Fun Stuff

Trivia:
This made-for-TV movie was released outside the USA in a more explicit version, proving to be an especially huge hit in China. The film's success in China was so substantial that star Deborah Raffin became the unofficial ambassador from Hollywood to China; she arranged meetings between Hollywood luminaries and Chinese leaders and filmmakers to get Chinese films distributed in America and American films released in China. Moreover, Raffin was nominated for an Emmy for her performance in the picture. more

Low budget, made for TV, and somewhat entertaining, 13 January 2007
Author: sasser-michael from United States

Whatever happened to Kim Wilson who played "Emiline?" She was the first victim of the evil Robert Reed. (Sorry for putting this in the review section, but there is no message board.) Want a review? Two cosmopolitan coeds from UCLA get arrested on trumped up charges in Mississippi. They can either put out for the sheriff, or risk a stint in the county work farm. These girls opt for the work farm, where they encounter sexual exploitation, physical violence, and even murder. Of course, every town in the south at this time was ruled over by corrupt law enforcement and had a county work farm to oppress women, African Americans, and other minorities. Unsuspecting, virtuous northerners were regularly imprisoned in such towns. Everyone knows this, right? Television icons Robert Reed (The Brady Bunch) and Tina Louise (Gilligan's Island) play villains in a departure from type casting. Despite the clichés this movie can be fun to watch so long as your expectations remain check.

But, the real question is, where is the lovely and talented Kim Wilson?
