The Big Doll House is a 1971 American women-in-prison film starring Pam Grier, Judy Brown, Roberta Collins, Brooke Mills, and Pat Woodell.

The film follows six female inmates through daily life in a gritty, unidentified tropical prison.

Later the same year, the film Women in Cages featured a similar story and setting and much the same cast, and was shot in the same abandoned prison buildings.

She is introduced to the beautiful occupants of her cell, doing time for crimes ranging from political insurgency to heroin addiction.

Ferina, Alcott, and Bodine break from the solitary-confinement sauna and take their revenge on Lucian.

[6] Hill says White's original script was not used but elements were re-used in other New World Pictures, notably Caged Heat.

Ashley and his partners went on to put up the above-the-line part of the budget, with Corman providing the rest.

"[12] Roberta Collins was reluctant to make the film because of its nudity but eventually agreed because she "wanted to work.

[16]Roberta Collins recalled, "It was fun playing tough, taking over, being the ballsy woman.

So I was not that pleased with the film, I felt it was a little too rough, but it was a tremendous box office success and it helped establish my company.
