La tigresa

"La Tigresa" is VERY similar to the films of Russ Meyer: overtly sexy, well endowed women, frequently undressed, in violent physical confrontations with other buxom babes. And like Meyer's films, we get an incredibly sordid and melodramatic story, about a young, innocent girl, who is turned bad by the lowlife scum that abuse and exploit her. After our beautiful heroine is slut shamed at the public swimming pool, and terrorized at the local high school, she must endure a home life with a crazy alcoholic father who extorts booze money from his timid daughter. After her father dies, trying to protect his timid daughter from being raped, she falls into despair. That is until she discovers she was inherited $500,000. Now most people would use that money to escape the ghetto for a better life. But not our heroine, who decides to transform herself into a blonde vixen, and find the scum who caused her father's death! "La Tigresa" is filled with crazy imagery and quick cut edits, and it seems the director was influenced greatly by Russ Meyers work. Although this is a Spanish production with Spanish dialog, it was actually filmed in New York, and features some wonderful scenes of the city during the late 60s. Highly recommended obscure Grindhouse classic that is absolutely worth tracking down.
