For the love of God, take me back to the Sixties when women
dressed like women. Well, except for the Manson Family.
Carol Doda Topless, At The Condor, the ode to the woman, and
to 1960s San Francisco where she broke out topless, opens Friday in limited
release in New York, LA, San Francisco and San Rafael.
From the Carol Doda Movie website: Against the backdrop of
the 1964 Republican Convention, a San Francisco cocktail waitress became one of
the city’s most popular entertainers after making her debut as America’s first
topless dancer.
The new documentary Carol Doda Topless at the Condor tells
the story of the fresh-faced girl next door who defied convention and the law
by gyrating atop a white baby grand piano and turning a North Beach nightclub
into the city’s second-most-popular tourist attraction after the Golden Gate
Bridge.
Meanwhile, Doda’s very public use of silicone to enhance her
breasts launched a new industry. Directors Marlo McKenzie and Jonathan Parker
share an unprecedented look at Doda’s life and legacy, as well as a
behind-the-scenes tour of the vibrant, sometimes outrageous, and always
entertaining world of North Beach.
