Existential whodunnit with James Darren a jazz musician who fails to help a woman set upon by jet set swingers in Istanbul (!) and who later finds her corpse on a beach .Even later on he meets her double in Rio De Janeiro ... as the double exacts her revenge on the swingers that did her in.... Confused? - you will be - but this is Jess Franco's masterpiece so obviously logic has no place in it - this is about hot babes being whipped and swanning around semiclad. Maria Rohm is a lovely Venus, and Dennis Price, Margaret Lee and dear old Klaus Kinski are the swingers (the latter in a turban !). Barbara McNair is Darren's understandably unhappy girlfriend. Great extras include audio interview with Maria Rohm and interview with Franco ("Jesus in Furs")wherein he explains how the films title was foisted upon him. 5/10
