Claudio Carvalho After stabbing the matron, the seventeen year-old delinquent Jody Dvorak (Ann-Margret) escapes from a juvenile detention facility. She breaks in an empty house and sleeps in a bed. Late night, the prominent politician and future senator David Stratton (John Forsythe) comes home after a business meeting with his friend Grant (Richard Anderson) and wife. In the morning, he sees Jody and she tells a dramatic story of her life to him. David decides to help the young woman and goes to the town to buy clothes for her. Then he drives her to the bus station and gives some money to her. He meets Grant in a restaurant and when David is going to tell what happened to him, he sees Jody in the television and gives up. When David returns home, he finds Jody there. He picks up the phone to call the police and Jody threatens to accuse him of rape. Then three delinquents – the smart Ron (Peter Brown); the violent Buck (Skip Ward); and Midge (Diane Sayer) - come to David's house and afraid of a scandal, he becomes hostage of the situation. When Buck and Ron have an argument, Buck accidentally hurts Ron with a razor blade and Midge flees in their car. Now the delinquents want David to drive them to Tijuana to escape from the police. What will David do?"Kitten with a Whip" is an anguishing film about a good and honest man that gets involved in a difficult situation that might destroy his career and personal life. Ann-Margret is a bipolar woman that controls the situation threatening the man with lies. The film is tense but David is too naive and has many chances to resolve the problem calling the police, especially after the arrival of Jody's friends. "Knock Knock" (2015) uses a similar storyline with a family man also "behind the eight ball". My vote is seven. Title (Brazil): Not Available on Blu-Ray or DVD.

Kenneth Anderson "You poke that finger at that dial mister, and that's when I start screaming rape!" I usually find bad acting and poor performances boring to watch and frustrating to subject myself to, but Ann-Margret's performance in "Kitten With A Whip" is so kinetically awful that she virtually invents a whole new kind of awfulness.As Jody Dvorak, the wildly unbalanced kitten of the title, Ann-Margret affects the line readings, attitudes and camp posturings that most drag queens can only dream about. It's a strangely compelling performance because it's like one given by a person who's never seen acting before. If you've ever seen Katherine O'Hara's Lola Heatherton character on "SCTV," you get a pretty good idea of Ann-Margret's brand of naturalism.The film is so overheated that it defies being taken seriously, so much of it comes off like a comedy of errors that befall the woodenly sincere John Forsythe as he attempts to extricate himself from the spiraling mess his life has become since crossing paths with Jody.The film is so undistinguished that everybody involved should be indebted to Ann-Margret. She is terrible, to be sure, but she is the only life the film has and is endlessly watchable. She gives even the most innocuous lines megatons of energy…so much that she's almost too much for the screen. That her career actually survived this delectable mess and she went on to become a rather nuanced actress in later years should give hope to lousy young actresses everywhere."Kitten With A Whip" is not only a treat for the eyes (Ann-Margret looks as good as her acting is bad) but for the ears as well. There is so much 60's bop talk that you might need subtitles. My favorite line (among many) : "You musclehead! How come you think you're such a smoky something when you're so nothing painted blue?" Has to be seen to be believed. Now cool it you creep, and coexist!

Rogziel A teenage girl flees through the night, obviously trying to escape someone. She breaks into an apparently deserted home looking for shelter, only for the owner--a politician whose family just so happens to be away for the weekend--to return in the morning. The man, David, takes pity on the girl (who calls herself Jody) after she tells him she was on the run from a rapist, and he gives her a new dress, money, and a ride to the bus station. The good Samaritan later discovers the truth about Jody--she's on the run from the police for setting fire to her detention center. He comes home only to find that Jody has returned, and is nastier and crazier than he could have imagined. Threatening to cry rape if David doesn't hide her and heed her demands, Jody invites her juvenile delinquent friends, the drunk Ron and the homicidal Buck, to David's pad for a party. Then things quickly spin out of control...KITTEN WITH A WHIP is an enjoyable piece of 60s cheese that is more fun and interesting than it has any right to be. Despite its strong beginning, however, the final act of the film feels rushed and contrived; for example, while in a sketchy part of Tijuana, David has to narrowly escape not only Buck and Ron, but also his socialite friends, who just happen to be on that Tijuana street that very night. Not likely. The film also suffers from what Roger Ebert would call "idiot moments", as later plot developments depend on David trusting Jody and letting her get close to him when any other sane person would abandon the little psycho at the clearest available chance.On the plus side, the titular "kitten" Ann Margaret gives a solid performance as the disturbed Jody, acting like an innocent damsel in distress in one scene and literally unleashing her claws on anyone who provokes her in the next. Sometimes she very nearly crosses the line into overacting, but still manages to be convincing in her role. The stoic John Forscythe is an excellent foil for the unpredictable anti-heroine, though his character's lapses in good judgment will make the audience groan.KITTEN WITH A WHIP was featured on MST3K, the show renowned for making fun of b-movies. As amusing as that episode was, KITTEN WITH A WHIP stands out as one of the most competent and watchable movies aired on the program, enjoyable in its own right.

sol1218 ****SPOILERS**** Weird and unbelievable movie, well after the Bill Clinton/Monica Walinsky affair I'm willing to believe anything, about an up and coming California politician David Stratton, John Forsythe. Stratton got the state senate seat in his sights but ends up getting blackmailed kidnapped beaten and almost killed by a young women, and her oddball friends. Stratton found the bunch sleeping in his daughters bedroom one morning when he came back from a political dinner, both his wife and daughter were on vacation.The young women Jody, Ann-Margret, gives David a sob story about her being a runaway from a broken home and the jerk falls for it. I really think that Stratton fell for Jody's gorgeous VA VA VOOM body more then anything else. The guy may be a bit foolish and naive but he's not blind. David goes as far as going out to the store to get Jody a new set of clothes but as David is away Jody calls her friends to come over to David's place and party. It turns out that Jody isn't the sweet and innocent fawn that she claimed to be but a hardened juvenile delinquent who just escaped from a home for uncontrollable young girls. That after she tried to burn the place down and stabbed an attendant who tried to stop her, wild and crazy girl that Jody is. Crashing David's house that night Jody's friends Ron Buck & Midge, Peter Brown Skip Ward & Diane Sayer hold David hostage as they drink and drug themselves into such a wild frenzy that Midge later leaves them in terror. Ron in what had to be a drug induced hallucination tells Buck to slash him with a razor. It's his way of showing that his will-power can stop the pain and bleeding from the wound! Instead he ends up being in danger of bleeding to death. Getting David to drive the three across the border to a doctor that they know in Mexico to treat Ron they go on a drug and drinking binge in Tijuana. It gets so out of hand that even Jody can't take it anymore and gives David back his car keys to take her back across the border to California. Judy then plans to give herself up to the police and face the music. David driving with Jody to California is then attacked on the highway by Buck & Ron who drive David them off the road but the two are so stoned and drunk that they lose control of their car and go crashing off a cliff into flames and to their deaths. With Jody thrown clear from David's car and smashing her skull killing herself, only David survived the double car crash. The police covered up David's involvement with the three dead felons and thus saved his reputation his marriage and political career. David laying in his hospital bed with his head and ribs and bones broken can now recover and get back to the normal world that he lived in. Thats before Jody walked, or slept, into his life with nobody but himself and the police knowing for better or worse what happened. Don't you just love those Hollywood happy endings.
