We then get what I guess was supposed to be a shock (and maybe it was in 1971), when we find that Pa is a black man. We get an oddity (actually just badly written dialogue) during the conversation, when Swamp Girl has no trouble with the word "refuge", but doesn't understand the word "deputy".įerlin has asked Swamp Girl to talk to her Pa about leaving the swamp and coming back into civilization, which she agrees to do. Ferlin gets Swamp Girl to to talk to him and interestingly the conversation is about the traps being illegal and how the Okefenokee Swamp Park is a refuge.a sort of early 70s message of conservation.
While on shore chasing her, Ferlin steps into an animal trap and Swamp Girl has to rescue him.
Ferlin sets out in his airboat to see if he can track her down and, of course, he does. We find out that Ferlin is the Swamp Ranger and that Claude is the local Sheriff when we find them the next day discussing if there really could be a Swamp Girl. This sets up the next scene with Ferlin sitting on the porch of his cabin singing the title song " Swamp Girl". Back to the 's a mystery to everyone how the man got out of the swamp and there's some discussion about how it could have been the legend known as Swamp Girl. They're so bad, that anytime they appear in a scene, they make the other actors look better than they probably are. A side note about these three locals - they're the worst actors in the movie, one of them must realize this fact because he barely speaks. When she tosses him onto land, three of the locals who are out for some illegal night fishing hear something and when they go to investigate they discover the man, who unfortunately has already died. The movie begins as Swamp Girl (Simone Griffeth) brings a man into civilization who has been bitten by snakes. While neither Ferlin or Claude need ever worry about winning an Oscar, both are as good or better than some of the other actors in Swamp Girl. I also got a bonus, since when I got the movie, I found that Claude King (Wolverton Mountain) co-stars with Ferlin in the movie.
After seeing Ferlin Husky in Hillbillys In A Haunted House, I decided to check out another one of his movies - Swamp Girl.
