1971-1980

971 Swedish erotica from Sarno starring the lovely Marie Liljedahl. Sequel to Inga (1968).

This is the Grindhouse cut.

After her boyfriend leaves her alone and penniless, Inga can only long for the love of another man devoted to satisfying her body and soul. Rolf, a young pop singer and musician, tries his best to seduce her, but she ultimately falls for Stig – a dashing older man and writer. Stig owns a beautiful villa, and Inga gladly becomes his personal secretary – and lover. When business takes Stig away, Inga’s loneliness and unfulfilled sensual desires lead her straight into the arms and bed of Rolf. Inga’s life is further complicated by the arrival of the young and beautiful Greta Tillstrom (Inger Sundh) who admits to an on-going affair with Stig and professes a blossoming attraction for Inga herself. As passions surge and forbidden lust is embraced, Inga will be forced to confront a shocking secret and reconcile an aching heart with a tireless young body that can’t say no.Read More »

Review by Dario Soldatini, 2006, from imdb:
The dark side of an untold page of history
Brief synopsis North Italy, spring 1945, during the nazi-fascist occupation. A gang of fugitive republican fascists (John Steiner, Macha Meril and Lino Capolicchio) kidnaps a metrobus full of civilians and tries to escape to the Swiss’s border, in order to recover from the advancing allies and partisans. During the journey, we are able to see (throughout some flash-backs) the fascists’s activities prior to their runout (Macha Meril, in the role of Egle, a female volunteer for Italian Social Republic, in the attempt to humiliate a nude prisoner before sentencing him to death) alongside the captured civilians (remebrances of their “normal” lives under allies’ bombs and everyday’s troubles of wartime).Read More »

Dries Vermeulen:
Blonde,busty Jennifer Welles is one of the all time great porn superstars and not just because of her obvious physical qualities. In addition to those,she possessed striking screen presence and – as Armand Weston’s EXPOSE ME, LOVELY clearly attests – honest to goodness acting ability. This lavishly produced semi-documentary, but one (though perhaps the best) in a long-running series, is a present to her fans who should be legion. The wonderful Ms. Welles appears in every single sex scene and what sex scenes they are. Whew! Of special note is her smoldering Sapphic slurp with lanky cross-dresser Marlene Willoughby, which was allegedly Jennifer’s first foray into same sex territory. Horse-hung Peter Andrews turns up for the boy next door/banana pie scene, double-teaming our hot heroine with swarthy stud muffin Pepe. The number of partners seems to multiply with each successive sexual encounter. Rumour has it that the four Oriental guys she finishes her climactic orgy scene with were not professional porno people but just happened to be catering on the set!Read More »

The Family, Paul Watson, 1974

12 x 30’ – First “fly on the wall” documentary serial.
Press Critics Prize – National Archive.

A ‘fly on the wall’ look at the working-class Wilkins family from Reading.

Modelled on the 13-part observational series, An American Family (US, d. Craig Gilbert, 1972), producer Paul Watson’s 12-part The Family (BBC, 1974) is credited with creating the concept of the ‘fly-on-the-wall’ documentary in Britain. Regardless, Watson’s cinema verité-style, warts-and-all portrait of the working-class Wilkins family certainly popularised an ‘observational’ style still seen as the defining characteristic of British documentary some twenty-five years later.Read More »
