Dietrich

Actually has some resonance since a couple of the girls are actually sold into prostitution at one point. I think a better tag line would have been: "Cruelty, betrayal, and desperation behind bars!"

The prisoners, freed by Angeli, take over the ship. After a storm, Desny takes back control of his ship with Purdom's help. Since mutiny is punishable by death in the New World, the mutineers try to reroute the course, tossing Desny and Purdom in the brig. Mestral wants to throw Angeli and her sister convicts overboard to save rations, but the women free Purdom and Desny to battle the mutineers. Angeli hails a British warship to come to the rescue. Desny exonerates Angeli and Purdom, leaving the latter and Girardon, the daughter of a murdered passenger, free to marry.

While shooting FRAUENGEFANGNIS (BARBED WIRE DOLLS) for Swiss producer Erwin C. Dietrich's Elite Film, Franco decided to clandestinely shoot another WIP film simultaneously utilizing some of the same cast members and sets. He simply shot the alternate film as slightly different takes, using short ends and leftovers of the film he had been allotted. He then cut it together and sold it to Italian producers to whom he owed money behind Dietrich's back.The prison sequences mostly consist of sado-sexual encounters between Lina Romay , the catlike Martine Stedil, and the oafish Ronald Weiss

WOMEN
IN HEAT BEHIND BARS (1987)
Directed
by: Junichi Suzuki
cast:
Mako Takigawa, Saeko Kizuki, Makoto Kobayashi, Shinobu Wakana
Sadistic women in prison smut from the ever-reliable Japanese. Uses the standard framing device of having various characters pondering the events leading up to their incarceration, more often than not while another inmate’s face is buried between their legs. Highlights(?) include an assembly line cavity search, the old human toilet trick and, well, call us crude (won’t be the first time) but any movie that opens on a close up of a woman vigorously pawing at her oily twat has got our attention!

WOMEN
OF HELL'S ISLAND (1978)
a.k.a.: Hellhole / Escape
from women's hell hole
directed by Cirio Santiago
cast: Ingrid Greer, Nanette Martin, Kerry Nichols, Bernadete Williams,
Pretty typical WIP fare. Women are captured and brought to an island where they are used for the sexual gratification of a group of assassins. Although it is alluded to one of the girl's being a goverment infilt4rator, we don't see or hear much of the guns for hire. Mostly what we get is a bunch of girls talking and digging an escape tunnel. There is one fairly boring rape scene, and several slow motion sex scenes that never go below the waist. Although there are a few catchy lines, such as " Listen wench, I don't need this kind of crap" this is, for the most part, not good enough or bad enough to be interesting. The escape scene is slightly more lively with girls getting caught in various traps; a spiked pit, a mine field, etc. One girl even gets her leg cut off, but it's mostly a wasted effort. "This is some sort of nightmare" one girl says; and I agree.

PRISON (1955)

by Lewis R. Seiler
cast:
Ida Lupino, Jan Sterling, Cleo Moore, Audrey Totter, Howard
Duff
Abused inmates. Ida Lupino is a stern Wardress whose
psychological undoings stem from her inability with the opposite sex.As a result
she vents that frustration by inflicting cruelty onto her female prisoners. Jan
Sterling is the sympathetic but tough cell block moll, Phyllis Thaxter is the
new and abused inmate, and Vivian Marshal a ex stripper/agent killer who does
Betty Davis impressions.The anticipated prison revolt brews after Lupino beats
on a pregnant girl and puts her into the infirmary. Howard Duff gives a strong
performance as the sympathetic doctor dedicated to Lupino's fall. One of the
eras best.
