Not Lebanese, Blanche! (Part 2)

And, another movie where it's all about the ladyfolk.  But nothing much Sapphic happens in:



Swamp Women (1956)

Grade: C-



Bad "beauties" bust out of brig to bring back buried baubles from bayou, but babes' boat = broken. Bad break for big Bob & Bob's bayou-besotted beloved!

Babes "borrow" boat -- bye-bye beloved (blub-blub-blub).  Babes bicker, bathe, brood, bitch, battle over booty (and Bob).



But, betrayal: brunette babe's bogus -- not a baddie, but a badge babe!  Bob benefits.



Beheld, Swamp Women's brown, blobby, blown-out -- basically, brightness- & brilliance-bereft. (Brief bit's bizarrely #00BB00, because...??)



Bad, Mill Creek, bahut bad!  But, bargain box be bargain box: better buyables = big bucks.



BTW, speaking of Roger Corman, another one we're not going to review is Little Shop of Horrors (1960), since it's been more than amply discussed by many, many other writers.  It's pretty funny, though.
