Viewing Notes
aka Girls of the Secret Club
Found this title when I was looking for early Seijun Suzuki films. Makes sense this would pop because it has a lot in common with his films. what is most interesting is that this is an early Teruo Ishii film that touches on some the seedy and exploitive elements he would become known for in the late sixties and early seventies.
I like this movie a lot. It involves a call girl group in which a few also have regular daytime office jobs. The women want to have leverage but ultimately cannot overcome the control of the yakuza who manage the groups.
