“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."

Love Camp 7 (1968)
How bad is it? It only showed in Times Square grindhouses.
Should you see it? No.
This was the first film to combine the exploitation genres of Nazis and women in prison and showed almost continuously for years in theaters most people wouldn't admit attending in the 1960's. Purportedly based on a true story, two women go undercover to find information about, and possibly rescue, a woman who was being used as a sex slave in one of the German "pleasure camps." They, of course, get captured, raped, beaten and tortured, but they do find the woman, who's in solitary confinement - so they have to do something to get themselves there as well. Much has been made of the fact that writer/star Cresse was Jewish (as were others involved in this film), but this is just simple exploitation, not done well, except for the amazing amount of flesh shown without showing anything banned at the time.
