Old New Orleans Exploitation Movie - Opening Sequence

Here's a great opening to a pretty damn obscure, late 1960s exploitation movie set in the greatest city in the world, New Orleans. It has a lot of great period footage of the city, and of the burlesque scene in the French Quarter. I edited out the titles - if anyone recognizes this, you'll get a prize! Well, maybe not - but I will be duly impressed since I don't think many folks have seen this. Or have seen this and are browsing YouTube for historic film clips of New Orleans

@historianita Yep, that's it. Also known as "The Exotic Ones". You've seen this, I guess, right?

St. Louis erected in 1724 my arse. lol The congregation may have been founded at that time, but the actual structure you see today is from 1789. He speaks with such ganster authority, though. Could he really be wrong?!?!  haha!

Only people truly being "exploited" was the audience.

Reminds me of an edgier Jack Webb in Dragnet.

Truly camp. A Russ Myers-style movie about New Orleans. It begins in the swamp..... I remember the Paddock Lounge. I also remember a stripping teacher and Galatea, the statue that comes to life. Oh, and a girl who turns into a gorilla. Too bad I didn't pay a few bucks to see those acts, but I was a poor student.
