Love Camp
Just one of the many Liebes Lager or Love Camp, that is, those prisons
with maniacal jailers and undressed prisoners. Just one of the many
Women in Prison, by the couple Erwin C. Dietrich and Jesùs
Franco, with the first one writing history and script, as well as
producing and the second one sitting behind the camera. There is no
Lina Romay and we are somewhere in South or Central America. Here, a
warden, played by Muriel Montossé, kidnaps some prostitutes to
keep them in her prison for recreational use by the rebels, who after
the battles have some relax moments. Among these there is also Angela,
the protagonist, played by Ada Tauler, who is not a prostitute and is
kidnapped at home just after getting married and is, above all, an
infiltrator. In prison, the very bad warden, of course a lesbian,
punishes anyone who dares to rebel with death or with a whip. The
others, on the other hand, are usually naked, take a shower and satisfy
the rebels as mentioned. The usual nice savings in clothes budget.
Angela manages to make the rebel leader fall in love, which helps her
and her companions in the classic escape that can never miss in a WIP.
Escape that brings us to the final twist. "Frauen im Liebeslager" or
"Love Camp" of 1977, follows the canvas of the genre, changing very few
things, which however all in all make it at least watchable, for avid
fans of Uncle Jess . Of course, and needless to remember, the Franco of
the best times appears only in a couple of scenes and nothing more.
When he shoot an interrogation, framing the breast and the warden,
perhaps to deny the dignity of the prisoner (I like to give this
meaning but who knows) and when from an arch he shows us the medical
examination of the inmates.
Famous faces of the production’s Franco / Dietrich, not certainly
missing and in addition to the aforementioned Ada Tauler and Muriel
Montossé, we see Monica Swinn, Esther Studer and Roman Huber.
