Gator Bait

Would you believe I've never seen Gator Bait until just recently? I caught it on Joe Bob's Last Drive-In show on Shudder.

Claudia Jennings stars as Desiree, a Cajun version of a jungle girl. She briefly wears these weird looking Roman-type sandals at the very beginning, but for the rest of the film's running time, she's wonderfully barefoot and scantily clad.

She even climbs trees like a jungle girl (although she doesn't swing from them). Desiree goes on the warpath when her younger sister is killed and her home is burnt down by thugs who wrongfully blame her for another person's death.

For a B-movie from the 1970s, Gator Bait is actually very well done. The only thing I would have liked to have seen was Desiree getting tied up, which never happens.

If there had been a BF bondage scene with Miss Jennings, then Gator Bait would have been insanely great.

But Gator Bait still has a heroine going barefoot throughout the whole film, which makes it a must-have in my book. Thanks, Joe Bob! If I may borrow a phrase of his: The drive-in will never die!
