User review from imdb by Michael Elliot:
Silly but entertaining sex comedy from Jess Franco set in Central America. The story revolves around four prostitutes (including Lina Romay, Pamela Stanford) who are on the run from a group of bandits and hide in a convent pretending to be nuns. The film runs a very short 63-minutes, which is just about right since we mainly get comedic sex scenes involving the four girls trying to sleep their way out of trouble. There are also countless lesbian scenes and Franco certainly knows how to shoot these and make them very erotic. The print I viewed was in French only and was P&S so hopefully a remastered version will show up at some point.Read More »
