7 Women from Hell (1961)
Patricia Owens is a fine actress and very pretty, but after the late 1950s, she either made bad choices or was given the lousy movies nobody else wanted. I sat through 7 Women from Hell because I thought her acting chops would be utilized, but it felt like a college production.
Patricia and a group of women are captured in New Guinea at the start of WWII and sent to a Japanese prison camp. The guards aren’t nice to them, the men are separated and sent to a different camp, the food is inedible, and there’s an attempted rape that involves and intense physical struggle. It’s a total copy of Three Came Home, even down to the “She’ll Be Coming Round the Mountain” song that isn’t nearly as effective in this movie as in the original. This version is really cheap, so you’re better off sticking with the original. You don’t believe for a minute Patricia or her friends are in a prison camp, from their endless attitude towards their captors that would undoubtedly earn them beatings or death in real life, to their salon-style hairdos that never get disheveled. And if you’re waiting for Cesar Romero or John Kerr to show up, you’re bound to be disappointed. John only has about five minutes of screen time, and Cesar doesn’t show up until the last ten minutes.
