| Back in the bad
old days of the 1970's, South Africa suffered under one of the most
repressive governments the world has known. Most forms of fun were
either frowned upon or banned outright. And the notion of a woman
joyously dancing naked was enough to cause a riot. Particularly
if her partner was a sensual, slithering snake! SNAKE DANCER
tells the true story of a woman who dared to be different and, in
doing so, showed a whole country that it was possible to break the
rules and still survive.
But above all, what the film shows is the incredible dancing and
sensual live shows of the amazing Glenda Kemp, who stars as herself.
And make no mistake; once you've seen her in action, you'll realize
why her government tried to ban her - and why a whole nation cheered
her on!
SNAKE DANCER features a great number of Glenda's sexy dance routines
including several with her large pet python. These are still strong
enough to raise an eyebrow or two, even in the liberal climate of
today. But with its gaudy trappings, kitsch and camp costumes and
unfamiliar accents, the film is never less than hugely enjoyable.
All fans of 70's sexploition will love this one, and you may even
learn a thing or two from watching it!
