Here's a collage of the famous dancing Columbia Torch Lady, shown at the start of the film.

I'd love to see a montage of films that manipulated the "torch lady" image to fit the spirit of the film. Two others that come to mind: "Berserk" (where she loses her head) and "The Mouse That Roared" (where she runs to the podium to escape a mouse). I hear "Cat Ballou" has her as a gunslinger.

It wasn't Beserk, it was Joan Crawford's "Strait Jacket" where she is headless.

Yes, "Strait Jacket," not "Berserk." I stand corrected (and headless). I always get those two films mixed up.

I like them both, not great movies but both are campy fun. In Beserk it is too bad Joan's face didn't look as young as her legs.

I like 'em both as well. They're sort of predecessors to the '70s grindhouse films I can't get enough of. Then again, I like "Trog," so obviously, my taste is questionable.
