The Centerfold Girls is another sleazy '70s sexploitation flick to make its long overdue debut on DVD from Dark Sky Films. The movie is presented in a 1.66:1 anamorphic widescreen presentation and has been transferred and restored from the original 16mm negatives. The image is rather grainy at times and the colors look a bit washed out here and there, but there’s nothing to really bitch and moan about. Oddly enough, the original credits are nowhere to be seen. Instead, the opening and closing titles have been recreated with modern video equipment. The English mono stereo accompanying the film comes through fine and dandy (with a few pops and hisses every now and then), and the DVD comes with English subtitles should you really need to know what the ladies are saying when their clothes are on.
Special features for The Centerfold Girls start out with a mini-documentary entitled “Making The Cut: A Look Back On The Centerfold Girls” (14:56), featuring interviews with actors Prine, Ashley, and York as well as co-writer/producer Arthur Marks.
Additional bonus materials consist of several music cues from the film’s repetitively annoying soundtrack; two trailers (red band and green band); and a couple of radio and TV spots (yes, they used to advertise movies on the radio, kiddies).
There really is no “plot” to speak of here—just women being humiliated and murdered. Nor is there really a point to the whole movie—other than to exploit two of cinema’s finest sellers: sex and violence. In other words, this is the ideal pick for a fan of low-budget '70s slasher flicks. Enjoy.
