The Big Bust Out is the US title of an Italian women in prison film, The Crucified Girls of San Ramon (Lo Monaca... per tre Carogne e Sette Peccatrici). The US rights were bought by Roger Corman for New World Pictures, who cut out 20 minutes for the US release.[1]

Roger Corman later said the film was not very good but he managed to make money from it.[2]

Synopsis
