VHS Movie Reviews of Kitten with a Whip

Movie Review: Ann-Margret Purrs While Showing Her Claws As The "Kitten With A Whip!"
Summary: 4 Stars

Jody (Ann-Margret), a juvenile delinquent, escapes from reform school by stabbing a matron and attempting to burn down the building and then takes refuge in a house owned by an ambitious politician David Patton (John Forsythe). Despite the hellcat's ample charms, the would-be Senator wants nothing to do with her and tries to drive her away. She responds by shortly returning to his house and invites a couple of delinquent pals (Peter Brown as "Ron," Skip Ward as "Buck", and Patricia Barry as "Vera." ) and taking him hostage. A sudden act of violence causes more trouble, leading Jody and her gang to hijack David and force him to drive a getaway car to Mexico.

Great '60's teen flick which is a cross between a b-movie and a "cult camp classic!" Ann-Margret purrs out goofy lines like, "all I want to do is party-party" and calls herself "Jody Doll." John Forsythe's character, David, tries to help Jody when first encountering her as a mixed-up, run-away kid and gives her some money and drives her to the bus stop. Then later, while having a drink with politcal colleage, Grant, (Richard Anderson) he learns the truth from a TV news channel of her crimes! When returning to his house he discovers he's not rid of Jody Doll and experiences an evening of "party-party," "goofy `60's philosophies" (I feel no pain, man!), and goes for a "life or death" ride to Mexico! It'd be great to have this "campy teenage delinquent" movie on dvd, along with Ann-Margret's "The Pleasure Seekers!" Highly recommended to fans of the classic 50's and 60's "teenage delinquent" movies! Be sure to check this one out and remember to watch it with the gang at your next "party-party!!"

Summary of Kitten with a Whip

Ann-Margret never actually touches a whip in this seedy jailbait drama of juvenile delinquents and square-john fall guys, but her slithery moves and schizophrenic mood swings are still enough to give anyone whiplash. The teen temptress makes her entrance skittering through an industrial park in nothing more than a baby-doll nightie as bongos pound away on the soundtrack. Taking refuge in the seemingly deserted house of political hopeful John Forsythe, she begins her torment of the man who would be her savior with her gang of beatnik buddies. "Now cool it and co-exist!" exclaims nominal leader Peter Brown. Fat chance.

Ann-Margret yo-yos from little girl lost to feral femme fatale with sharp claws and a taste for blood. She becomes a hellcat who turns on everyone in her nocturnal flight to Tijuana. She even growls with glee while gunning a jeep over a running buddy tangled in barbed wire! Stiff Forsythe is uncomfortably out of place next to the slinky sex kitten, like a sitcom dad who walked onto the wrong set, and the dated portrait of nihilistic, pseudo-philosophical teens makes the film unintentionally campy. But give it credit for energy: Ann-Margret almost single-handedly powers this offbeat drama with pure sass. If the music sounds familiar in the south-of-the-border scenes, that's because it borrows liberally from Henri Mancini's Latin-flavored Touch of Evil score. --Sean Axmaker
