**_Sondra Currie as a cheroot-smoking Woman With No Name_** In the Old West, a Morman couple traveling south from Salt Lake City are waylaid by a small gang of dirtbags. The wife (Currie) later teams-up with an outlaw female, a wild prostitute and a squaw to set things a’right. “Jessi’s Girls” (1975) was influenced by Raquel Welch’s "Hannie Caulder," "Macho Callahan," "The Animals" (aka “Five Savage Men”) and “Cry Blood, Apache” from 4-5 years prior; and would influence the forthcoming “I Spit on Your Grave” and "Bad Girls,” the latter debuting almost two decades later. It’s basically an exploitation thriller with a Western milieu. With the Hays Code ending in 1968, filmmakers were exalting in their new sense of freedom, especially Indie filmmakers. As such, this includes a tasteful nude scene involving Sondra bathing near a waterfall right out of the gate, as well as a disturbing gang rape sequence, which took an entire day to shoot and is very convincing. Regina Carrol (Claire) and Ellyn Stern (Kana) also have brief nude or semi-nude sequences. Regina, by the way, happened to be the wife of the director. As a Western, there’s a lot of good in this, such as Rod Cameron as the grizzled loner who assists Jessi. He was 64 during shooting and it’s too bad his part wasn’t bigger and their relationship developed. Meanwhile, the score and locations are pretty much top-of-the-line, not to mention some excellent touches like how Kana hates Apaches. Despite all the good, the script needed a rewrite as it includes some weak, nonsensical parts, like a certain formerly devout person murdering a coach driver and seriously injuring a sheriff on a whim with no ostensible motivation. If someone argues that it was to save three captive women, they are total strangers and the protagonist has no idea if they’re innocent or guilty. If it’s because she hates men, her spouse was a good, loving man, and so was the compassionate geezer who saved her in the desert. Plus, why would she shoot a lawman when it was outlaws who did her wrong, the opposite of lawmen? Bad writing like this takes the viewer right out of the movie. The film runs 1 hour, 24 minutes, and was shot at Capitol Reef National Park in southern Utah and Dee Cooper Ranch. GRADE: C
