Tramp
One of the all time classic exploitation
films! Made in 1966 by unknown filmmaker
Joseph G. Prieto (who bizarrely enough,
was an actor in Carol Reed’s Our
Man In Havana), it doesn't get any
sleazier than this one. The story concerns
an amoral sharecropper's daughter as she
attempts to seduce an evangelist and then
disastrously flirts with a biker gang.
Lucky for her a young black man is around
to save her from the gang. He takes her
home, only to have her molesting father
accuse him of rape! And from there, things
just get worse. You’ll find just
about every staple of the sweat soaked
southern exploitation genre in this one.
From racist, bumbling white cops, a generically
stereotyped aunt Jemima black mammy, a
drunk and abusive father who molests his
daughter, a money hungry redneck preacher,
a good hearted black man who loves the
sinful and sultry white woman, lots of
folks wiping their brows with handkerchiefs
and licking their lips, this one has it
all! A true must have for any and all
sleaze hounds!!
