फ़ीचर्ड समीक्षाएं
This is another "hicksploitation" movie, a genre largely pioneered by Russ Meyer and Roger Corman but really stretching all the way back to roadshow classics like "Poor White Trash" and "Child Bride". As these films go this is a rather tame, PG-rated version, but this does give it some of the charm of my much beloved 1970's bigfoot movies, except that instead of bigfoot we have a wee bit of blonde jailbait named "Janeen" who is the titutlar "swamp girl". As you might imagine "Janeen" is a girl who lives a swamp, but like bigfoot she is enough of a local legend to have a country/bluegrass song written about. She is white, but lives with an African-American "Pa". In the exposition-heavy beginning, "Pa" relates her origins to her for the benefit of the viewer. They basically involve "Pa's" former employer, a swamp rat abortionist who ran a side business selling "girl childs" to Arab sheiks and such on the white slavery market (which would be a pretty sick idea for a PG movie if it weren't so ludicrous).
"Janean's" idyllic existence in the swamp is threatened, first by a nice-guy "swamp warden" who is pressured to charge her with the death of a poacher she in fact rescued, then by a vicious Bonnie and Clyde-type couple lamming it in the swamp, and finally by her birth parents, who upon discovering her existence want to bring her back to civilization.
The swamp girl is played by Simone Griffeth, who's actually pretty good in her first role. She was only about sixteen at the time, which kind of precluded the full-frontal nude scenes she did in later films like "The Young Prey" and "Death Race 2000". Disappointing as that may be to many, the bigger problem is that she is a little miscast here--she is simply not the the feisty, tomboy type like say Claudia Jennings who played a similar role in the later and more well-known "Gator Bait". Griffith is very pretty, but looks more like an underage and underfed fashion model slumming in the backwoods than anything (you have to wonder for instance where she gets her hair care products in a swamp).I'd still maybe recommend this to those who don't mind PG-rated "hicksploitation" or are big fans of Griffeth. But for most people though I'd recommend something more like "Gator Bait" or a good Southern-fried bigfoot flick like "Legend of Boggy Creek", or, if you just want to see a lot "more" of an older and more voluptuous Griffeth, "Death Race 2000".

SWAMP GIRL begins with a blonde-haired girl of the swamp paddling her way through the swampland. She deposits something of interest on the swamp bank, while nearby, the swamp ranger (Ferlin Husky) strums his guitar, crooning the ballad of the SWAMP GIRL. Her name is Janeen (Simone Griffeth).
The great thing about swamp country is that you don't need a car. Just hop in your air-boat and woosh! You're bouncing over gators in no time flat!
Swamp ranger and girl meet. We are shown that she lives in a dilapidated shack with her swamp dad, who appears to be about five years her senior
Uh oh!
A pair of hardened criminals find the shack, and abduct Janeen. Things get a bit complicated from here.
If you're in the mood for a swamp romp, then this movie should satisfy. It's ridiculous, yet absolutely mesmerizing!
SWAMP GIRL CONTAINS: #1- Illegal abortions! #2- Human trafficking! #3- Snake farming! #4- Catfish angling swamp-billies! #5- More Ferlin Husky than one could ever dream of!
Yes, the ballad of SWAMP GIRL is played again during the end credits!...

Swamp Girl (1971)
** (out of 4)
Deep in the swamps of Georgia, legend has it that there's a blonde woman (Simone Griffeth) who lurks in the wilderness. Many people have claimed to have seen her yet there's no real proof. That is until one day when the sheriff goes chasing after her and finally manages to talk to her. Soon after a pair of criminals kill her Pa and force her to take them through the swamp.
SWAMP GIRL certainly isn't a long-lost classic and it's certainly not Oscar-material but I'm pretty sure you already know that. During the 1970's there were all sorts of Southern exploitation pictures that managed to find a spot on various drive-in screens and that's exactly where the majority of them belong. This film here certainly isn't the best of the sub-genre but at the same time it's far from the worst.
I think the best thing this one has going for it are the actual locations. The majority of the running time takes place in the swamp where we get plenty of shots of various wildlife and this here is certainly the highlight of the picture. The setting is obviously just right for the story and I also thought Griffeth was good enough for the role. With that said, there's no question that this is pretty much lacking any sort of real story and calling it a well-made movie would be a mistake.
Still, if you're a fan of these type of no-budget pictures then there's certainly much worse out there so this one here is worth watching out.

Swamp Girl is one of those rare cinematic masterpieces that dares to explore and plunge into the toxic spirit that lies deep within disturbed and corrupt souls who try in vain to lay claim to the fruits of an Eden-like swampland in Georgia. Simone Griffeth brilliantly pulls off a complex character study, bridging the gap between an innocent doe-like teen free from the binds of society, yet possessing a believable drive to "deliver the goods" when outside pressure invades her turf. If you are an NRA member, you might be turned off by Simone's anti-firearm declaration (taunting a foe who is powerless without their gun,etc.), but open your mind, and the payoff is worth it! So open up and find a copy of Swamp Girl!
SWAMP GIRL (1971)
I don't even know what I saw with this utterly boring film. There's a pretty blonde woman who endured some hard knocks as a child and then continued her entire life living in a stinky swamp in Georgia. She was raised by a black man who she now affectionately calls her "pa", but ultimately has to defend her homeland when ruthless outsiders threaten to interfere. Whatever.
I was checking some of the other positive reviews here and I can only surmise that I must have watched a different movie.
