Watch Swamp Women For Free

Sadly Over-hyped

One of my all time favorites.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

This movie is real snooze - it could not hold my interest at all. The first 30 minutes I tried to get into it and it did not happen. So I hit the fast forward button and went past about 10-15 minutes of the film then stopped again to watch for a bit. This movie is BORING and awful! I was hoping for a couple of laughs but I never even got that out of it.Oh why did she cut the ropes from his tied wrists? Why did he have to jump in the water to save her? I wanted the one girl to be eaten by the alligator - that would have added some excitement! But no he wrestled the fake alligator and won... that was the best scene in this awful film and that didn't turn out like I wanted it to.Watch this film only to satisfy your curiosity about how awful it really is. I love B-movies but this one is scrapping the bottom of the barrel.1/10

Mystery Science Theater, oh how I miss thee. The bane of this film's existence to wipe away one's sense of glee. OK, forget the typical rhyme and get one with the review.Never being familiar with Roger Corman's films, this is the first time I seen one of them and that is "Swamp Women". A cheesy name for a cheesy film in it's own right; I actually thought it was Swamp Thing's female counterpart but upon further viewing I discovered that that was not the case as "Swamp Women" has noting to do at all with the titular hero of the bayou of middle America(though I don't now precisely where Swamp Thing dwells).What could've made this film more compelling, despite being on a very low budget, is a more better story, better production values and better characters, but since this is a 1950's release that's not saying much when there were more quality films of the decades that spawned them. Be that as it may, ultimately the film is a waste of time and you're better off watching To Kill A Mockingbird or other better made films of the time. Nothing in this film is even remotely engaging and it should stay in the bowels of cinematography forever.

This film practically screams "cheap" from start to finish. The dialog is lousy, the acting amateurish and the music pure "cheese". Although the film cost more than PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE to produce, it probably didn't cost much more! The film opens with some Mardi Gras footage and you are introduced to Mike Connors (TV's "Mannix") and his "dame". Then, abruptly, the footage switches to a women's prison were some more tough dames are discussing some stolen diamonds--unaware that their new bunkmate is a cop in disguise! When these evil dames escape, they make a bee-line for the stolen loot. Too bad for Connors and his hot tomato that they stumble upon these tough broads! What follows is a rather dull boat trip through the bayou punctuated by silly dialog (featuring lots of "cat fighting", frequent use of words such as "dame", "broad" and "loot" as well as frequent whining by Connor's girlfriend) and stock footage that is rather randomly inserted. Well, at least it seemed dull until some of the women noticed that young and studly Connors was too much man to leave alone--and they began slobbering and fighting to get into his pants.All this slobbering is punctuated when the undercover cop falls into the swamp and she can't swim. Connors springs to the rescue and quickly dispatches an alligator with just a pocketknife AND he saves her from drowning---what a guy! Inexplicably, just moments later, the ladies take a break and a couple of them take off their clothes to take a swim--including the one who couldn't swim in the previous scene! Oh, well,...I guess they figured the movie needed a cheesecake scene regardless of whether or not it made any sense.Later, when they find the diamonds the ladies do the most logical thing--have a long and pointless cat fight--complete with everything but jello!! Then, even more stock footage in a long and meaningless montage follows. Then, in the end, the women all turn on each other and by this point, rather inexplicably, the cop and Connors have fallen in love and the film ends with the surviving broads being arrested. Hurrah for justice! This movie made the list of 50 worst films (from Harry Medved's book "The Fifty Worst Films of All Time and How They Got That Way") and whether it should or shouldn't have made this list is debatable. I'd put it on a list of maybe 200 worst films, but either way the movie stinks. As a result, the film is best seen only by bad film lovers (like myself)--not sane or "normal" people.

Reportedly Roger Corman's first directorial effort, Swamp Women (oddly renamed Swamp Diamonds on the MSTK version) is great fun even without the interjected comments of the MSTK gang. Although the plot leaves much to be desired, the interplay of "Touch" Connors (later Mike of Mannix), Queen of the B's Marie Windsor and the always wonderful Beverly Garland, as the baddest of the bad girls,is worth the price of admission. When the girls cut their jeans down to short-shorts after a night of drinking (Why would they do that in a swamp with rattlers and crocs?)things really get good. The MSTK crew get a lot of laugh mileage out of Connors first name and all the down and dirty girl fighting, which is surprisingly well staged. If you get the MSTK version, don't miss the featured short "What To Do on a Date." It's a hoot!
