The female lead of this cheap piece of erotica looks like an inquisitive cocker spaniel. In the very first scene she is lying in bed. Her lipstick is so overdone I thought she was a man with a heavy moustache. She works in a burlesque scum pit somewhere in the French Quarter of New Orleans. The emcee of the big show is someone named Pat Patrick. His jokes don't work so well on the audience. There are cheeky little tease acts accompanied by the usual cheesy combo. That's pretty much the whole movie, except for a dumb framing device involving a boyfriend. As someone else pointed out, this sort of film was made as adult entertainment to be viewed at actual burlesque houses. As such, it's an interesting historical watch.

Boring, useless even at the time

Before public exhibition of porn and before the soft-core sex craze of the '60s, junk like "Naughty New Orleans" was shown at burlesque houses and at the forerunners of Adult movie theaters. I'm a generation too young to have been part of the audience, but feel sorry for erotica-seekers of the period served up such low- grade material.
The storyline concerning Julianne and her boyfriend who must leave for New York in five hours is just a momentary excuse for showing something like 50 burlesque acts, starring brunette Stormy and many others. The emcee is Pat Patrick, quite unfunny. Corny gimmick is that Julianne's b.f. doesn't know she works as a stripper at a night club, but finds out as a patron.
The girls are not beautiful, the dancing mediocre and the actual skin shown minimal. At a theater this would be classified as a "chaser" - to encourage stay- all-day patrons to go home, rather than suffering through it to get to something better live or perhaps another movie.
Something Weird has preserved this for posterity in a 65-minute video version, but needn't have bothered.
Only point of interest for me is editor Igo Kantor- checking his credits over many decades he worked, mostly composing music, with a who's who of low-rent independents, ranging from Arch Oboler and Ed Wood to Harry Hurwitz and Russ Meyer, and even produced latter-day efforts by Bob Hope and Jerry Lewis. Proof of my continuum theory of the Entertainment world, which we insist on segmenting into Mainstream, Adult, Major Studios, Indies, etc., etc.
