Now on DVD from Camp Cult Classics!
"Line up, you tramps!" This great film is now out on dvd. Amazon has it in a boxed set with TROG and THE BIG CUBE for 20.99!
shareI'm glad this film is on DVD, but labeling it a "camp classic" is just plain wrong. There's nothing remotely campy about this great movie; it's a very gritty and potent picture that holds up well even today.
I enjoy keeping busy. Satan finds work for idle hands.
Some of it may seem "camp" now but obviously the producers were trying to make a very serious movie with an important theme. They were sincere in their eforts.
shareEven watching it now 57 years later, the movie doesn't seem very 'camp' to me. But, I hope its DVD release will get others to discover this movie gem. I saw it be accident in a store window and rented it on NetFlix. A good noir movie on female prisons.
shareI was looking forward to seeing this but when I se it labelled a "cult camp classic"....it makes it sound as though it's in the same league as "Trog"...

And they succeeded. Because, as other posters have said, there's nothing even remotely campy in this movie. A very dark and gritty prison movie. As far as prison movies go, I think this one is a lot better than the Shawshank Redemption.
