Joseph P. Mawra – White Slaves of Chinatown (1964)

Quote:
The beautiful, brutal Olga procures prostitutes and pushes heroin for the syndicate, confining and torturing her pretty victims in a private dungeon located in New York City’s sinister Chinatown.

Quote:
WHITE SLAVES OF CHINATOWN (a title that incited enough protests by Chinatown residents to warrant a brief title change to OLGA’S WHITE SLAVES) was the first in the official trilogy and is my personal favorite of the films. The time: 1964. The place: New York City, a cold, snowy winter. Olga Petroff (Audrey Campbell) makes her living picking up wayward women just out of the womens’ discipline centers and forcing them to become prostitutes and drug dealers! If they refuse, there’ll be Hell to pay! Olga has her own private torture dungeon, which she frequents brandishing a maniacal smile and her trusty whip! She employs various torture racks and the old favorite, spinning women upside-down! For a film that’s only 70 minutes long, a lot happens: Frenchie (gorgeous personal fetish figure Gigi Darlene of BAD GIRLS GO TO HELL) is a diplomat’s daughter whom Olga tortures so her father can send her money to fund Olga’s drug trafficking; Olga falls in love with one of her innocent captives; Olga’s female henchman helps one girl try to escape with dire results. And I didn’t even mention the women shooting up heroin or the back alley abortion (with George Weiss as “the filthy old butcher”!)!! It may sound like these are filthy misogynistic smut movies, but the camp levels are through the roof! None of the violence has dated well, and none of the actresses display fear or pain realistically, so never fear, anything disturbing about these atrocities has been erased. Which can’t be said for the ILSA films, direct descendants of Mawra’s trilogy. The film is entirely narrated, with no post-synch or live dialogue, and the melodramatic narration by Joel Holt is a real hoot, especially when he imitates dialogue by the characters when their mouths don’t even open! Audrey Campbell narrates her own inner monologues with plenty of gusto, with some choice nuggets of dialogue (“That’s it…I want a man… Want a man…I NEED a man!!”; “Two-bit whore! I’ll show you what we do to tramps like you!”). Exploitation films shot in New York City almost always show location footage of the Big Apple pre-Disney and WHITE SLAVES offers plenty of glances at Chinatown 40 years ago, including peeks inside shop windows and along food stands. The requisite library music is on-hand, including familiar Michael Findlay cues, a repetitive catchy Oriental theme, and best of all, an overworked record of Mussorgsky’s “Night on Bald Mountain,” the use of which was put into overdrive as the series progressed! As a side note, the newspaper headlines flashed at the start of the film are recycled from old 1930s roadshow attractions!
