Dianne Thorne returns as the (not so) desirable Ilsa, this time making the wealthy Arabian world to her playground. Ilsa is in control of Sheik El Sharif's harem and she arranges the kidnappings of new sex-slaves. The most remarkable difference with the previous `She Wolf of the SS' is the more lightheaded character of this film and the constant presence of humor. Of course, the subject matter is a little less sensitive (Nazi's aren't that funny, you know) and the makers indented to reach a larger audience this time. This resulted in less cruelty, less nudity and a lot less perversion. Yet, this film is still warmly recommended to cult fans and admirers of occult cinema! There are a few slick and ingenious aspects to discover, like the introduction of Ilsa's assistants! Satin and Velvet look like identical twins performing lesbian action, while their uniforms simply exist out of pink thongs! No shocking and nauseating images this time, but a goofy black comedy with a couple of bloody highlights.up to you whether it's an improvement or not.
