The Yum Yum Girls
BandSAboutMovies19 August 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Melody (Michelle Daw, a one and done sex symbol) has just got off the bus from Ohio to Manhattan, but she's no ingenue or doe-eyed innocent. Then again, she refuses to put out after a date and gets assaulted by a man who tells her that she "shouldn't have eaten the hamburger."

For those of us who grew up watching Cinemax after 1 AM on a Friday, this film has appearances by Tanya Roberts and Judy Landers.

Director Barry Rosen only made one other movie, but it's Devil's Express, and anyone that had the ability to cast Brother Theodore and Warhawk Tanzania knows something. This was written by Philli Levy, his only script, but oddly the man who typed the words to this sex farce would later be in bit parts in Sleepless In Seattle and The Curse of the Jade Scorpion. He was joined in writing this by Robert Jahn, who also wrote The Immoral Three and Bloodrage.

What makes this movie magical is this Ginger Lynn Allen intro, which made this one of her few VHS releases that you didn't have to walk behind the magical adult section doors to rent and watch.

Assistant Film Editor - On Movie
debidandelion8 January 2006
It's your old friend Debi Zimmerman - Assistant Film Editor e-mailing to say hi to all my friends on the crew especially Joe Zito the real editor, Steven Wexler, Jim, and of course Bobby Zito. It was a zany time in the editing room at 1600 Broadway, New York. The editing was top-notch and Joe Zito was inspirational. We worked really hard. We enjoyed every minute of it. Check out the part in the film where they interview some women and the women pop on and off the screen. It's very cool. I haven't seen this editing style more than a few times ever. Thanks to the Carnegie Deli and the delivery woman we survived the long hours. I have changed my name to Debi Weinberg and I opened my own film company Dandelion Film Productions. Hopefully I'll be doing something soon. Peace Debi

Better than you'd think!

Don't let the title fool you. This is not a porn film. In fact the title has little to do with the movie. It's about a small town girl (Michelle Dawn) who comes to New York City, hoping to become a fashion model, like millions of other pretty girls. She goes through the rigors of trying to get a portfolio done and become noticed by producers, some of whom are willing to help,,, for a price. Some of the scenes of girls auditioning for jobs are pretty funny. The producers are portrayed quiet accurately, sometimes a bit too accurately. The film is kind of depressing at times as the main character suffers a lot of pitfalls. Still, it's an interesting look at the modelling industry and fairly well done considering the amateur cast. Michelle Dawn is pretty good in the lead but oddly, never made another movie which is sad when you think of how many untalented actresses there are out there in TV and film,
