SATAN IN HIGH HEELS! 1961
Sometimes a film can go too far! Sometimes, is now! Banned In England for 7 years! One of our most popular posts! IF THE PAGE FREEZE HIT REFRESH
SATAN IN HIGH HEELS was banned in England for 7 years, yet today is praised for its radical approach to the music.
Place Satan in High Heels firmly in the category of low-budget, female-driven exploitation cinema: salacious, quotable and patently irresistible.
Meg Myles plays Stacey Kane, a traveling-show carnival stripper who’s determined to use her Kim Novak-like face and Marilyn Monroe-like figure to her advantage. No matter that she’s hard as nails, a thief, an opportunist and a corrupter: these are things that she puts to good use.
After stealing her heroin addict boyfriend’s newfound cash, Stacey skips town and lands in New York City. You see, she wants to be a singer not a stripper, and in no time at all she finds a benefactor who knows the manager of a popular nightclub called Pepe’s: all she has to do is, well, “be friendly.”

In his review for the June 6, 1963, issue of Down Beat magazine, jazz critic John S. Wilson wrote: "Guitarist Lowe has put together a walloping big band, given it some strong punchy arrangements to play, and has come through with a set of rousing performances."
The Allmusic review states "Mundell Lowe's score for the exploitation flick Satan in High Heels is an immensely enjoyable collection of exaggeratedly cinematic jazz. Lowe runs through all sorts of styles, from swinging big band to cool jazz, from laid-back hard-bop to driving bop".
