“u0026quot;What do we do now?u0026quot; u0026quot;Letu0026#39;s get undressedu0026quot; Jailhouse Wardress is a bit of a mess in terms of story, at the end of World War 2 a high ranking Nazi SS officer flees to South Africa and becomes the cruel governor of a bizarre womenu0026#39;s jail, an assassination plot is made to kill him. The bulk of the film looks 1970u0026#39;s/early 80u0026#39;s but our villain hasnu0026#39;t aged a day since 1945, either he has some miracle anti-ageing potion or the makers didnu0026#39;t give a hoot about making the time setting look convincing. There are two directors credited, Alain Deruelle, who specialised in pornography, and Spanish legend Jess Franco, known for his many horror films though he too dabbled in adult movies. I am a fan of Jess, even his bad movies and this falls into that category. He gives his usual cameo appearance , his real life lover Lina Romay is one of the stars in this flick. The prison is an old coastal castle, the location is quite nice but there are only a handful of inmates and the governoru0026#39;s office looks like it was filmed in somebodyu0026#39;s lounge! The editing is bad, the dubbing is terrible and it is obvious that the film was put together using footage from other movies, the picture quality varying quite a lot. Yes, it is very flawed but letu0026#39;s be honest there is only one reason to watch this women in prison/Nazisploitation thriller and that is for the sex and nudity, of which there is a great deal. Full frontal female nudity throughout, some of the men get in on the action too but as was so typical back then – with one exception – the guys get to keep their clothes on! Also back then the u0026quot;natural looku0026quot; was in which makes the nudity look dated. The Euro musical score is easy on the ears and I did like seeing the exotic plants outside of the prison but the sex novelty soon wore off and gave up with the u0026quot;plotu0026quot;.”
