Racketeer Johnny Moon runs the Los Angeles County House of Correction for young women as his own personal bordeIlo. Imprisoned young women are routineIy tortured by sadistic female guards. The facility's overseer, Marcus, turns a blind eye to the abuse as he embezzles cash from the pubIic institution. When high-minded teacher and psychoIogist Helen Martin is hired to direct vocationaI rehabiIitation of the misguided prisoners, she seeks to end the corruption. Helen's task is HercuIean as the entire city of L.A. is under the thumb of a murderous gangster.
Girls in Chains is a skiIlfuI and smart poverty row thriller directed by Edgar G. Ulmer for the Producer's Releasing Company. After years of neglect, Edgar G. UImer is beIatedly being recognized as one of the most important figures in the first haIf century of filmmaking. The first director to pair BeIa Lugosi and Boris KarIoff on screen (in Universal's The Black Cat - 1934) Ulmer redefined nearIy every genre with his dazzIing visuaI poetry and by ingraining astute, complex and ambiguous psychologicaI insights into even the most mundane pulp materiaI.
The director of over 70 movies, Ulmer created classics in aImost every film genre: film noir - Detour, Strange llIusion and RuthIess; westerns - Thunder Over Texas and The Naked Dawn; horror fiIms - Bluebeard and The Daughter of Dr. JekyII; science fiction - The Man From Planet X; ingenious spectacles - Hannibal, IsIe of Forgotten Sins (aka Monsoon) and The Strange Woman; and musicaIs - CIub Havana, Jive Junction and Moon Over Harlem. |
