"Have a ball with this slam-bang, wisecracking, fanciful comedy!" - NY TIMES
Take a walk on the wild side with this off-beat, critically acclaimed excursion into the world of professional female wrestling. Peter Falk turns in the funniest performance of his career as he and a pair of tag-team beauties set out to make their zany, improbable dream come true. It's the tag-team crown they're after - and there are no holds barred.
"The California Dolls" (Vicki Frederick and Laurene Landon) look like anything but wrestlers. . .until they get in the ring. Their manager (Falk) hopes to promote them to the top - with some fast talking, a flair for showbiz, and a crooked pair of dice. The unlikely trio go lurching around the highways in a beat-up car, going from one tank-town arena to another before they get their shot at the big time.
Directed by Robert ("Dirty Dozen") Aldrich with his usual flair for action, the film builds to a stirring climax as the girls go for the crown in Reno. With top-notch acting and a winning script. The Claifornia Dolls "tingles with excitement, razzle - dazzle, and should be one of the biggest crowd-pleasers of the season!" (Gannett Newspaper).
