99 woman star oscar winner mercedes mccambridge a a sadistic prison warden and maria schell a a super intendant with lesbionic tendency towards one of the female inmate and who would have think that you could have go wrong with this one . apparently not me a i be quite excite about my purchase of this movie . it be pretty horrible a expect and but not in a good way . i be hop this be go to be one of those hilarious woman in prison exploitation flick that be high in camp value . hell and mercedes mccambridge be in it . first off and the movie start off positively . we have three broad arrive on a boat and still in the clothes they be apparently arrest in and try in court and and then literally and send up the river in . we be introduce to the blonde starlet and marie and the black haired stripper and helga and and some other brunette who die from some sort of accident that require medical surgery . the camp factor needle hit high as soon a we be introduce to mercedes mccambridge appear in a warden uniform and bark order in a faux german accent ( even though her name be thelma diaz ) and give marie a backhand across the face for use her name instead of her number and 99. however it only get bad from here . while there be certainly some entertaining cat fight scene ( ie hair pull and clothes be rip off and face slapping and etc ) and the rest of the film be incredibly boring . there be a sadistic male warden ( herbert lom ) who coerce one of the female prisoner into seduce marie for his pleasure and and there be one un name prison guard who have the most hilarious facial expression when introduce guest to mccambridge and but the rest of the film fall flat . maria schell be not in the film nearly enough and and when she be and it hard to determine what her true agenda be . it seem like she have a thing for marie and but they never explore it . when the girl finally break out and trek through a jungle and there be a few more camp moment and such a the scene with the harmless snake where upon spot it and instead of run around it and the girl proceed to scream and grab it and cut it with a knife ( lol ) . the other semi amuse moment be watch marie and helga make a dash for the fishing boat and hand in hand and wear nothing short of see through panty and torn jumpsuit . mercedes mccambridge be the movie only save grace . her accent border lined german and spanish and and she have some pretty hilarious one liner such a and she be put in the punishment cell . for repeated insolence . at various moment and her voice deepen into that same voice she use a pazuzu in the exorcist and i think maybe she be go to morph into satan at any moment . the most interesting thing that i hear about this movie be that there be an x rat version out there . i watch the un rat version which have no explicit sex scene and only some gratuitous breast shot and a glimpse of bush . i shudder at the thought that mercedes mccambridge might have film a scene not know that at some late point her body double would be enjoy an explicit lesbian sex scene with one of the female prisoner . i would not recommend this movie to any woman in prison enthusiast out there . in fact and i would only recommend this movie to mercedes mccambridge fan a she be the sole reason i give this movie one star . don not waste your time with this one folk .
