New fish Collier is thrown into prison for killing her husband. She is cast in a six-woman cell that includes Grear (Pam Grier), Harrad, Alcott, Ferina, and Bodine. Harrad is Grear's girlfriend as well as a heroin addict, while Bodine is a political prisoner and lover of "Rafael", a guerrilla fighter on the outside.The prison is run by Warden Dietrich, who projects an aura of reasonableness, but the head guard, a woman named Lucian, is a vicious sadist. Eventually, the women decide to escape.Film debut of Pam Grier (not counting her appearance as an extra in Beyond the Valley of the Dolls). Followed by a Spiritual Sequel or quasi-remake, The Big Bird Cage, which also starred Pam Grier.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })See also The Bamboo House of Dolls, a remake from Shaw Brothers released two years later. | |

Butch Lesbian: Lucien wears her hair in a severely pulled-back style, coding her as a mean and vicious Butch Lesbian. | |

The Big Doll House / int_4d45aa06 | comment |
Banana Republic: A sign over the prison gate apparently names the country as "Rizal". There's no further mention of even the name of the country or where it's supposed to be, but the background characters are all Filipinos. Bodine, who's the lover of a revolutionary, actually calls the country a "banana republic". | |

The Big Doll House / int_80ed8406 | comment |
Captain Smooth and Sergeant Rough: Warden Dietrich is the Captain Smooth, saying that cruelty will not be tolerated at her prison and listening politely to complaints from prisoners or from Dr. Phillips, the sympathetic prison doctor. Lucien the guard, however, is a brutal sociopath who delights in torturing any prisoner that falls into her clutches. | |

Big Bad: Miss Dietrich, the seemingly-kindly warden, turns out to be facilitating the corruption and torture going on. | |
