Mondo Topless is a 1966 pseudo-documentary directed by Russ Meyer, featuring Babette Bardot and Lorna Maitland among others. It marked Meyer's return to color filmmaking following a two-year "Gothic period" of black-and-white "roughies" that were primarily marketed toward the drive-in theater circuit and deemphasized nudity and other sexual content in favor of exaggerated violence. While a straightforward sexploitation film, the film owes some debt to the French New Wave and cinéma vérité traditions, and is known to some under the titles Mondo Girls and Mondo Top.
