Vampiresas 1930 (volando hacia la fama) (transl. Female Vamps 1930 – Flying to Fame) is a 1961 Spanish musical comedy film directed by Jesús Franco. The film is about two musicians, Tony who gets the attention of a silent film star and Daniel who falls for a dancer. The four work together until they find themselves out of work and begin performing as a jazz band. The four suddenly get caught up in a murder racket, that was actually committed by a two gangsters who run the casino that the four play at. Initially a project set for director Pedro Lazaga, delays on the film led it to be directed by Franco. During production, Franco re-wrote most of the script.
