| Mimsy Farmer in DEVIL'S ANGELS Year: 1967 Rating: **1/2 |
In the same year, the peak of the hippie counter-culture, 1967, American blonde starlet Mimsy Farmer plays a vulnerable young lady who's attacked and sexually assaulted by a group of drugged-up men in both RIOT ON SUNSET STRIP and DEVIL'S ANGELS...

| Leo Gordon and John Cassavetes in DEVIL'S ANGELS |
And with voluptuous vixen Beverly Adams literally at his back, he has to deal with his own group of cut-throat rowdies while attempting to deal with tough but logical sheriff Leo Gordon...
In an extremely brutal vehicle with two acts instead of three: many riding in but only one riding out and, with some groovy rock tunes backing the perpetual bedlam, DEVIL'S ANGELS is a decent enough time-filler that grates on the nerves... perhaps intentionally.
