Featured review
When I think of myself I want to vomit
(Some Spoilers) Tepid Europen thriller that's a bit too much to take especially it's overbearing and monotonous theme song"Fate Had Planned It So" thats played over and over in the movie "Orgasmo" like a broken record driving Kathryn West,Carroll Baker, as well as the audience to the point of a nervous breakdown.
The plot of "Orgasmo" is anything but original with this boyish grease monkey Peter Donovan, Lou Castle,working his way into widowed American Kathryn West heart home and finally bank account. Peter does this with the help of his sister or is she his step-sister Eva, Cholette Descomber,who shows up later in the movie.
Eva at first develops a strong liking for Kathryn and gets it on with her in a lesbian relationship with her "brother" Peter later joining them in a weird woman with woman and man manaja trios. Later Kathryn catches Peter and Eva nude and together in bed which makes her finally realize that she being taken by them for a fool and a ride. Kicking the two out of her villa they come back later with a batch of photos of her in bed with both of them to blackmail her.
Kathryn foolishly gives in to their blackmail without as much as a whimper! What could those photos do to her reputation anyway since she's a widow and not cheating on her husband or anyone else? Meanwhile with all this going on Kathryn's lawyer Brion Sanders, Tino Carraro,is trying to tie up all the loose ends in her late husbands holding in probate court which, when finally ironed out, will land her an inheritance of some 200 million dollars.
Peter and Eva slowly isolate Kathryn by getting rid of her two in-house domestics helpers Teresa and Martino,Lilla Brignone & Franco Pesce,leaving her totally at their mercy. Getting Kathryn hooked on sleeping pills and what seems like and endless stream of J&B whiskey bottles where she later is set up for the final coup De grace with a J&B flask spiked with a bottle of extra-strong sleeping pills.
It's then at the end of the movie that fate that's been so tragic for poor abused alcoholic and pill addicted Kathryn and so fortunate for Peter and Eva makes a 180 degree and deadly turn in "Orgasmo's" long awaited surprise but very predictable ending.
