Even at 67 minutes, it goes on for far too long, and fails to hold interest. One of its few mildly redeeming qualities is statuesque Marie Windsor, who is always fun to watch. On the other hand, as noted by Scott Ashlin (see his <a href=\"http:\/\/www.1000misspenthours.com\/reviews\/reviewsn-z\/swampwomen.htm\">&#8220;1000 Misspent Hours Review&#8221;<\/a>), it&#8217;s likely that <em>Swamp Women<\/em> was &#8220;a big hit with San Francisco&#8217;s lesbian underground at the time of its release&#8221;, due to the fact that &#8220;the women of the title divide neatly into a femme pair&#8230; and a butch pair&#8221; &#8212; with the ostensible male lead (Touch Connors) eventually fading into the background. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/Swamp-Women-Connor.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/Swamp-Women-Connor-1024x706.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"441\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-61497\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/Swamp-Women-Connor-1024x706.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/Swamp-Women-Connor-300x207.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/Swamp-Women-Connor-128x88.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/Swamp-Women-Connor-768x529.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/Swamp-Women-Connor-392x270.png 392w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/Swamp-Women-Connor.png 1365w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Marie Windsor as Josie<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/Swamp-Women-Windsor.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/Swamp-Women-Windsor-1024x684.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"428\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-61496\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/Swamp-Women-Windsor-1024x684.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/Swamp-Women-Windsor-300x201.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/Swamp-Women-Windsor-128x86.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/Swamp-Women-Windsor-768x513.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/Swamp-Women-Windsor-404x270.png 404w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/Swamp-Women-Windsor.png 1399w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>The women conveniently changing their prison-issue jeans into sexy short-shorts<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/Swamp-Women-Shorts.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/Swamp-Women-Shorts-1024x719.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"449\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-61495\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/Swamp-Women-Shorts-1024x719.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/Swamp-Women-Shorts-300x211.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/Swamp-Women-Shorts-128x90.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/Swamp-Women-Shorts-768x539.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/Swamp-Women-Shorts-384x270.png 384w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/Swamp-Women-Shorts.png 1351w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>The artistic, though completely unrelated, opening titles<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/Swamp-Women-Opening.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/Swamp-Women-Opening-1024x704.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"440\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-61494\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/Swamp-Women-Opening-1024x704.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/Swamp-Women-Opening-300x206.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/Swamp-Women-Opening-128x88.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/Swamp-Women-Opening-768x528.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/Swamp-Women-Opening-393x270.png 393w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/Swamp-Women-Opening.png 1345w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Must See?
