How bad is it? It's cheap and sleazy and poorly constructed and acted.
Should you see it? Yes. I enjoyed it the first time I saw it, but not the second.
“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."

The Doll Squad (1973)
aka Hustler Squad

Director Ted V. Mikels felt that the television show "Charlie's Angels" stole his idea, as both have three beautiful women fighting crime, usually undercover, and the smart one in each is named Sabrina. He might be right, but the similarity ends there. This is one of the most active of Mikel's films, having many fight scenes and the girls are fun to watch playing "tough." Francine York and Tura Satana look great and York's acting is fair (compared to some), but the plot is trivial and the film is often dark and grainy (the photo used above is unusually bright).
