1994 - GIRLS IN PRISON , another in the Rebel Highway series

Girls In Prison as the title states is about girls in prison.  Songwriter Angie O'Hara is framed for the murder of a record executive by a couple who want to steal her soon to be hit song.  While in prison she endures the usual girls in prison tropes.  In this instance, lesbianism, the naked gratuitous shower scenes and the usual girl on girl violence.

The latest film I viewed in this series has the same good points and bad points in the series.  Excellent sets and costumes reflecting the 1950's settings are the good points and the strangely indifferent attitude these directors seem to bring to this series are the bad points.  This film as typical in this series, seems to lack the craziness of the old AIP films they are based on which in turn makes them less fun to view.

 

The acting is all over the place, some of the girls seem to be sleep walking though their parts while others, in this case Anne Heche embrace their over the top characters in an entertaining fashion.

 

For the most part this is about an average film in the series.

Written by Samuel Fuller of all people and his wife Christa Lang, the running time is 83 minutes.
