Bad Girls Go To Hell
1965
B&W
65 mins
Gigi Darlene
Maverick sexploitation filmmaker Doris Wishman's 1965 cheapie
Bad Girls Go to Hell is a sexual nightmare that unfolds with the
insouciance and inspiration of a child's drawing. A comic-book
variation on Sade's Justine, it's the tale of Meg Kelton (a
darkly Monroe-like GiGi Darlene), a sexually neglected Boston
housewife who must flee to New York after she accidentally kills
the janitor who raped her. There her melancholy innocence is
violated, again and again, as she is taken in by seeming Good
Samaritans only to be exploited by leering, lecherous men and
women.
Filming in glorious and gritty black and white, offers us the
beautiful and talented Gigi Darlene as an everywoman in 1960's
urban America suffering the birth-pains of the sexual
revolution. Take a peek at this, if you ever get the
opportunity, to see an example of the art that influenced pulp
film-makers of the 1960's and 1970's, John Waters, and many
musicians and artists active in the Punk scene.

Chained For Life
1950
B&W
80 mins
Daisy and
Violet Hilton (actual Siamese twins), Allen Jenkin.
The conjoined twins Violet Hilton and Daisy Hilton, also seen
in Tod Browning's classic Freaks and the smarmy Slash of the
Knife, star in this interesting melodrama about love, betrayal,
and murder. They play Vivian and Dotty Hamilton,
joined-at-the-spine singers in a vaudeville show managed by the
unscrupulous Ted Hinckley (Allen Jenkins). Hinckley pays a
sharpshooter named Andre Pariseau 100 dollars a week to date
Dotty as a publicity stunt. When the pair are married, Dotty's
desire to be surgically separated from her sister leads the
panicked Violet to shoot Pariseau dead, and she stands trial
(with Dotty, naturally) for murder. Despite the exploitative ad
campaign, this is a well-done melodrama presenting a realistic
(?) situation in an engaging way. Viewers may still get the
feeling that they might go to Hell for watching it, but at least
it avoids the sleazy implications of Slash of the Knife. The
British-born Hilton sisters were exploited in real life from a
very early age, with their mother pimping them to various
carnival freak shows around Britain and the U.S. Aside from
their film and nightclub work, they were best known for an
actual trial in which they were named as the other women in a
divorce case. Their Pittsburgh hotel went belly-up in the 1950s
and they ran a fruit-stand in Florida until they died in 1964 at
the ages of 56.
