Back in the bad old days of the 1970's, South Africa suffered under one of the most repressive governments the world has known. Most forms of fun were either frowned upon or banned outright. And the notion of a woman joyously dancing naked was enough to cause a riot. Particularly if her partner was a sensual, slithering snake! SNAKE DANCER tells the true story of a woman who dared to be different and, in doing so, showed a whole country that it was possible to break the rules and still survive.

But above all, what the film shows is the incredible dancing and sensual live shows of the amazing Glenda Kemp, who stars as herself. And make no mistake; once you've seen her in action, you'll realize why her government tried to ban her - and why a whole nation cheered her on!

SNAKE DANCER features a great number of Glenda's sexy dance routines including several with her large pet python. These are still strong enough to raise an eyebrow or two, even in the liberal climate of today. But with its gaudy trappings, kitsch and camp costumes and unfamiliar accents, the film is never less than hugely enjoyable. All fans of 70's sexploition will love this one, and you may even learn a thing or two from watching it!

When we first meet Glenda, she’s a young girl whose mother cannot afford to look after her, so off she goes to live with a foster family just as her brother did. As Glenda grows older her interest in dance becomes more of an obsession and so she enrolls in ballet classes so that she can receive the proper training. Her childhood seems a happy one, thuogh her foster parents are none too happy with the girl when they come home one day and find her playing with a snake on the couch in the living room.

A few years later and Glenda has just finished school. Her family is hoping that she’ll use her degree to become a teacher, her fiance is as well, but one night when Glenda and some of her girlfriends head out into the big city for a girls night out, she finds herself getting a different idea. The girls sit down to enjoy their drinks and before you know it, Glenda is inside the cage go-go dancing like a woman possessed! She’s so good at it that the owner of the bar offers her a paying job, which she wholeheartedly accepts much to the dismay of her fiance.

Glenda decides to spice up her act a bit and so she hires her brother (who ‘knows someone who knows someone’) to steal a python from the local zoo for her. Before you know it, Glenda and her new pet are the star attraction at the club, that is until a wealthier club owner doubles her salary to lure her to his establishment. Her fiance gets fed up, he can’t stand having his would be wife gyrating around on stage with a snake and he amounts it to nothing more than base pornography, but Glenda’s gotta do what Glenda’s gotta do and what Glenda’s gotta do is dance… with a big snake… and without any clothes… and without giving a damn who it upsets (and brother, plenty of people get upset!).

Snake Dancer (1976) [Mondo Macabro] [Re-UP]

Kind of like a psychotronic version of Footloose, this film - supposedly based on a true story (you can read a newspaper article about it here)- basically features cute little Glenda Kemp playing herself, sort of like Evil Knieval did in Viva Knieval except with more shake and nicer curves. Her performance, in terms of her acting ability, is pretty awful but once the girl starts to wiggling, all bets are off. If there’s one thing that Glenda can do well, it’s boogie, even in the pre-snake scenes the girl has got some serious moves. Throw the stolen python into the mix and you’ve got oodles of phallic symbolism on top of some already sultry action and it all proves too hard to resist.

Snake Dancer (1976) [Mondo Macabro] [Re-UP]

Filled with completely bizarre dialogue (‘Little girls shouldn’t play with snakes!’), bad eighties music and even worse eighties fashion, Snake Dancer (or, as the on screen title says, Glenda) is so utterly odd that you can’t help but enjoy it. The movie is also full of random, jarring edits and odd little flashbacks to Glenda’s childhood that are completely unnecessary but entirely welcome in that, while they don’t add nearly as much to the story as the filmmaker’s probably thought they would, they definitely add a further layer of ‘weird’ to an already strange movie.

Aside from the snake dancing and go-go numbers, the movie also piles on the melodrama by way of a few subplots – Glenda and her fiance have it out over her career, she and some of the other dancers have issues with an employer, and her foster parents don’t really think much of her choice of profession – but through it all Glenda is true to herself and does what she wants to do. Set in the seventies, when South Africa was a fairly uptight place to live, she was breaking all manner of taboos with her act and as such was a bit of a trendsetter in that regard.

A truly unusual South African cinematic oddity gets a fine release with some excellent supplements from the always enigmatic Mondo Macabro.
