Little Girls and High Finance

About This Movie

So, Little Girls and High Finance is this wild ride from 1960 that dives into some seriously dark themes, but it’s wrapped in a comedic tone that's hard to pin down. The plot spins around this low-level bureaucrat and a prostitute, both at rock bottom, trying to end it all, but they end up flipping the script entirely. It's a satire that explores power dynamics in a rather absurd way as the prostitutes end up running the country. The performances are a mixed bag, but there’s a certain raw energy that keeps you engaged. The pacing is erratic, giving it this frantic feel that mirrors the chaotic life of its characters. Plus, the practical effects have this gritty charm that blends well with the overall atmosphere.

Finding Little Girls and High Finance on home media is a bit of a treasure hunt. It hasn’t seen many releases and copies can be pretty scarce, especially in good condition. There’s a niche interest among collectors who appreciate the era’s offbeat comedies and the unconventional storytelling. If you're into films that blend absurdity with a deeper critique on society, this one certainly stands out.
