In 1972 director George Roy Hill took Kurt Vonnegut’s novel Slaughterhouse-Five and made a very interesting film based on it. Billy Pilgrim is a World War II veteran who finds himself mysteriously detached from time. The man is able to travel from the days of his childhood to those of his peculiar life on a distant planet, passing through his sad experience as a prisoner of war in the German city of Dresden.
Among the various characters, the most interesting one for us is Montana Wildhack, an exploitation film actress played by Valerie Perrine. When we first see Valerie Perrine naked, the protagonist is flipping through an adult magazine and sees her topless photos. In the next scene, the actress is on a drive-in screen, topless. Later, we find Valerie Perrine naked in the protagonist’s space quarters. The woman is wearing only a pair of yellow panties, then he hands her a jacket to put on.
