Five Branded Women is a 1960 American-Italian war film directed by Martin Ritt, starring Silviana Mangano, Vera Miles, Barbara Bel Geddes, Jeanne Moreau, and Carla Gravina as the titular quintet. These days it's mostly remembered for being the reason why Vera Miles had to wear a wig while appearing in Psycho.The film follows five women from a Yugoslavian village during World War II — Jovanka (Mangano), Ljuba (Moreau), Daniza (Miles), Marja (Bel Geddes), and Mira (Gravina) — all of whom slept with the same German soldier. As punishment, the villagers shave the women's heads and exile them from the village. The five band together and eventually join the partisans.

Pay Evil unto Evil: The partisans plan to ambush the Nazis as they are holding a festival in Jovanka's hometown. She does not object to the townspeople being killed either because they are the same people who ousted her from the village.

Chekhov's Gun: An immediate example. Jovanka takes a pistol off a dead soldier and a few minutes later uses it to kill a pair of soldiers who try to rape her and Ljuba.

Shoot the Shaggy Dog: Jovanka and Daniza accomplish nothing, Daniza being killed by the partisans and Jovanka implied to eventually die when the soldiers reach the trench.

Shut Up, Hannibal!: When the partisans come to Jovanka's house she is shameless for sleeping with the German and puts them in their place. Too bad that only made them madder.

Karma Houdini Warranty: Branco is a lech who looks like he's going to rape Jovanka early on, but this is forgotten when the women join the partisans. But after he and Daniza are caught having sex while on watch, his runs out and he gets killed as punishment.

The Unfair Sex: Something of an inversion as when a man and a woman get caught having sex in the bushes when they're supposed to be on watch, the woman is punished too despite the man being the one who initiated everything.

Stay in the Kitchen: The male partisans try to invoke this but the women are having none of it. Of course Mira and Marja end up staying behind because Mira's in labour and they also have to guard their prisoner.

Debate and Switch: Mira and Marja worry about what Mira's baby will be like when it's half-German. Their prisoner says "what if it's a good German" and the women icily reply "how can you tell which is which when they invade your country?" and that's all that's said.
