50 Shades of Franco...
Now that most of these films are out of print, this is one helluva bargain for your buck. And now that Jess Franco is no longer with us (RIP), this is a fine way to pay tribute to the great-grandaddy of exploitation horror and Eurosleaze, and I mean that in the best way imaginable. High praise and props to the High Priest of softcore sexploitation. AND you get Soledad Miranda, Marie Liljedahl, Maria Rohm, Alice Arno, Romina Powers and several other comely Eurobabes both draped and undraped in late 60's - early 70's fashions to gawk at during these transgressive treats that also pay homage to the Grand Marquis de Sade. In addition, we are treated to actors like Chris Lee, Klaus Kinski, Jack Palance and Akim Tamiroff portraying malicious malefactors. What's not to love?
Jess directed three out of these four films and, IMO, are the ones worthy of discussion in this set.
My fave is 'Eugenie de Sade' featuring Franco's first fixation before Lina Romay (RIP), Soledad Miranda...
