I used to work in a video store and we'd put this on for kicks. I swear there's a moment where Shelley yells out, "Who here slept with Marlon Brando?" but I did a lot of drugs in the 80s.) The rest of the exercisers? Oh ... Florence Henderson, Teri Garr, Virginia Mayo, Dionne Warwick and Terry Moore! I wish I still had Eve's review from Movieline. It is a work of sheer comic brilliance.
Note: the youtuber and Amazon note this as a 1990s release, but that's wrong - must be the re-release date. It came out in '83.
If you really want it, Debbie still sells VHS copies at her shows.

She's LOADED! God love her, the dolls must have ben flying backstage. Who's slept with Brando? None of them, I would guess, although they might have done each other.
By the way, you're tagged, details at mrpeenee.
I think that Shelley comment was something WE said in the store! But my memory is a litte fuzzy, too...39 and holding!
Where might I have been today if I had only done it Debbie's way!
Thank you, dear--I do miss reviewing bad videos in Movieline. But try and get a job as a columnist nowadays--it's all blogs and YouFace and Titter.
Mavis - THAT makes much more sense! Oh, Mr. P - I can't do those meme things. Eve, is there any way we can scan your old columns? Send them to me.
No, I'm sure whatever publishing company owned them would sue me. And that they are much funnier in retrospect.
The LP version of this has literally been collecting dust at the Goodwill for months-- my fingerprints are visible on the cover form all of the times I've picked it up, considered it, and put it back on the shelf. This post makes me want to add it to my collection once and for all!
Do it! Do it! Do it Debbie's Way! If only for the soundbytes you can make of Debbie talking about pelvic thrusts.
