Redundant and unnecessary.
It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.
Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
After seeing The Golden Mistress, I can not understand why she did not become a really big star!The story line is totally politically incorrect but the movie is a vehicle to show the photogenic actress in various stages of undress.Really, worth a viewing.
