An Interesting Sexploitation Film from the 1970s

"Marianne" (Anne-Marie Provencher) is an attractive young woman who supports her father and siblings by working in a Canadian textile factory during the day. Unfortunately, to keep her job, she is often forced to satisfy the sexual desires of her boss after work. Then one day, the decision is made to farm her out to a cruel pimp named "Dan Campbell" (Miguel Fernandes), who manages a sex-slavery operation for the mob. However, before she can be sent to one of the brothels, a former prostitute named "Cindy" (Andree Pelletier) suddenly arrives on the scene and relocates her to a safe place. Needless to say, this angers Dan, leading to hostility between him and Cindy, who becomes determined to shut down his operation by continuing to free as many young women as she can. Now, rather than reveal any more, I'll simply say this was an interesting sexploitation film from the 1970s that effectively used the Canadian setting to its advantage, with good performances by both Andree Pelletier and Anne-Marie Provencher. On a technical level, some scenes had poor lighting, and the actors' voices were muffled or subdued in several parts. That said, although I might have preferred a bit more drama or suspense here and there, the movie still passed the time reasonably well, and I rated it accordingly.

Pretty Strong Stuff!

I saw this on Canadian Pay TV back in the mid 1980s and was surprised by the heavy quotient of violence, given how it was sometimes shown early in the morning. The story is about a prostitute and some of her pals who decide to rebel against their pimp who naturally doesn't take it too well and this leads to an underworld war. In addition to some heavy violence, there is some pretty strong nudity and sex in the film and not so much the erotic type but the cheap, sleazy, peephole type. The film does indeed have a gritty, anything goes, street-quality to it but none of the actors show much talent and there isn't really anyone to root for. The film almost qualifies for an X-rating and seems like it was designed mainly for the porno house crowd, though even they may be turned off by the bad taste this film leaves behind.
