This short, otherwise unremarkable feature is of some interest because of the way that it unabashedly caters to the tastes that it perceived in its audiences. Besides combining the elements of the risqué 'blue' movies of the era with the popularity of movies about fires, it also attempted to use the combination to get extra mileage out of it. The movie's title summarises the setup, and most of the footage shows firefighters using ladders to rescue stage girls, clad in portions of their costumes, from an upper level. Although it all seems pretty tame by today's standards, it no doubt provided its male viewers with some brief moments of excitement as the various women hurried down the ladders with their costumes in disarray.

Belinda Lee, the English actress who became a star at Cinecittà and a mainstay of la dolce vita, died shortly after her separation from the Prince Orsini, one of the great names of the Italian aristocracy. And Laura Antonelli, the star of Malizia and a long-time companion of Jean-Paul Belmondo, who did not survive her breakup with the last love of her life. Stars, celebrities and adored, but women above all…
