Pin - Down Girl aka "Racket Girls"

Was not sure exactly what movie this was ...

Scalli is a gangster who manages women wrestlers as a front for his bookmaking, drug, and prostitution rackets. He trusts the wrong people and ends up trying to run away from both the police and mysterious mob boss Mr. Big, to whom he owes $35,000. This film features real-life wrestlers Peaches Page, Clara Mortensen (world champion wrestler), and Rita Martinez (champion of Mexico).

I met Peaches Page, though I didn't know at the time that she was THIS Peaches Page. She was living in Florida. Joe the Jockey from this movie had been a long time boyfriend. She had aged considerably but her presence was pretty much the same as in this movie. She was a very TALL woman. It was clear that she'd seen a lot in life but she was likeable in a sort of scary way.

Produced by George Weiss who also did Glen or Glenda, the Olga roughie films -- Olga's House of Shame etc. -- and dozens of similar sleazy exploitation, nudist colony and burlesque stripper films.

Terrible acting... LOL. And blatant objectification of women. So 1950s! Check out how she's shown "jogging," and "jumping rope" in that skin-tight sweater. Geez... In a weird way it all reminds me of Mad Men (not the bad acting part of course).

this was movie about women wrestlers were exploited by the promoters. like what vince does with the wwe divas. he makes a ton of money off them. and they only get 250.000 a year.

The guy with the dark hair and the moustache was the narrator of "Glen or Glenda", an Ed Wood classic!
