The large cast milling about Leo Genn's Soho burlesque joint The Pink Flamingo (including a poignant cameo by John Salew as a lonely German toy salesman) manages to include both Christopher Lee and Babs Windsor (the latter playing a minor, which shows how long ago this was made); although sadly they don't share any scenes.
Jayne Mansfield is the one billed above the title but she's offscreen much of the time, and the actual lead is Genn himself, cast well against type as a tough guy hero.
The film otherwise teams largely with busty fifties starlets in sweaters, slacks and leotards; and there's even a catfight between two of them. But sadly most of the available prints are in black & white, since the original embellishment of gaudy late fifties Eastman Color must have made Otto Heller's already vivid photography a real visual treat.
