Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaFilmed in 1960, but not released until May 1962.
- Crazy creditsApart from the opening title, there are no other credits. An announcer says that the film is so important, there is no time for them. He runs through the leading actors and the director over the opening scene of the picture. A credit scroll does appear at the end.
Featured review
Discussing the plot of this indecipherable mishmash of bad acting, phony accents and glued on facial hair would be completely pointless. Filmed shortly after Fidel Castro had risen to power, somebody must have thought that having a cigar smoking guy in a beard and flat-topped hat, barking out orders in a Colonel Klinkish manner, would be funny enough in itself to sustain an entire hour's worth of entertainment. Needless to say, it isn't.
Although this film is listed as being in color, the public domain version I checked out at the library was in black & white. This probably diminished the one thing it had going for it...some nice scenery.
Finally, I should mention that the title has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the plot. No "Girls" are "Taking Over" anything. I guess the only way they could think of to promote this pile of crap was to emphasize the fact that it does include a few pretty señoritas in bare midriffs.
