Despite it's hothouse retitling as School For Unclaimed Girls, this film is a fairly easygoing tale of a girl gone ever so slightly bad and the lesbians she meets in the aforementioned school. There is a fair amount of full frontal nudity, some rather chaste lesbian kisses, and a little bid of bloodshed. It all adds up to not very much, though fans of late 60s British quota quickies will definitely want to catch it. Producer Peter Newbrook went on to direct the horror fave The Asphyx, director Robert Hartford-Davis was also responsible for Incense For the Damned and The Fiend, and scribe John Peacock went on to pen Hammer's To the Devil A Daughter.
