Staten Island sophisticate Andrew Milligan surveyed the salacious lifestyle of the swinging set in his gritty Depraved! (1967). To no surprise, he sees them as sexually and emotionally dysfunctional sociopaths. In other words, like everyone else. Robert Burgos (The Degenerates), Anne Linden and Carol Vogel from The Ghastly Ones, and Milligan's Garbo, Hope Stansbury from The Rats Are Coming! The Werewolves Are Here! swap partners, seduce in-laws, drop acid, and assault one another for 75 minutes of Milligan mayhem. Actor/writer Josef Bush (The Naked Witch) has his head shoved into a toilet, and Linden's character leaps out a window to her death (a scenario that would be revisited in Milligan's Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me! from the following year). Unfortunately, unlike the latter film, Depraved! is still considered lost.
