GIRL IN GOLD BOOTS is another dreadful film from cult film-maker Ted V. Mikels and possibly even worse than his usual fare, which at least had the distinction of being horror or science fiction efforts with the occasionally inspired lunacy that those genres bring. By contrast, GIRL IN GOLD BOOTS has absolutely no idea of what it actually wants to be.The film's protagonist - played by the entirely wooden and talent-free Jody Daniels - decides to make something of her life, so she moves to Los Angeles and becomes a go-go dancer in a deadbeat bar. Go figure. Lots of musical scenes and endless loops of girls dancing around while wearing very little is the end result of this production, which takes patience-testing to the next level. An occasional random action scene is thrown into the mix in a bid to keep viewers watching, but it's all so dreadful but even the most ardent of exploitation fans will be bored out of their brains by this one.

BORING! Boring, boring, boring. That single word, repeated over and over in absurdum would describe The Girl in Gold Boots better than better than any well formulated sentences. The movie has no plot, the characters are uninteresting, the dialog is mundane, it is all very very boring. I very nearly fell asleep while watching this thing, and that usually never happens to me.There's nothing more to say really, save that some filler text in this review holds more interest than the whole movie. Actually there is one thing, it is very forgettable as well, barely a day after I saw it, I cannot recall a single thing, that's how uninteresting it was.

This film revolves around the misadventures of a young women, who seeks stardom as a go-go dancer in late-60s Hollywood. Since I couldn't get rent the original version of this movie, I had to settle for the MST3k version. I wish I would've gotten to see the film, without the incredibly annoying patter from the MST3k crew!This film pulls no punches, as it exposes the seedy underbelly of Hollywood's go-go dancing circuit. It showcases a cavalcade of dancers who are desperate to stay on top, and how the dancing business can destroy their lives. Plenty of these bawdy, uninhibited women, led shallow existences behind their sexy facades. It's a sad way to live for most of them, as the young woman who aspires to a career as a go-go dancer, ultimately realizes.Despite this film's humorless essence, it maintains a definite element of camp overall. Mostly, it manages to be both depressing and amusing, at the same time. Though it's not one of the best 60s B movies, it's fair-to-middling entertainment.

I absolutely love this movie, I don't know why. It's terrible in all of its parts. I've seen epileptics who have better dance moves than the title character and the girl Michelle. The songs are mediocre at best, the continuity and editing are both terrible, almost everybody in the film is oily looking and/or ugly, and there is no plot to speak of whatsoever. That said, for some reason despite these things(or maybe because of them), this movie is hilarious. The MST3K version is a delight, although something tells me that I'd still laugh a lot just watching it uncut. Michelle is not only the most untalented dancer that I've ever seen, she is dumber than a bag of hammers. 'Critter' is blandly good looking and not very talented at his chosen craft either. Buzz is a horrible little greaseball, and yet Michelle shacks up with him because he promises her that he can help her become a dancer with the aid of his drugged out sister(who also is a completely untalented dancer). But then, considering her disgusting drunker father, who she was still living and working with even though she had to be in her mid-twenties at least - Michelle does not have good taste in men or the brains to know when its a bad idea to shack up with a guy who carries a gun and pistol whips people with it at the drop of a hat. They all get mixed up with an oily drug dealer, and Buzz ends up killing a guy over heroin. He just gets better and better! The immensely lame 'plot' sort of trails off, as Critter goes off to fight in Vietnam after pummeling Buzz and Leo half to death. This after many, many horrible scenes of Michelle and/or Buzz's sister dancing. Stupid, completely stupid. But somehow, delightfully so. Makes me laugh every time I watch it.
