5 Branded Women

"All The Savage Ravishing Passions of War!"

Mar 15 1960 Approved 1h 55m
Drama, War

Five Yugoslav women who consorted with the German occupiers are publicly humiliated and banished by the Yugoslav partisans but they take up arms to fend for themselves.

Plot

Yugoslav nationals crop the hair of a village quintet of women believed to have consorted with occupying Nazi soldiers. Four, for various reasons, admit to being guilty. Their seducer is a swaggering sergeant who is emasculated by the partisans when they catch him alone with one of the women in a nearby forest. Escorted out of town by the Nazis, the forlorn ladies soon link up, militarily and romantically, with a band of tough mountain guerrillas.
