BANNED FROM BLOCKBUSTER - PART 2


ILSA, THE WICKED WARDEN
1977
dir. Jess Franco
color, imported
$19.95


Third in the Ilsa series -- she the former She Wolf of the SS and Harem Keeper of the Oil Shieks -- starring Dyane Thorne as the sadistic warden of a Latin American (where else?) prison for women. Legendary b-grade director Franco has included all of the usual elements of this kind of film (cat fights, long shower scenes) and - as one reviewer put it - "although it doesn't quite reach the threshold of violent sadism established by the other two entries, it's no Girl Scout picnic either."

Good clean fun.
