Edward L. Cahn is not exactly the most famous of film directors, in fact he was better known for his editing, notably of ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT (1930). About 30 years later. Here we have him directing a shoestring B production, with buxom Mami van Doren singing and dishing out some caustic remarks whilst changing partners at breakneck speed.
Though Elaine Edwards is the other female to justify GIRLS in the plural in the film's title, van Doren stands far and away as the dominating figure, one would be dominatrix who does not succeed, even if her men try everything to put her up in cushy lifestyle: Gerald Mohr, as heist planner Chuck Wheeler (wheeler and dealer until his wheels come off); Lee van Cleef as the cuckolded hubby who beats it out of the pen at a most inappropriate time; the hapless Grant Richards... and a voiceover FBI-like narration that tells you from the outset all will go down the tubes for the outlaws-
Oh well, cinematography by Ken Peach is peachy and the screenplay by Robert Kent has some some sharp moments. Worthy of one watch at least. 7/10.
