The Wild Women of Wongo (1958)


THE WILD WOMEN OF WONGO  (1958)  
¢ 1/2
    D: James L. Wolcott
    Jean Hawkshaw, Mary Ann Webb, Candé Gerrard,
    Adrienne Bourbeau, Marie Goodhart, Michelle Lamaack 
On the prehistoric island of Wongo, the women are babes but the men are ugly brutes. On the nearby island of Goona, the men are hunks while the women conspicuously lack the cosmetically enhanced attributes of their Wongo counterparts. Dr. Sporgersi and I watched this because we wanted to find out just how bad a movie called "The Wild Women of Wongo" could be. We found out. The part where the Wongo priestess dances with a dead crocodile on her head is a highlight. The actress listed in the credits as Adrienne Bourbeau is not the Adrienne Barbeau who starred in "Escape From New York" and "The Fog".
