Swamp Women

Yes, Swamp Women. One of Roger Corman's earliest efforts, it is typical of his work. "Flaming Passions! Weird Adventure!" Escaped female prisoners in the swamp looking for diamonds and fighting over the man. I didn't finish it.

1000 Misspent Hours says,

A plodding, directionless, and generally hopeless early entry in the female crime subgenre to which Corman would frequently return over the course of his career, Swamp Women is heavily freighted with potential for derisive mirth, but it is so stultifyingly dismal that it can take a real effort of will to get through it all.

DVD Talk says,

Chock full of stock footage to pad out the run time and catfights, tough talking dialogue and unintentional (?) lesbian overtones, Swamp Women isn't very good but it is interesting in a goofy sort of way. The acting isn't much to write home about but Garland is great as Vera and the tension that arises between Matthews' Lee and Connors' Bob works well in what semblance of a plot there is. The story is really no great shakes at all, there's not much of a plot to think about or much in the way of deeper meaning or symbolism but for a fast, cheap, schlocky exploitation picture this one does alright.

Rotten Tomatoes doesn't have a score from the critics, but the audience rating is 14%.
