From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Prehistoric Women was a 1967 film also known as Slave Girls starring Martine Beswick, Michael Latimer and Steven Berkoff.
[edit] Synopsis
David Marchant (Latimer) is pursuing a leopard on an African safari when he is captured by a primitive tribe. They accuse him of disturbing the spirit of the white rhinoceros, and take him to their leader's temple. He is about to be killed for his trespassing when a flash of lightning opens a giant crack in the cave wall.
Latimer escapes into a lush paradise, and encounters a fair-haired beauty called Saria, played by Edina Ronay. She is a member of a tribe of blonde women who are enslaved by their cruel mistresses, dark-haired warriors led by the beautiful Queen Kari (Beswick). The Queen chooses Latimer as her mate, but he is appalled by her cruelty and spurns her advances.
[edit] Background
One of the most bizarre films ever released by Hammer, the film was produced using sets and costumes left over from the film One Million Years B.C. which had starred Raquel Welch and featured Martine Beswick.
The film was a remake of the 1950 American film Prehistoric Women and was most widely seen in a heavily truncated 77 minute version, sometimes under the title 'Slave Girls' .
