Description

They caged their bodies...but not their desires! Pam Grier joins a group of sexy young female prisoners in their struggle against a sadistic warden. This shocking film is perhaps one of the most influential of all women-in-prison films! Roger Corman Early Films Collection Known for his keen eye in spotting raw talent, the Roger Corman Early Films Collection features Hollywood's brightest talent beginning their journey on the walk of fame. "Big Doll House was the second film for my new company New World Pictures and I wanted a sure hit. Hollywood had a long tradition of women-in-prison movies and no one had done one recently. While the script of Big Doll House was originally set in Los Angeles, I realized I could get a bigger-looking film for the same money in the Philippines. So I sent director Jack Hill there with a number of great-looking women, including Pam Grier, who left her job as a secretary. Big Doll House broke drive-in records and launched a new series of successful films for me." -- Roger Corman
