Swamp Women (1956) was one of the first films directed by Roger Corman. It stars Carole Matthews, Beverly Garland and Marie Windsor.
This adventure/crime follows undercover police officer Lee Hampton, who joins three female convicts and escapes from prison. The escape is part of a larger plot to uncover a cache of diamonds hidden deep within the swamps of Louisiana. This film is sometimes also known as Cruel Swamp or Swamp Diamonds. The film is now in the public domain. Swamp Women was listed in the 1978 book The Fifty Worst Films of All Time.
In July 1993, the film was featured in the movie-mocking television show Mystery Science Theater 3000 under the title Swamp Diamonds.
The film was shot on location in Louisiana. Shot in 22 days.
