This dark, offbeat thriller is characteristic fare from B-movie auteur Jack Hill, who was largely responsible for defining the blaxploitation genre, as well as starting the trend of women's prison movies of the 1970s. Patrick Magee (DR. JEKYLL ET LES FEMMES) stars as an insane murderer holed up in a hotel in Venice, CA. He crosses paths with an equally unbalanced artist, with whom he teams up, and they hatch a plan to steal a valuable Titian painting. A bizarre series of events, including an episode that features Magee covered in wax, leads to an unlikely heroine: a stripper who risks her life to save the day. [More]
