Good Time with a Bad Girl

Good Time With a Bad Girl (1967)

* 1/2 (out of 4)

A business man (Lucky Kargo), unhappy in his marriage, has his plane land in Las Vegas where he ends up getting stranded for the night. He eventually runs into a high school drop-out who is new in town and soon the two strike up a friendship. Before long he has to ask himself whether or not he should have an affair.

This Barry Mahon film certainly isn't as campy as some of his movies but there are enough interesting moments to make it worth viewing if you're into these type of grade Z exploitation movies. This one here features plenty of female nudity so the rain coat crowd will certainly be pleased with it, although I must admit that the story itself rarely makes too much sense.

Obviously the main goal was to show off naked women and on that level the film is a major success. Those going into seedy theaters to see nudity were taken good care of. I also thought Kargo turned in a pretty good performance and the film at least runs at a good pace and with a 59 minute running time it doesn't overstay its welcome.

What can I say, if your taking the time to look up information on sleaze like this, you obviously have something wrong. But I'd be doing same thing, so allow me to tell you of this little diddy. Begining with the shot of a topless womens chest as she dances to jazz music, GOOD TIMES WITH A BAD GIRL goes down hill, (or uphill depending on your point of view) from that point on.

A middle aged business man takes a trip Las Vegas, and promptly shacks up a vivacious young girl. They get in the hot tub, sleep together, and go to a swinging party. What more can you want? A plot, good acting, syncronized dialogue? Well your not going to get it here!

This late 1960's exploitation film is REALLY the bottom of the barrel. The main plot was a good idea for this type of flick, but the results are unbearably boring and painful to watch. The entire film is post-dubbed which is not that unusual, but the sound and picture quality are abysmal and the "performances" are not up to snuff, even with this genre of film.

The lead girl is particularly horrifying. The tormented despairing souls in this do not deserve empathy or the mind-crushing symbolism hinted at by the narration of the main guy. Set in Las Vegas, you get a few nice shots of "old" Vegas, but there's nothing to recommend this tripe. Spam-tasting monotony that wears on the nerves. Forget this one!

A middle aged businessman has a stop over in Las Vegas. There he meets Susan, a young woman with no morals (as the voice over narration tells us). He wonders if he should have sex with her and cheat on his wife...but is it worth it?

Slow, padded (ENDLESS shots of Susan walking down the street and taking off her clothes) and generally stupid movie. Even for a 60s sleaze movie this is pretty horrible. This was just made to show off nude woman which we see again...and again...and AGAIN!!!! Gets boring quick. The acting is horrid, the dialogue stupid and Susan is really pretty ugly. The film is also hypocritical giving us a little "moral" message after shoving nude women in our faces. Add shaky camera-work and bad post-syncing and you got a bottom of the barrel piece of junk here. Avoid.

Better than average low-budget sexploitation flick about a middle-aged married man stopping over in Las Vegas and hooking up with a 17-year-old runaway with no morals. She's a cute teen with no shame about her body who thinks everything is "groovy" and quickly gets on his nerves after a night of passion. But she gets him to take her to what turns into the only orgy ever with too few men.

The acting is weak, and the audio is lousy, but where else can you find late-60s girl-girl vintage vibrating massager action? I ask you, where? Unfortunately, our protagonist is a depressing prude and nearly jinxes all our fun. Man, what a square.

But all the tawdry partying among complete--and sometimes faceless--strangers gets old fast. Our bad girl has her good time and tries to return to her sugar daddy, with predictable results.

Dull-witted, yes, but delivers what it promises.
