The Sin Syndicate

Passable skin flick stars the quartet of Yolanda Moreno (as Dolores), June Roberts (as Candy), Darlene Bennett (as Monica), and Judy Adler (as Lorna). Fate has turned these ladies into "zero girls", or "party girls", used and abused by "the Syndicate". The story set-up has them testifying before a Senate committee, where they each spin a yarn describing their journeys to their present situations.

The prolific Michael Findlay strikes again with this watchable trash. Attempts to be somewhat arty mix with some utter crudity, such as the incredibly poor dubbing. The music and the stark black & white photography help to make it reasonably atmospheric. One very amusing thing that Findlay does to pad the running time is to utilize copious stock footage of the Cuban Revolution, the London Blitz, and the bombing of a battleship. The movie only runs an hour and five minutes even with this padding, so it could have been quite brief indeed.

"The Sin Syndicate" is really all about the girl watching, and our very attractive cast indulge in some protracted dance routines. There's also some very uncomfortable scenes of torture, and, blessedly, a gratuitous lesbian shower sequence right near the end that makes it all worthwhile. "Does this make us lesbians?" "No, we're just tired of men."

Six out of 10.
