Hot Thrills and Warm Chills (1967)

Member Rating:

Sexpot jewel thieves, skirt-chasing cops, and a wild party that serves as a distraction for the caper of a lifetime collide head-on in the overstuffed plot of this sexploitation drama. Toni (Rita Alexander) is a saucy gal with big hair, flashy clothes, and the impressive ability to balance a cocktail glass on her bust. Toni used to lead a life of crime, and after settling down in Rio de Janeiro she decides to put her old gang back together for one last heist. Toni brings former partners in theft Kitten and Dodi to Rio and clues them in to her scheme to steal the jewel-encrusted crown of the queen of the exclusive Sex Ball thrown during the upcoming Carnivale celebrations. Kitten and Dodi are game, but things become difficult when a slick guy named Eddie picks up Dodi during a night on the town. It turns out Eddie is a cop with a unquenchable thirst for the ladies, which has put his career with the force in jeopardy, but just this once his womanizing ways have put him on the trail of a major robbery. Kitten drops out of the heist at the last minute, and Toni and Dodi are forced to pull off the robbery on their own, with Eddie on their trail if he can keep himself from getting fired before he finds the goods. Hot Thrills and Warm Chills also features a guest appearance from former Russ Meyer starlet Lorna Maitland as a histrionic topless dancer. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
