The Computers (1982)


(Original Title: Las computadoras) Another Mexican film in the "cine de ficheras" genre - which means lots of music, dancing, tons of stars and an endless parade of T&A. Starring the usual including Angélica Chain, Jeannette Mass, Isaura Espinoza and Rebeca Silva.




 The setting for most of the film is around the elaborate burlesque performances by the Vedettes .

 I normally get bored with movies which spend so much time centering on the stage performances - but these are so bizarre and kitschy, I was transfixed.

 Of course, I could have done without the intermittent musical acts.

 Angélica Chain and Rebeca Silva are stars of the club

 We're treated to oddball characters like this.  Several notable Mexican comedians make appearances, but their talents are largely wasted.

 The real star of the film is this cigarette girl (? actress) who walks around basically completely nude wearing only a sheer body stocking throughout the film.


 The gist of the movie is that these burlesque performers also serve as prostitutes, matched with dudes using this "high tech" computer system.

Chatanuga as the owner of the business with Jeannette Mass, always a reliable source of full frontal nudity.


 Angélica Chain falls in love with one of the customers.

 The ladies are tuckered out after a long day of whoring and drinking.

 Grace Renat doing her job.


 This guy likes to role play; here as superman, and later as a vampire.


 Isaura Espinoza doing her thing.

And Mireya Cantú doing her thing with an old geezer.

 She adjusts the tally on the mirror.

 Rebeca Silva is thrown a party and will be leaving the club.



 Her farewell performance.



 Angélica Chain does her headline act, which involves her being spread eagle while gaily dressed men spin her around.



 This old dude fucking dies.




There's a plot in here somewhere, but it's basically irrelevant.  It's all about the stage performances and the smattering of comedic prostitution scenes. A pretty bad waste of talents from the likes of
Angélica Chain and  Rebeca Silva, but standard fare for cine de ficheras

Double Feature: Pair with another cine de ficheras flick Muñecas de medianoche (1979)

★★★★☆
