Softcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition (pbo). [spine moderately turned, modest external soiling and age-toning, some fading to red spine lettering]. Mass Market PB Apparently a novelization (although it doesn't specifically say so) of the 1968 movie of the same name, using the same art for its cover as the film's poster. (…If so, however, it's rather an excessive one, turning a 90-minute film into a 312-page book.) Directed and co-written by Slatzer, about "a wild, sexy, ruthless, voluptuous gang of female motorcycle hellions led by an incredibly beautiful girl named Sheila," played in the film by Sharyn Kinzie. Released through Crown International Pictures, it was one of just two feature films directed by Slatzer (the other being the eminently forgettable 1970 potboiler BIGFOOT), who, we are informed by the cover text, "learned his [writing] craft under the late Louis Bromfield," later migrating to Hollywood "where he specialized in publicity, working closely with Marilyn Monroe -- who became a very close friend." Oh, how much innuendo is carried by that strategically-placed dash! The world found out six years later, when Slatzer published a book in which he made the claim by which he will forever be remembered: that he and Marilyn had been secretly married in Mexico in 1952, only to have the marriage broken up by Twentieth Century-Fox studio chief Darryl Zanuck. I believe this claim has been thoroughly debunked, but I'm not going to go down the rabbit hole to re-confirm it; that way lies madness. (The book is dedicated to Marilyn, by the way.).
