***SPOILERS** Contains the complete story….

Hot Blooded Woman (1965)

Dir: Dale Berry.

Myrtle Pennypacker (played by Beverly Oliver, who was a close friend of 'Gemma' the disappeared Stripper from Jack Ruby's club, and who was herself a witness to JFK's murder and can be seen in the Zapruder footage) is the 'Hot Blooded Woman' of the title and we first see her whistling a happy tune before being pounced on by a big hillbilly and his friends.
At first fighting but then embracing her in-bred attacker, sexual playtime is stopped by Myrtle's Hubby, George (who packs a mean Ricky Nelson type quiff).
George, after a brave fight, (with out of the place Jazz tunes being the ONLY thing heard, as this flick was not shot with live sound), gets punched out. The Hillbillies laugh to themselves and walk away.
George grabs the half-undressed Myrtle and declares "What I need is a good, stiff snort".

Myrtle it seems does this kind of thing often, and is sent to a Psychologist whose voiceover fills in details of Myrtle; her Parents were "Carried off by the pox", she then "Fell from the grasp of lecherous young blades into the clutches of dirty old men". Poor dear.

Put under hypnosis (via a badly waved necklace) we delve into Myrtle's past…..

When she met George all seemed well. The Doc informs us that "They made love as simply and directly as two beautiful children in paradise". Cue some coy kissing and fondling with George sporting some typically bad 60's underwear.

Sadly the Wedding night became "A night of searing tragedy" when George decides he's not in the mood for loving. And even the romantic line uttered by Myrtle, "You missed a spot when you shaved", can do nothing to interest him. "Leave me alone Myrtle" he shouts and promptly steals all the bed covers!

Myrtle smokes a whole pack of cigarettes, takes a knife from the kitchen and sticks it in the lump in the bed she assumes is George. But George (obviously using his mighty ESP powers) is hiding in the cupboard with a suitably shocked look on his face.

Next thing Myrtle is shown doing a (seemingly endless) bit of cheesy, boogie on down, dancing on the bar of a club, all short skirt and tight blouse.
She dances to the title song "Hot Blooded Woman" being performed by a house band who do not even have a singer! Just an empty mike stand! Yet the voice croons on!

Soon a fight breaks out when a tart with big hair flirts with George, "I'll teach you to touch my man" shrieks Myrtle, and a funny cat fight breaks out. So funny in fact that both actresses are clearly laughing their heads off in certain shots!

Soon however Myrtle is serving George his food wearing only her underwear and a little apron, and all seems well again.

But we have another seemingly endless sequence of a Woman smoking, drinking, going to the bathroom, drinking, stripping off her top (our first nekkid breasts in the flick, with nipples that could poke out your eyes), drinking, smoking, taking a bath (with a discreet 'blink and you miss it' glimpse of pubic hair), drying off, and getting dressed again.
After all this we discover her sole purpose in the film is to make a phone call to Myrtle telling her that George has been playing away from home with two other Women.
With a "Bye Bye pussycat" our chain smoking alcoholic is out of the movie.

Confronted, George says it was only a one off and that he will never do it again. Myrtle pulls all kinds of crazy faces and sticks her chin out. She is not impressed.
George, loving Husband that he is, promptly pushes Myrtle to the floor and slaps her hard around the face a few times. This sign of affection wins Myrtle over.

Our Doc decides that Myrtle should be locked up, especially for attacking poor old Wife beating, unfaithful George.
Next thing Myrtle is waving her legs around and being sedated in the local Mental Hospital. That she is brought in an Ambulance with 'CAMP' stenciled on the side does indeed speak volumes!

One day, as another Woman patient hugs a rolled up blanket like it's her baby, Myrtle knocks out the Nurse (who sports looks like two huge black caterpillars on her face instead of eyebrows) and escapes, stopping only to pray to an effigy of Jesus on the Cross.

A Detective (who's car radio seems to be a hairbrush) and George are dispatched to track Myrtle down.
She hides in a junkyard, and after knocking out the gun-toting owner (only in America would a junk owner be armed!) takes his weapon in hand (as it were) and flees.
She is spotted by George who tries to reason with her, but just then the Detective appears, "Drop that gun you broad" he shouts. A startled Myrtle shoots at the Detective who, despite her gun never actually firing, proceeds to bounce painfully off a car and collapse to the floor.
The Detective is only wounded however and plugs poor misunderstood Myrtle.
"Oh my God! Baby! Baby" whines George as he cradles the dying 'Hot Blooded Woman' in his scummy arms.
THE END………..

Beverly Oliver is now an Evangelist who tours America with her Husband……Somewhere good people, there is a lesson here for us all.
