Angels Assemble!

For a concept so solidly bedded in the 1970s, CHARLIE’S ANGELS keeps coming back. This year’s film, the latest in a series of twenty-first century revivals, will once again see a trio of adventuring female private investigators do the bidding of the mysterious Charles Townsend, with Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott, and Ella Balinska as the titular troika. But how did this concept, equal parts women’s liberation and male titillation, get off the ground in the first place? And what in the blue hell was the Alley Cats? STARBURST does some investigating of its own…
