A melancholic farce .....


Dear Mel Frohman,

I liked the story - A couple of female wrestlers and their manager on the road, traveling to various shows and their hardships portrayed humorously. Peter Falk looked like a working class man. Vicki Fredrick and Lauren Landon were gorgeous. I liked the melancholic stories that Peter Falk told the two wrestlers while they drove around in the car. While I'm no expert on Italian opera, the music played while they were on the road was novel. It seemed like you and the director were trying to underline the fact that you guys were not a couple of dunces. The wrestling bouts were quite long and did not add much to the film. I do not understand the people who call this film an exploitation flick because it was not erotic or anything. But the film is still quite interesting because who would make a film like this in this day and age. The film is not without its flaws. Like I said, the wrestling scenes do go on for too long and are farcical. But the film is quite melancholic as well. I was reminded of the Clint Eastwood film - Every Which Way But Loose.

Best Regards,
Pimpin.
