Interesting facts

Mondo Topless is a 1966 pseudo-documentary directed by Russ Meyer, featuring Babette Bardot and Lorna Maitland among others. It marked Meyer's return to color filmmaking following a two-year "Gothic period" of black-and-white "roughies" that were primarily marketed toward the drive-in theater circuit and deemphasized nudity and other sexual content in favor of exaggerated violence. While a straightforward sexploitation film, the film owes some debt to the French New Wave and cinéma vérité traditions, and is known to some under the titles Mondo Girls and Mondo Top.

Production

Meyer made the film after his "gothic period" - four dramatic movies he did in black and white, starting with Lorna and going through to Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!. It was shot to cash in on the San Francisco "topless boom" of the 1960s.
