Chatterbox (also known as Virginia the Talking Vagina) is a 1977 comedy film about a woman with a talking vagina. The movie stars Candice Rialson as Penelope, a hairdresser who discovers her vagina has the power of speech after it derisively comments on a lover's performance. Penelope's talking vagina has a mind of its own, which includes a desire to sing. Penelope and her talking vagina wind up exploited by her psychiatrist (Larry Gelman), who launches her on a career in show business.
According to Michael Medved in The Golden Turkey Awards, Penelope's talking vagina precipitates many developments in her life:
Escapades include a sojourn in jail with a basketball team and sessions with a psychiatrist to help Virginia overcome her (its?) emotional problems. With her self-confidence restored, she makes several hit appearances on TV talkshows; the theory, apparently, is that Virginia makes an even more interesting late-night guest than Truman Capote.
