Line 1: {{work}} [[File:200px-Girls_Town.jpg\|frame\|link=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgJ6FOpeeo8\|... trying to crowd a lifetime of thrills into one night [[Dramatic Pause\|...]] '''''[[Bold Inflation\|EVERY NIGHT]]!''''']] 1959 pseudo-explotation flick starring Paul Anka, Mel Torme and Mamie Van Doren. Featured on ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000]]''! ~~The~~'''''Girls ~~movie~~Town''''' opens with [[Delinquent\|Silver]]'s (Mamie Van Doren's character's) sister Mary Lee [[Attempted Rape\|fending off]] some guy named Chip. In the process, the spaz accidentally falls off a cliff to his death. Silver's lipstick is found at the scene by Fred (Mel Torme), and he tries to [[Blackmail]] Silver, but he's '''Mel Torme''' so that doesn't work. Meanwhile, some orphaned teenager named [[Stalker with a Crush\|Serafina]] with an obsession with <s>Paul Anka</s> [[Messianic Archetype\|Jimmy]] [[Idol Singer\|Parlow]] (played by Paul Anka) is brought into Girl's Town - which is totally not a reformatory<ref>Okay, it's a reformatory</ref>. Silver is too (Chip's Dad blames Silver and swears to have her put into jail or worse), because otherwise the movie's title would be pointless as well as stupid. Line 14: Overall, the movie isn't the worst to be aired on ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000]]''. It was a lame attempt to cash in on the popularity of some non-actors and more attention could have been paid to [[Yuri Fan\|Serafina and Silver's relationship]] (they actually barely interact in the film), but it does have some clever ideas - they just aren't followed up on enough. Also, [[~~The Ultimate Sexy Women Of Hollywood\|~~Mamie Van Doren]]. For tropes associated specifically with the ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000]]'' version, check out the [[Mystery Science Theater 3000/Recap/S06/E01 Girls Town\|episode recap page]]. ~~----~~ {{tropelist}} * [[Actor Allusion]]: Mamie Van Doren gets compared to Diana Dors by Tom Servo. The comparison is [http://www.peeperstv.com/pictures/989254/dianadors.jpg fairly accurate]{{Dead link}}. * [[Asshole Victim]]: Chip, whose <s>murder</s> [[Karmic Death]] kicks off the plot, was killed while trying to rape Mary Lee. * [[Boobs of Steel]]: Silver is able to beat up a Judo expert because of this. Line 50: * [[Stalker with a Crush]]: Serafina. * [[Totally Radical]]: The dialogue is just painful at times. * [[The Ultimate Sexy Women Of Hollywood]]: Mamie Van Doren. * [[There Are No Therapists]]: As caring as the sisters are, didn't anyone think a mental health professional might do Serafina more good? * [[You Keep Using That Word]]: "Henchman."
