I just finished the 'notorious' x-rated french version. It reminds me of Caligula where the x-rated stuff was added and is sooooo out of place. It looks like it was spliced in as an afterthought.

That said, I enjoyed Herbert Lom, though I'm pretty sure it was a 'stunt double' during the penetration shots. I bet he never knew he was in such a movie!

I can't help liking Jesse Franco. He tries so hard and I'm sure he could have done more mainstream work given the chance. I have seen much worse movies from so-called mainstream directors!

I was disappointed in the DVD. The x-rated version has no extras. It dropped the interview with Jesse and some other stuff found on the censored DVD (R-rated). Very sad. I thought they would make this a special edition.

If you like 60's & 70's euro-sleaze, you really can't go wrong with this one.

Not really a date movie, but if your date 'digs' it, the best part of the evening is just ahead.....
