Swamp Women - Movie Review

Swamp Women was the first film directed by a young Roger Corman while in his twenties and is an early display all the classic B-movie sensibilities which were to become his trademark throughout his career.

The film follows undercover police officer Lee Hampton (Carole Mathews) after she infiltrates a prison, befriends three female convicts, and helps them all escape. In reality, this planned escape is part of a larger plot to find a diamond stash hidden deep within the swamps of Louisiana.

The ladies escape and head to the swamp, where they've hidden a fortune in diamonds. Along the way, they kidnap geologist Touch Connors. For a while, it looks as though the girls will get away with their crime and Connors will end up as alligator bait, but Mathews saves the day. The supporting cast of Swamp Diamonds is a roll-call of 1950s "tough broads": Marie Windsor, Beverly Garland, Susan Cummings, Jil Jarmyn.

There are ridiculous amounts of stock footage in this film, from alligators to snakes and numerous cat-fights throughout, pulling of hair, kicking, rolling around wearing not very much. Classic cult film.
