Transcription

Plot

A spoiled rich girl named Sabra Tanner (who feels ignored by her rich mother) teases and harasses her college schoolmates even though she doesn't know why she wants to hurt all the people around her. Her sociopathic antics bring bad consequences for her when her actions drive one of her classmates to suicide. Realizing she is completely ostracized, Sabra walks into the ocean to drown herself.

Drive-in advertisement from 1957 for Sorority Girl and co-feature, Motorcycle Gang.

Corman says that the script was developed by AIP. He did not like it and had some of it rewritten, although not as much as he liked.[3]

Shooting started on 15 July 1957 at Ziv Studios.[4] Filming also took place at the mansion of Ruta Lee in Laurel Canyon.[5]

Susan Cabot later recalled working on Corman films:

We would have some sort of a script, but there was a lot of, “Who’s going to say what?” and “How ’bout I do this?’ ’ — plenty of ad-libbing and improvising. But Roger was really great in a way; he was very loose. If something didn’t work out, he changed it right away. He gave me a great amount of freedom , and also a chance to play parts that Universal would never have given me — oddball, wacko parts, like the very disturbed girl in Sorority Girl. I had a chance to do moments and scenes that I didn’t get before.[6]

Corman says while filming he made Cabot do an emotional scene in medium shot first, then when it was time to do a close up, Cabot's performance was not as strong. Corman says this prompted him to learn more about acting, so he enrolled in acting classes given by Jeff Corey, where he would meet people like Jack Nicholson and Robert Towne.[7]

Release

The film was issued on a double bill with Motorcycle Gang.[8][9]

The Christian Science Monitor said it had a "sad hodgepodge of a story".[10]
