    Where to Watch

Routine slapstick about a stripper turned college professor (Mamie Van Doren) whose presence disrupts the campus. Tuesday Weld, Mickey Shaughnessy. Suzanne: Mijanou Bardot. Zorch: Louis Nye. Dr. Carter: Pamela Mason. George: Martin Milner. Also known as "Sex Kittens Go to College." Directed by Albert Zugsmith.

Some big names can't save this farce about beauty and brains. Van Doren is a stripper with a high IQ who is selected by a robot to run a college science department. Strutting their stuff in tight sweaters along with Doren are Weld, Bardot (Brigitte's sister), and Vampira. Coogan, a child star of the 1920s, stars as a Texas millionaire, and Conway Twitty appears and croons a couple of songs. The interesting cast also includes the sons of two great silent comedians, Charles Chaplin and Harold Lloyd.
