P.T. Barnum once said "There's a sucker born every minute." Consider this recent release, an alleged compilation tape featuring a look at moviedom's "bad girls." But instead of your Sybil Dannings, Pam Griers and Claudia Jennings, we get Yvonne De Carlo, Diana Dors and some other anonymous "baddies" in some really awful clips.

A shot-on-video story about a woman criminal explaining to her warden why she is a bad girl attempts to link the otherwise unrelated clips. Apparently director Dominic Paris thought this dumb and humorless framing device is enough of an excuse for a tape. He's very wrong. It's OK to show us clips of bad girls (even in bad movies) if it's done in a semi-imaginative fashion.

The clips here are from films that, for the most part, are unknown, and apparently Lightning Video wants to keep them that way. There's little on-screen identification offered (other than credits for the shot-on-video segments), giving one the impression that Lightning is embarrassed by the product they've delivered. But they shouldn't be embarrassed with their subject, rather the dreadful way it is presented.
