Mugsy's Girls Explained

Mugsy's Girls, also known as Delta Pi, is a 1984 film featuring pop singer Laura Branigan and Ruth Gordon. It tells the story of a sorority traveling to Las Vegas to participate in a mud wrestling competition. Their goal is to raise money to save their house. The film was released in theaters in 1985.[1]

This is one of Gordon's final films (along with the three other films she made around this time that were released posthumously). She plays the sorority house-mother who ends up wrestling at the end. The film also features genre stars Eddie Deezen and Kristi Somers. Although Laura Branigan was quite famous as a singer by the time the filming began, she contributed no music to the film; most songs were performed by fellow cast member Joanna Dierck, who at one point was married to the film's writer and director Kevin Brodie.
