Greetings!
Well, I have been enjoying the DVD release of SATAN IN HIGH HEELS, featuring Grayson Hall in the role of Pepe, the Sapphic nightclub owner. Grayson looks fabulous clad in simple yet chic slacks and blouses and gives a most enjoyable performance. She even uses a cigarette holder when she smokes!
The DVD is loaded with extras, including several trailers and a few short subjects of questionable taste (nudie-cutie and exploitation). They do serve as interesting cultural artifacts, however, in terms of standards of female attractiveness. These films were made at a time when going to the gym every day was not de rigueur.
Still, for Graysonphiles, it's definitely worth a look.
Regards,
John

Well, I dunno Ringo - "Satan in High Heels" used to be my nickname once upon a time, so I thought this thread was all MINE!!! ::)
Anyway, I did want to ask ClaudeNorth (or anyone else who knows) if this movie is available anywhere on VHS; am itching to see it. Unfortunately though, am one of those poor benighted souls who still doesn't have the latest digital techno thingie. :P

Amazon has it on DVD but when I did a SEARCH, it came up in VHS at moviesunlimited.com Hope this helps Cassandra B.

Ironic Claude. .i was just showing the DVD to my friend last night (I have the DVD from Borders but no DVD player-- ???). We skipped the crap and went straight to Grayson's scenes.. she does look very stylish and my goodness awfully thin.. . as i've said before, Calista-thin. And this was what, a year and a half after having a baby! sheesh! My friend asked if she was on any dolls? I blanched. . of course not! but hey those NY Theatre types ya never know .. . ::)

This isn't my favorite DS alumni movie, but it is certainly interesting from a social/moral perspective! And Grayson is always a professional, love her performance.

As Helen Lawson would say, "Broadway doesn't go for booze and dope!" ;)

Thanks, folks! ;)

Thanks for this thread, John. As you know, Satan in High Heels is one of my top ten favorite films of all! It just keeps getting better and better. Grayson's performance is such a hoot. I try not to think about how much she hated the director and what a trial the filming was. Also she was not pleased when it debuted in Times Square a year and a half after the filming had been wrapped, when she was featured in her first big Broadway musical, Subways are for sleeping, with Carol Lawrence.
I was tickled when I visited Sam and he showed me this video, remarking that the movie was a riot although his wife had not cared for it. You know in the late Sixties she was flatly denying that she ever appeared in the film!

I've yet to see this movie, but after reading so much about it here on this thread, I think Im going to have to rent it now. The only other movie that I've seen Grayson in was "Night of the Iguana" and I enjoyed her in that one, thought she did a great job. And with a title like this one, I've got to definetely see it! ;)

Does she have a very big role in "Satan in High Heels" (i.e., supporting, or is it smaller)?
I still haven't seen "Qui etes-vous, Polly Magoo?", which I've been told is archived at a modern art museum right next door to where I live! I was told I could request a private screening, but I've never looked into this further.

Hi Vlad,
Ironically, Grayson has her biggest film role in Satan in High Heels. She has a lot of dialogue and is in a lot of scenes and gets lots of closeups. I'm pretty sure she gets more screen time in "Satan" than she did in "Iguana"!
As for Polly Magoo, I love her in that, but she doesn't get much screen time. She's in it at the beginning, then comes back 45 minutes later in the harem outfit with the huge turban. There are a couple of other short scenes with her, including a priceless snap-cut appearance at the very end.
Best wishes,
Steve

It's very amusing, Vlad, and how fortunate that it's so readily available to you! I recommend you check it out.

I suppose it's a little like living in Paris and never getting to the Eiffel Tower (does that ever really happen?) ...
I'm told that the "Mary Tyler Moore House" is within walking distance of where I live, yet I've never tracked that down either ... ;D
-
P.S., Thank you for the info, Gothick. I think I'll try to get "Satan in High Heels." Not sure if I should look for the video or DVD. I've been buying DVDs, too, but don't have a DVD player (yet).

Vlad, I know what you mean. I live so close to N.Y City and yet I've never been to the WTC, and sadly, it's too late now. :(

Sometimes it takes out-of-town guests to get you to these locations.
re: the WTC -- just today I noticed a pen in one of my drawers with the Marriott World Trade Center stamped on it. I also have my room key (after I locked myself out and had to get another one ... the man at the desk told me I could keep the other one as a souvenir).

Daughter and I were up on the Observation Deck of the WTC during a class trip back in 1997. I put the ticket stub in a small frame. We even ate at Sbarro's during a quickie stop in underground mall before we moved on to Battery Park. The class took the ferry to see the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island and then we moved on to Liberty Park in Jersey. Very long day to say the least. We stopped at The Inferno on Route 17 for a dinner stop.
