HOW TO SUCCEED WITH GIRLS

Cinemavixion Review

Edward A. Biery's 1964 "How to Succeed with Girls" presents a curious blend of courtroom drama and behind-the-scenes peep show, framed through the lens of Judge Goodbody's peculiar jurisdiction. The narrative centers on the alleged voyeuristic activities of the 'Peeping Phantom' and the testimonies of chorus girls, with a surprising twist when the Phantom himself offers his account. While the film may not have achieved widespread critical acclaim, its unique premise and the early appearance of Rue McClanahan offer a noteworthy glimpse into the era's B-movie landscape. The film's playful exploration of voyeurism, set against a theatrical backdrop, invites viewers to consider the blurred lines between observation and participation in the world of performance.
