"Amok" (1963) starts out as a WIP film, but soon the women escape from prison and eventually end up on a supposedly deserted island, which is not so deserted after all: a German war criminal, his peace-minded son and a collection of Greek hoodlums are also there, looking for a treasure buried in the late WWII years. The men decide to use the women as extra work-force, and more....but the women have some ideas of their own as well. It is a dirty, sweaty, sun-baked, physical exploitation film, quite bold for its time (including some brief nudity), with nary a wasted moment, although the ending is kind of anticlimactic. Capable cast and direction. **1/2 out of 4.
