It was Meyer's first color film following a string of black & white "roughie nudies", including ''[[Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!]]'' 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.'

			Its tagline: "Two Much For One Man...Russ Meyer's Busty Buxotic Beauties ... Titilating ... Torrid ... Untopable ... Too Much For One Man!"

			The film was banned in Finland.

			== Plot ==
			The film presents a snapshot of '60s San Francisco before shifting its focus to [[strippers]]. The strippers' lives are earnestly portrayed as they reveal the day-to-day realities of sex work, talk bra sizes, relate their preferences in men, all voiced over while dancing topless to a faux "rock" soundtrack. Throughout a large portion of the film, the narrator talks about the women as if they are a Sub-Genre of the Counter Culture Movement somewhat similar to the Beatnik or Hippie movements that were highly prevalent during the same era. The "Topless" movement as it is called by the narrator could also be perceived as an allegorical subsect of the Sexual Revolution of the 1960s.

			== In popular culture ==
			Mondo Topless became the focus of a brief comedy bit on ''The Opie and Anthony Show'' on XM Radio in 2006. Since that time, the introduction to their morning radio show plays a clip of Meyer saying "But enough of this palaver! Let's get the show on the road!"

			The Philadelphia, PA based garage-rock group Mondo Topless named themselves after the film.

			== Documentary traditions ==
			The title ''Mondo Topless'' derives from the series of "mondo" films of the early 1960s. The first and most successful of these was ''Mondo Cane'' (''A Dog's World''). The purpose of these films was to bypass censorship laws by presenting both sexual and graphically violent material in a documentary format.

			''Mondo Topless'' shares some stylistic similarities with Jean-Luc Godard's collaborative effort, ''Le plus vieux métier du monde'' (''The Oldest Trade in the World''). ''Mondo Topless'', like most other Meyer films, drew much of its inspiration from the more relaxed European attitudes toward sex, and was followed by a host of imitators.
