2.0 out of 5 starsElectrically shocked behind bars
By L.J.F.64 on 12 April 2015
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
A jewel thief double crosses his accomplises, who have stolen diamonds, but is then shot dead by his lover who confesses and is sent to prison. Thinking she knows where the missing diamonds are the prison warden tries to get it out of her using cruel techniques although she has her own plans.

Another Jess Franco foray into the women in prison genre. All the usual ingredients- female nudity, zooms, lesbianism and some slightly dubious writing add up to a not so wonderful 70's Euro WIP exploitation. The plot at least starts off for a Franco film quite well, a somewhat intriguing diamond robbery were most of the culprits seem to be getting murdered, but this is quickly thrown away when we reach the prison in favour of the usual Franco scenes although at the end when she escapes (with the help of Billy played by the man himself) the diamond robbery plot comes back into the fray, it's a shame as this could have been quite an interesting story but it does play second fiddle. Lina Romay is a beautiful woman and plays the lead role well, in fact for a Franco film the acting is actually not bad, pacing at the beginning and the last 10-15mins is again not bad for Franco however the large majority of the picture is at the prison and it suffers at points becoming so slow most will consider switching it off. There are a couple of scenes that must have contributed it to becoming a video nasty including a whipping sequence and an uncomfortable scene where Romay gets her bits shocked by electricity and the camera zooms in (good old Jess).

By no means the worst of the nasties or of Franco's films in some respects it's actually more watchable than quite a few of his others, but this is not a film for the general horror audience it's just too slow and alienating for most.

HASH(0x959a030c) out of 5 stars Hard Time In The Big House... 24 July 2013
By Bindy Sue Frønkünschtein - Published on Amazon.com
Format: DVD
WOMEN BEHIND BARS opens w/ a trio of masked thieves committing a robbery. One of them murders the other two, and takes a case that supposedly holds millions of dollars worth of diamonds w/ him. He meets up w/ his girlfriend, named Shirley Fields (Lina Romay), who shoots him dead! Enter a man named Milton, out to recover the stolen diamonds. He tracks Shirley to a maximum security women's prison. Milton watches through binoculars as the story in the prison unfolds. He eventually visits Shirley, but who really cares about him anyway? The "warden" of the posh penitentiary, in his black turtleneck, looks sort of like a beatnik version of Tom Savini. He's the standard pervert, out to "help" the inmates as often as he possibly can. Of course, this is a Jess Franco film, so the female inmates are all beautiful, and constantly looking for excuses to shed their burdensome clothes. Not that there's all that much clothing to begin with! The prison uniforms consist of long shirts w/ no pants, and high heels! There is the obligatory torture to accentuate the rampant nudity. The merciless warden likes to watch the whippings like the heinous ghoul he is! He's downright giddy when Shirley is chained to the terrible "hot seat". Yikes! There are plenty of adult situations that give Mr. Franco ample excuse to... um, zoom in. Though dull and talky in many spots, WBB is still better than Franco's 99 WOMEN (aka: ISLAND OF DESPAIR). The finale, where Shirley turns the tables, isn't bad at all...

Let's admit it, it's all about the full frontal nudity. These movies don't disappoint. Don't know if I'll watch a second time. Kind of a waste of money in that regard.

By Charming - Published on Amazon.com
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
First, the plot is weak. Second, the whipping scenes in the prison are kind of play. Third, a lot of naked women scenes.
But no hardcore sex. Fourth, the extra is the worst to me. The Director during the interview is in very bad shape and taste.
Guess what? White beard and toothless.

This movie is about erotic human bodies. Girls do the job. Director kills appetite or motive.
