This lurid, nightmarish film is the sequel to the notorious 1964 sexploitation film White Slaves of Chinatown, and, like its predecessor and immediate follow-up (Olga's House of Shame, also 1964), stars Audrey Campbell as Olga, the beautiful and sadistic head of a Mafia-controlled, Communist-funded prostitution and narcotics ring. Olga's Girls is the most plot-bound of the trio; here, Olga brutally quashes both a police snitch and a prostitute rebellion in her ranks, but, as with the other titles in the series, the story is little more than a framework for director Joseph P. Mawra and legendary exploitation producer George Weiss to hang around a string of crude and vicious bondage-and-domination-themed vignettes. Had these scenes been afforded any sort of budget, the hellbent vigor with which they are carried out would have made them unwatchable. But their power is somewhat diminished by a near-hysterical running commentary by Campbell and narrator Perry Peters, which replaces all sync sound and dialogue, as well as the primitively mimed performances. But the torture scenes, captured by cinematographer Werner Rose in an eerie mix of documentary and noir styles, retain an undeniably unsettling and alien feel, like footage transmitted from some ugly alternate reality. Longtime favorites of the rougher factions of New York's now-defunct 42nd Street scene, the three "Olga" films (a fourth, Olga's Dance Hall Girls, is a watered-down cash-in attempt) are advisable only for serious exploitation students or viewers with similar extracurricular tastes. First Run Features' VHS presentation includes the original trailer.
