The ladies of the title are a pair of Danish cabaret entertainers, played by Helle Ryslinge and Anne Marie Helger. As a reaction to their own domestic travails, Ryslinge and Helger have developed an act in which they poke fun at traditional sexual manners and mores. While the casual viewer might presume that this film is a ham-handed feminist manifesto, Ladies on the Rocks is engagingly sweet-tempered, even when doling out well-deserved punishments to its male-chauvinist characters. Male director Christian Braad Thomsen co-wrote the screenplay with stars Ryslinge and Helger. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

This provocative sci-fi outing is set in an over-populated, horribly polluted 21st century where child-bearing has become illegal. To help ease the tension and stress caused by not procreating, married couples use robot dolls to substitute for children. One couple decides to break the law and have a real baby in secret. Unfortunately, their neighbors find out and demand that the couple share the baby with them. The other couple does so, but finds that the neighbors get too attached to the infant. They stop sharing their child, and the neighbors becomes so angry that they report them to authorities. The couple and their baby are arrested and sentenced to death. Fortunately, the clever husband anticipated this and made a few plans in advance. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi
