Sex Kittens Go to College

About This Movie

So, 'Sex Kittens Go to College' is this offbeat comedy from 1960, and you can tell right away that it revels in its own silliness. The premise is amusing enough—Colleges needing a head of the science department and they end up with this incredibly attractive Dr. Mathilda West, who's as much a distraction as she is brilliant. It’s got this lighthearted tone, with a blend of absurd situations and quirky characters that just feels like a time capsule of college hijinks from that era. The performances are playful, and there's a certain charm in how it navigates themes of attraction and intellect, even if it's not particularly profound. The pacing is energetic, keeping you engaged throughout, which is perhaps what makes it stand out in the landscape of '60s comedies.

This film has seen a few different formats over the years, but original prints and early home video releases are becoming rarer as time goes on. While not the quintessential '60s comedy, it still holds a certain kitschy allure that collectors appreciate. There's a niche interest among those who enjoy the era’s unique blend of humor and charm, so it can occasionally surface at film festivals or niche screenings, enhancing its appeal to dedicated collectors.
