Featured review
Well, that's ONE way to get rid of a bill collector!
"What, No Men?" is an incredibly frustrating film to watch. After all, it starts off wonderfully and then just loses its way...especially each time when the singing starts!
The story begins with a room of brilliant scientists. A bill collector (El Brendel) arrives...and it's an opportune time to test out their rocket ship. Inexplicably, they also toss a policeman (Phil Regan) inside as well. Soon the pair blast off and arrive (with wires if you look carefully) in the old west in this Flash Gordon inspired ship. There, they find a lot of very frisky American Indian ladies who want them in the worst possible way. The Medicine Woman, in particular, is infatuated with the pipsqueak bill collector. They hightail it out of there and arrive in town...a place also almost entirely made up of hot and semi-hot women who are aching for the guys...even the pipsqueak.
The film starts off with a great premise. The problem with this lovely to look at color short film is that whenever the plot starts getting funny, the folks would break into song...and the momentum would be totally lost. Plus, what followed the rocket blast off never really took advantage of the great situation....and it really lost its way later in the picture. This made it a very frustrating film to watch, as I really wanted to love it but couldn't.
If you see the film, pay close attention to the medicine woman. Although she's not listed in the credits, it sure sounded like Marjorie Main.
