Greta - Haus ohne Männer
"Young Girls ... CHAINED ... CONDEMNED To a Life of TORMENT at the Hands of Their Beautiful, BRUTAL Captor!"
Change of name and destination South America. As a manual for the perfect commander of some European regimes dissolved.
Despite the new hairstyle is easy to recognize Greta Delgado: it's Ilsa. Easy to unmask her, she also makes the same job as always. So her fans recognize her and call her as always the have done.. Then
for purely commercial reasons, the film is also marketed in some
countries as "Ilsa The Wicked Warden" or even "Ilsa and something else."
Joking aside the great Jess Franco creates a great "Women in Prison" with the skill and cunning of which is known.
He takes
advantage of the aesthetic and commercial power of Dyanne Thorne and
Lina Romay and puts a lot 'of his madness in this work iof 1977. From
the aesthetics to the choice of shots with the classic excessive use of
zoom, to the less technical but more morbid desire to set fights
and quarrels in the showers, where nothing is left to the imagination,
adding heavy and sarcastic jokes, concluding with the parallel with the animal
world, already seen for example in "Vampyros Lesbos", which here is
represented by lions eating flesh in parallel to the scene of
cannibalism that closes the movie.
Different
context, different direction, but the similarities with the series of
"Ilsa" are many and carry "Greta..." to be a sort of
spin-off or unofficial sequel. Less
torture and less blood, more erotic scenes for a work that is lighter then "Barbed Wire Dolls" the
"Women in Prison" by Franco of 1975 of which "Greta ..." shares the same cast and same set.
Dyanne
Thorne is Greta Delgado sadistic lesbian-director of a women's clinic,
endorsed by the regime, for sexual diseases and whose methods of
rehabilitation are quite grim.
The line "Where are my panties? Here
you do not need these!" Makes it clear that life in this place is not
exactly an example of human rights, in addition to the fact that "cures
"and performanceof patients, end up in a Super8 that
feeds the morbidity of a local man. This
hospital intrigues Dr. Acosta (played by Franco) who in cahoots with
the sister of a hospitalized, weaves a plan to expose the violence and
torture of place.
Between
fights, violence, treachery and spies who have sex with Greta, as the
beautiful Juana, Lina Romay, the girls find the strength to react.
Greta/Ilsa-ends her career here after three official films, plus this, that saw her star of the popular series. Dyanne
Thorne also didn't much else, some other appearance before closing her
career with "Real Men" in the company of Dan Akroyd. Then she celebrate weddings in Las Vegas with her her husband.
