A Hong Kong flick about a woman who becomes disfigured and is brought back to "normal" by an amusement park owner. All he had to do to restore her beauty was kill a woman and have a priest summon demonic assistance. Nothing could go wrong with that, right?
The Hong Kong version of Porky's or Screwballs. It being from Hong Kong, we not only get the standard high-school sex comedy, but also a horny ghost.
A French nude model falls asleep poolside and dreams about being raped. Starring Tanya French in her only IMDb credit, providing a ton of nudity - truly daring for 1962.
(Original Title: Unterm Dirndl wird gejodelt - a Dirndl being the Bavarian traditional women's dress). Alois Brummer certainly knew how to crank out the German sex comedies, with plenty of skin and paucity of plot. This one may be among his most extreme example of that - where the story is just all over the place, guided more by opportunities for T&A than anything approaching a coherent chain of events.
A Barry Mahon flick starring Gretchen Rudolph as a woman who keeps winding up in bad situations. Possibly the unluckiest person to have ever lived.
A Stephen C. Apostolof film written by Ed Wood, Jr. and starring Angela Carnon, who through course of working on VZ1, I have found to be an incredible B-movie actress. Also featuring a ton of regulars on the early-seventies sexploitation circuit, Terri Johnson, Jane Tsentas, Lynn Harris and Sandy Dempsey. It's your typical story of an unsatisfied housewife who tries to play the swingers game only to find it tears her life apart.
From Barry Mahon (Prostitutes Protective Society, The Beast that Killed Women) comes this story of Busty Brown, a private eye, who goes deep undercover as a stripper/go-go dancer to rescue a kidnapped girl.
Another Sarno flick filled with his usual stock of actors, bringing "class" to the world of exploitation cinema via quality acting and direction. This film is an early example of the "Indecent Proposal" trope.
(Original Title: Hembra o macho) A Zayas sex comedy (fichera) where he plays a homophobic lawyer who falls for someone who he believes is a transvestite.
An early Joseph Sarno film - a guy you have to appreciate for always trying to class up the sexploitation landscape with good acting and compelling human dramas. This film isn't as well known as his Sin in the Suburbs, but still an example of a well acted, well directed film that just dares you to call it "smut".
(Original Title: Beichte einer Liebestollen) A girl from the city spreads her wings in the Bavarian countryside working at an inn.
Two roommates take up residence in an apartment building advertised "for single swingers only". What follows is some of the worst acting and gaudy styles you're ever liable to witness.
An early Radley Metzger film about Parisian hookers. Pretty risque for Main St. USA in 1965, but extremely tame by any other vantage point.
A super-cheapo skin flick. Not really worth it, except that it has sexploitation regulars, Kathy Hilton and Linda Vroom, providing much more graphic content than usual. Also featuring the dirtiest feet in the history of cinema.
From Stephen C. Apostolof who directed a number of Marsha Jordan films including The Divorcee (1966), Lady Godiva Rides (1969), and College Girls (1968). Stephen C. Apostolof, whose first film was Ed Wood Jr.'s Orgy of the Dead (1965), and, in fact, Ed Wood actually wrote the novelization of this movie! I'd love to get a hold of that paperback. Another fun Apostolof joint is Office Love-In (1968)
A religious zealot on a mission to keep marijuana illegal is abducted, tortured and raped. A particularly grimy and mean spirited grindhouse sleaze-fest from Lou Campa.
Six short vignettes by Russ Meyer in "eye-splashing color". In Russ' autobiography, A Clean Breast; he summarizes each of these vignettes (found in volume 3), which I have reproduced at the start of each section.
