Deep fried steamy swamp trash gumbo
10 July 2011 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

Back in the day, audiences of the Fifties were bitten by the "white trash" bug for a brief moment in pop culture. Staid moral suburbanites were entranced by the sexy doins' of the poor way south of the Mason-Dixon line. "Louisana Hussy" (1959) was a worthy entry into the earthy charms of stories set in God's little acre, giving said staid 50's moviegoers a chance to walk on the wild side, no matter that they got there by car to the local drive-in instead of passage on the streetcar named Desire. The titular hussy (ahem) played by Nan Peterson serves up sex, lies, and cleavage as the mysterious woman who eventually comes (ahem) between Cajun brothers in this mudbug melodrama. Evidently filmed on location, the hussy schemes her way around all the red-blooded bayou guys by force of her 42 double-Ds, which jiggle jauntily among the fish nets and sad looking dried out coonskins. This is a tale of immorality, deceit, and people who only own one set of clothing. Ms. Hussy turns brother against brother, causes suicide, commits robbery, threatens a gris-gris woman with hand boiling, and clutches many a bedsheet with her painted talons. Gripping salacious drama probably caused a lot of dropped popcorn attempting to heat up the screen in this deep-fried batter dipped bayou corndog of passions run wild. While not as willfully anarchist as "Shanty Tramp", "Hussy" does deliver in the clinches, and allows the scheming female to escape all punishment, free to roam the South in search of weak men in plaid shirts.
