They were rebels without a clue.
Features: DVD
Hilariously cool, wild and campy, Girls In Prison is a sexy send-up of hard-boiled prison pictures! Aggie is a sweet young songstress with Hollywood dreams who's having a hard time making it in the sleazy music biz...though not nearly as hard as the "time" she'll have to do for a murder she didn't commit! Yet even in the slammer, the tension rises as she's relentlessly targeted by the same shady characters responsible for her fiendish frame-up! Girls In Prison will have you delightedly captivated, as Aggie--and some tough new friends on the "inside"--become rebels without a clue, fighting to declare her innocence before she's silenced forever!
Editor's Note
Framed for murdering her lover, Carol Madison (Ione Sky) is forced to endure life behind bars in John McNaughton's GIRLS IN PRISON. Carol finds the going rough in the big house and eventually joins a gang run by two hardened convicts, Jennifer (Anne Heche) and Aggie (Missy Crider). Together they fend off the crooked warden and plan a daring breakout.With a crackling script cowritten by legendary screenwriter-director Samuel Fuller, characteristically provocative direction by McNaughton (HENRY PORTRAIT OF A SERIAL KILLER), and steamy performances from Hecht, Crider, and Skye, GIRLS IN PRISON has all the ingredients for a sizzlingly good time. McNaughton takes his first dive into lesbian erotica (he would go even further in WILD THINGS), bestowing upon viewers a racy shower scene in which Carol is seduced by one of her fellow inmates. In the tradition of classic women-behind-bars films such as CAGED HEAT, WOMEN IN CAGES, and CAGED FURY, GIRLS IN PRISON is both a satisfyingly overstuffed collection of guilty pleasures and a campy noir thriller.
Plot Summary
Originally produced for Showtime, GIRLS IN PRISON is a seamy, exploitative big-house yarn in the tradition of the eponymous 1956 film and its genre ilk. A Hollywood ingenue takes the fall for her boss's ice job and finds herself packed in the cooler with a passel of lovely, troubled lady cons.
