Girl Fever

For a movie where the leading character, a variety show producer (played in boring fashion by comedian Count Gregory), is searching for talent and a star, it is disappointing that he finds none. The parade of grade-D performers trotted out here is merely embarrassing.

Producer-director Sherman Price is associated with nudie/cutie films, those softcore artifacts of the '60s, and this one was aimed at the "Adult" theater and burlesque house market. It features a few striptease dancers who wear pasties, but is clearly G-rated by modern standards and lacks the titillation that exploitation/nostalgia fans crave.

Best performer is Choo Choo Collins, a busty singer who I hadn't seen before, despite her several bookings on the TV talk/variety show circuit in the '60s, including notably Regis Philbin, Merv Griffin and Jerry Lester's show. Worst performer is a nonentity George Camarinos -not an Elvis impersonator but worse, just an Elvis ripoff.

Production values are poor, music lousy, and various comedy skits all groaners.
