KINO LORBER BLU RAY RELEASE: Prison Girls 3D (1972)

Before Tom DeSimone made Hell Night, Reform School Girls and Savage Streets, he made “The First Real Adult Film in 3D!”

It’s definitely in 3D but softcore, so you could share it with your dad while you can’t show it to your mom. I don’t know. What I do know is that it goes straight for women in prison movie convention by starting in the shower where Gertie (Annik Borel, the Werewolf Woman) attempts to get with Cindy (Uschi Digard!) but gets foiled when the other girls show up and say that Dr. Reinhardt is letting them go into the general population of the real world for two days as part of their rehabilitation.

None of it goes well because the world outside is just as challenging as a prison. But you do get to see Candy Samples get her body painted, and it’s in 3D. The other ladies are Kay Rivers (Jacqueline Giroux, Linda from Trick or Treats as well as appearances in Drive-In Massacre and Cinderella 2000), Toni (Tracy Handfuss, A Clock Work Blue, Psyched by the 4D Witch), Joyce (Maria Arnold, FantasmMeatcleaver Massacre and Wam Bam Thank You Space Man) and Melba (Liz Wolfe, Fantasm Comes Again). Plus Linda York (AuditionsA Scream In the Streets), Marsha Jordan (Teen-Age Jail Bait), Neola Graef (Cries of Ecstasy, Blows of Death),  Peggy Church (The Pig Keeper’s Daughter) and Susan Landis (Blood Sabbath).

It’s less a movie than a series of lovemaking scenes. One could argue that The Stewardesses was a 3D adult movie three years before, but look, the fact that Kino Lorber made this look so good is a tribute to the fact that some amazing stuff is coming out on physical media that we had no idea that we’d ever get, much less have it in 3D.

The Kino Lorber Blu-ray of Prison Girls 3D has been meticulously remastered in three sensational dimensions by 3-D Film Archive. It also features commentary by James G. Chandler and Ash Hamilton, a deleted scene, a trailer and versions of the movie in 2D, BD3D polarized and anaglyphic (Red/Cyan) 3-D. You also get a pair of anaglyphic 3D glasses with the movie. You can order it from Kino Lorber.
