the big doll house (1971)

aka Women's Penitentiary III. Bamboo Dolls House. Women's Penitentiary .
"Green, scared and pretty..."
Collier (Judith Brown) arrives in a Philippine's prison, and soon finds it is a hell hole, a private playground for the warders. Unable to take the torture any more she plots with four others, (inc Pam Grier), to escape. They plan to take the despotic warden Dietrich (Christiane Schmidtmer) hostage with the reluctant help of a couple of fruit vendors.
An exploitation film, that has a verve about it that makes it stand above the rest.
