Curiosidades
Carol Doda was already a popular waitress-dancer at the Condor Club in 1964 North Beach when its publicist suggested she wear a "monokini," the topless women's swimsuit just launched by designer Rudi Gernreich. Doda immediately agreed. That caused an huge sensation, spurring widespread imitation, in addition to arrests and lawsuits. The same happened five years later when she pioneered a "bottomless" performance, though that time she did not ultimately triumph in court.

Rollicking documentary about the birth of topless dancing in 1964 SF

As "Carol Doda Topless at the Condor" (2023 release; 101 min) opens, we are in "San Francisco, 1964", and it is clear this is a swinging town. We get to know Carol Doda, as she starts at the Condor night club as a waitress. George 'n Teddy was the musical act (we get to see a picture when George 'n Teddy meet the Beatles, yes THE Beatles). At this point we are 10 minutes into the documentary.

Couple of comments: I found this documentary super entertaining and enjoyable for a number of reasons. First and foremost, the film makes stopped no efforts to dig out archive footage form that era, and as a result do a great job what life was like in San Francisco in the early 60's. At one point, we are reminded that the 1964 Republican Convention (a/k/a the Barry Goldwater Convention) took place at the Cow Palace in San Francisco. Can you imagine? Another interesting thing is that apparently topless went mainstream following Carol Doda's breakthrough, and you could find topless everything, even a topless band (called the Ladybirds). Absolutely crazy.

"Carol Doda Topless at the Condor" apparently was released in 2023. If it was in theaters at all, I missed it. I happened to stumble on it the other night while browsing Amazon Prime. The movie is currently rated 96% Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, and for good reason. If you have any interest in the counter-culture of the early 60s in San Francisco, I'd readily suggest you check it out, and draw your own conclusion.
