Elevator Girls in Bondage

Directed by Michael Kalmen1972USA52 mins

The underpaid “radical pervert” staff of a seedy hotel rises up in revolt, and by the time head elevator girl Maxine starts spouting union songs – “dump the bosses off your back!” – and Marxist maxims, you’ll be ready to join the cause of Elevator Girls in Bondage. Starring members of legendary genderfuck drag troupe the Cockettes/Angels of Light including the great Rumi Missabu (who passed away in April 2024) as Maxine, who organizes the Pussy Protection Club to fight back against lurking predators in the hotel.

'Elevator Girls in Bondage' is screening in:

The Fabulous Cockettes!

A trio of films made by the Cockettes, a unique and flamboyant San Francisco theater troupe from the 1970s: Tricia’s Wedding (1971), Elevator Girls in Bondage (1972), and Palace (1971).
