SS Girls Alright, so you saw a variation of this plot under another title, Salon Kitty, but this is by Bruno Mattei so don't expect any improvement. However, if you're a fan of Mattei you'll definitely want to have this avowed guilty pleasure in your collection. It's so twisted and remarkable and wonderfully over the top that it should be impossible for any human being to be particularly offended, despite its nazi setting. Especially fun are the scenes early in the film in which barely dressed girls ("light uniforms") are running around a field with guns, swords, balls etc, learning how to fight and kill and be good. You can almost see director Mattei sitting at the side laughing himself sick. But is it a comedy? Nein, not really. It's a bit hard to actually tell what it is, but mostly it's just silly drivel. A cheap and quickly produced exploitation package of tits and swastikas. Of the actors, the curly-haired Macha Magall was also the saving grace in The Beast in Heat which also included Salvatore Boccaro who cameos here as, I don't know, a hairy nude guy. There is an edited version of SS Girls which has almost 15 minutes of tedious talk and stock-footage (thankfully) removed, but any version is preferable over Mattei's other nazi-flick Women's Camp 119 which is mostly plain tasteless, though much better made.
