Mondo Topless is a 1966 pseudo-documentary directed by Russ Meyer, featuring Babette Bardot and Lorna Maitland among others. It marked Meyer's return to color filmmaking following a two-year "Gothic period" of black-and-white "roughies" (most notably Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! [1965]) that were primarily marketed toward the drive-in theater circuit and deemphasized nudity and other sexual content in favor of exaggerated violence. While a straightforward sexploitation film, the film owes some debt to the French New Wave and cinéma vérité traditions, and is known to some under the titles Mondo Girls and Mondo Top.
Its tagline: "Two Much For One Man...Russ Meyer's Busty Buxotic Beauties ... Titilating ... Torrid ... Untopable ... Too Much For One Man!"
The film was banned in Finland.
