Truck Stop Women (1974)

aka Truckstop Women

How bad is it? Typical exploitation fare.
Should you see it? Yes. All Claudia Jennings films are worth seeing.


I love Claudia Jennings. If you haven't seen "Gator Bait" or "The Great Texas Dynamite Chase," do so. Among the many exploitation films she did in her brief career, this one is probably the least endearing, and perhaps the cheapest. In New Mexico, a woman runs a brothel at a truck stop. The mafia decides to take over. The madame's daughter (Jennings) decides to fight back. There's car chases and shoot-outs and a lot of nudity - including the memorable assets of Uschi Digard, who has no lines (probably because of her accent). Jennings plays a seriously hard depraved sociopath, which doesn't match her usual breezy performances, but shows she had range. The film's low budget does show. The best scene is probably a guy getting trampled by cattle.
