHT OF THE IGUANA and TV's DARK SHADOWS) and Del Tenny as a Piano player. Del also helped with Direction and later filmed cult classics HORROR OF PARTY BEACH, CURSE OF THE LIVING CORPSE and I EAT YOUR SKIN.
Finally, I don't think k I've seen a movie where there is so much smoking
