Captive Women
When Elsa first arrives at the train station in her black SS uniform she is wearing the rank of Standartenfuhrer (Colonel, one oak leaf) which is correct for her character. When the train leaves the station and she is standing on the train looking out she is wearing a black SS uniform with the rank of Gruppenfuhrer (Lt. General, three oak leaves); this was a costuming error.,Edited into Convoi de filles (1979),Set during World War II, the action in this one takes place on board a train populated by young women forced into prostitution by their Nazi captors. An evil dominatrix overseer - the Fraulein of the title - surreptitiously tapes the conversations of the Nazi men who visit the girls, taking advantage of them opening up in these private moments. In this way she can entrap those disloyal to the Reich and have them taken out and executed.

Fraulein Kitty is another film which made up the short-lived Nazisploitation sub-genre which existed primarily in the late 70's. Most if these movies came from those purveyors of good taste the Italians but this was one of the few that was of French origin. It was produced by cheap-jack exploitation studio Eurociné who knocked out a variety of low-budget flicks of various kinds. With this one, while they have definitely produced a sexploitation film, it is most definitely very mild by Nazisploitation standards. Most of the ones I have seen are quite monumentally out-of-order to a degree that often boggles the mind. Of course, this makes them somewhat interesting curiosity pieces nowadays. Aside from a distinct lack of graphic violence, the main clue as to why this one is decidedly less offensive in nature is simply due to the fact that the victims here are the Germans themselves rather than the - usually (naked) female - inmates of concentration camps. Admittedly it does focus on a bunch of female prisoners who have been forced into train-based prostitution but for a Nazisploitation effort this is dealt with in an almost tasteful manner. Okay, these things are all relative you understand – it's still the kind of idea that film-makers from the present day wouldn't touch with a bargepole, which, as I said before is sort of what makes this most wilfully tasteless sub-genre so fascinating. To be absolutely honest, though, I actually didn't mind the lesser level of sleaze in this one and thought it made a bit of a change to watch one of these flicks without the associated squirm moments. Zis is good, ya?,
