There’s something to outrage everyone is this jaw-dropping exploitation film about lesbians from 1965.
'They roam the big city streets in large gangs assaulting everyone who falls within their path.' And that's one of the milder lines from this pulp pseudo-doc about lesbians from the 1960s, packed with dubious statistics and offensive stereotypes. A wacky mix of moralising ('can we keep lesbianism from becoming a serious social problem?') and titillation (plenty of topless shenanigans), the film veers increasingly off the rails, culminating in an act of violence towards a new member of the love-cult of the 'daughters of Sappho'.
Easy to mock today, this laugh-out-loud would-be exposé is nonetheless revealing of the toxic attitudes towards queer women in some sectors of 1960s society. A wild and fascinating curio from a bygone era, with invaluable footage of pre-Stonewall Greenwich Village.
