I'm not going to win any popularity contests with my favorable review of this film, given the derogatory title and premise, but I couldn't care less. I calls 'em likes I sees 'em. The acting was atrocious. Just plain awful. But the film is one of a kind, from a time when ignorance and insensitivity was rampant in filmmaking, (e.g. D.W. Griffith's "Birth of a Nation"), and in general. Shudder as we may at this small-mindedness, these were the attitudes of the day. I found myself glued to the screen, regardless of the bad acting and any potentially insulting exploitation. These people made a cognitive, knowing choice, (well, at least those who had the ability to), to participate in this film. (To my knowledge), they were not forced to. And I was entertained by its uniqueness whether or not some consider it in bad taste. C'est la vie. (F.Y.I. The microcephalic actor (male not female) Schlitze inspired the "Zippy the Pinhead" comic strip, and also The Ramones song "Pinhead".)
