Louisiana Hussy

ANOTHER MAN'S TRASH...MY TREASURE!!!
I thought I was in for another exploitation laugh-fest but this little swamp gem caught me off guard. The lead characters are all interesting and somewhat offbeat, as is the setting, a small Louisiana parish nestled in the bayou, making this one fun to watch. If this film had taken place in some small California town, it would lose much of it's unique low-budget charm.
The Guillot brothers, suppliers of fish, fur and moss (as posted on their shanty) are at each other's throats because the younger, Pierre (Robert Richards) is marrying the pretty girl (Betty Lynn, Thelma Lou of Mayberry) that both he and his brother Jacques (Peter Coe) are in love with. Pierre scrubs down for his big event by jumping into the swamp next to the shanty for a bath and shave. No running water here. When he asks Jacques to please attend the ceremony he receives a solid punch to the jaw. Jacques and the brothers' old helper/employee go moss gathering on their barge/boat instead. Out in the swamp they...

Entertaining and pretty scandalous for 1958!
B-Movie about a troublemaking young lady in the bayous of Louisiana starts weak but ends with a suprisingly strong finish. Worth 85 minutes of your time.

Don't Make a "Fussy" Over This "Hussy"!
I grew up in the 50's...but somehow I don't even recall hearing about this picture. The title alone made me laugh! Bought it thinking I couldn't possibly watch all of it...but the graphic cover sold me! Turns out to be a fairly entertaining movie...for a B movie...or should I say C? Must have been great fun seeing it at a drive-in theater with your favorite girlfriend! The price is right...so if you're ready for a "steamy sex movie from the 50's"...this is the one for you!
