Mongoose commentary in white. Scoopy comments in mint green | "Caged Heat" |
This is THE classic
Women in Prison film, Caged Heat from 1974. Certainly not
the first WIP and maybe not the best but definitely one
of the milestone films of the genre. Erica Gavin plays a
dumb chick who gets arrested for her small part in an
attempted bank robbery. Now she's being checked into
prison and the prison doctor has to check
the orifices for
contraband. You can tell
this is a doctor and not just some slimebag minimum-wage
prison orderly because he's smoking a pipe. In low budget
films, the actors don't have the ability to reach down
and find the ways that Med School would make a man
different from spending those same seven years chewing
tobacco and shooting squirrels. They could show that he's
an educated man by having him use some big words, but the
writers of these movies don't actually know any big
words. Therefore, they reach for the key symbol. A
slimebag orderly would not smoke a pipe. Pipes are smoked
by sophisticated guys like Basil Rathbone and George
Sanders. Ergo, this must be a man of great education. Brinke Stevens may be top Scream Queen of all time but when it comes to the Queen of ALL the B Movies it has to be, in my humble opinion, Cheryl "Rainbeaux" Smith. Rainbeaux's masterpiece was the fantastic sexploitation musical Cinderella. Here she is sleeping in her cell dreaming about being groped by a prison guard, then killing him with a big butcher knife. Rainbeaux, Erica and Juanita Brown standing topless in line to get into the shower. Juanita's not in the first frame. Rainbeaux taking a shower. Kind of dark caps. Rainbeaux full frontal nude locked up in solitary confinement. Really dark caps...sorry. Maybe it'll come out on DVD some day. This would be Lynda Gold as "Crazy Alice.". You can take the gal out of the prison but you can't take the prison out of the gal...even after escaping from jail, these ladies still have an irresistible compulsion to bathe together. Lucky for us! Every WIP worth it's salt has to have a prisoner who is abused by the prison doctor. It's an unwritten rule. In Caged Heat the unfortunate victim is Roberta Collins. Roberta's agreed to participate in some medical experiments. This experiment turned out to include being drugged then molested while in a stupor. |
