one of my absolute favorites!
Excellent, a Must See
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

View Morewhat a delight this was by Roger Corman, king of the B movies,, first off you got all these pretty women running around in shorts, so for starters nothing wrong with that,, the movie itself was pretty darn good, you have a plot that goes like this.. female undercover police officer goes to prison as an inmate to break out the three girls who have managed to hide lot's of precious jewels worth millions. question is will the girls trust their "new Partner" as time goes on they do so they all go down into the bayou, swamp whatever you wanna call it, and that's when things really start to heat up,, the girls take a young couple hostage and then things really start to heat up when the girls begin to argue about how things should be done.. very good movie from roger corman.
View More***SPOILERS*** The movie "Swamp Woman" has a storyline very similar to a porno flick with a poor and helpless man Bob Matthews being tied up and held hostage by a gang of sexy man hungry women one of them an undercover policewoman.The gals escaped from prison and are now looking for some $500,000.00 in diamonds from a previous robbery hidden in the Louisiana swamp country. It 's not long that the hungry for male companionship, as well as for love, gals lead by their leader the tomboy like Josie start to get hot and steamed up over Bob instead of the diamonds that their looking for. It's undercover policewoman Let. Lee Hampton who was the organizer of the women convicts escape from prison who also falls for the handsome and well groomed Bob. Who even when he jumps into the swamps and fights off a rubber alligator to unsuccessfully save his girlfriend Marie, who was kidnapped along with him, he didn't have as much as one strand of hair on his head out of place.It soon becomes apparent to Josie that Lee isn't exactly whom she claims to be, a woman convict, as well as her being jealous of her taking the handsome and tied up Bob away from her. By then the local police lead by captain Goodridge got the jump on the girls and were coming in for the kill or arrest. It's then when Bob who seemed to be asleep or high on drugs during the entire movie suddenly comes alive and ends up with his hands tied behind his back kicking butt, especially the firm and shapely butt of Josise, all over the place until the swamp police come to both his and Lee's rescue. As for the diamonds nobody seems to care about them anymore since the script writers,in them being so caught up with the sexy gals many cats fights in the film, seemed to have completely forgot about them.One of Roger Cormans early ventures that soon was to set him on the road to success as one of the greats in making bad movies that the public loves on cheap and shoe string budgets. It was later when Corman gets the funding to make more or less conventional films that his success started to wane it that his bad movie loving audience wasn't exactly that interested in them.
View MoreThis film might be considered awful, but this film was very entertaining and Roger Corman created a very low budget film with some great stars like Mike Connors, (Bob Matthews) and Beverly Garland as Vera. This film takes place in Bayou Lacombe, Louisiana and New Orleans, and deals with a woman named Police Lt. Lee Hampton, (Carole Mathews) who is willing to enter a prison of women and obtain information about stolen diamonds. Vera and Josie, (Marie Windsor) are women prisoners and Lee Hampton is in the same jail cell and cons these two criminals into escaping from jail in order to obtain these diamonds and catch them in a very swampy area in which they are hidden. Bob Matthews has the misfortune of being held prisoner by these very sexy and hot young gals and he has to try and out smart these very cruel and dangerous women. Enjoy.
View MoreAn undercover female police officer is sent to prison to infiltrate a gang of female convicts and help them escape. By gaining their trust, the police hope that the gang will lead them to a fortune in diamonds buried somewhere in the swamps of Louisiana. But things don't go quite as planned. Greed and lust take over as the women start fighting each other over the diamonds and their male hostage.Call me crazy, but I enjoyed Swamp Diamonds (or Swamp Women if you prefer) more than a lot of people seem to. Don't get me wrong, I can see all of the problems with this Roger Corman effort that others have pointed out dodgy acting, padding galore, plot holes, etc. And to find any entertainment in the movie, you've got to get past scenes that tend to drag and plod. But once you do, Swamp Diamonds is a joy of 50s exploitation. It's got it all: a crazy story, buried treasure, escaped female convicts, Beverly Garland, guns, over the top acting, short-shorts, alligators, and "Touch" Connors ("Touch"? What's up with that?) Together, these elements combine to make this one quite a bit of fun. It's not perfect, but I've got no problem rating Swamp Diamonds a 6/10.This is another movie that I might not have discovered if it weren't for Mystery Science Theater 3000. Maybe I was just having fun with the movie, but I'll give this episode of MST3K a 4/5 worth seeking out.
