Should you see it? Oh yeah. Just don't expect much.
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds."

Fugitive Girls (1974)
aka Five Loose Women
How bad is it? It's a women's prison film written by Ed Wood.

Stephen Apostoloff worked on the fringes of Hollywood and directed a few exploitation films under the name A.C. Stephen. He had a professional relationship with Edward D. Wood, Jr. (of "Plan 9" fame), who wrote scripts for him for not very much money. This story seems a loose remake of Woods' "The Violent Years," going from PG to R by moving from teenagers looking for kicks to adult cons escaped from prison. Wood himself makes his last film appearance here, as the guy who gasses up their car at the air field before being knocked unconscious; be forewarned, though, that Ed not only aged 20 years since "Glen or Glenda?" but gained weight and appears to have been ill.
