    Threes (1968)

    Another sin-sational sixties softcore skin flick from beatnik erotic auteur Nick Phillips (aka Jan Anders here), overflowing with his trademark artsy monochrome imagery, lesbianism, fetishism, free sex aesthetics, free jazz soundscapes, and rambling stream of consciousness narration. This was Millard’s rip-off of those very popular (and profitable) European adult art films of the late 1960’s [I Am Curious- Yellow, Therese & Isabelle, I a Woman] and his use of the Danish-sounding pseudonym, Jan Anders.
    Nick Millard is the genius behind Criminally Insane, Death Nurse, and dozens of other wonderful exploitation films. Mister Millard has been in the biz since the 1960s, starting out making sexploitation films like Uta, Nympho & this one styled after European art features of the time. In 1975 he went into horror with Criminally Insane, and in 1977 he made action movie history with .357 Magnum.Read More »

    Long considered lost, this was Harrington s first color film. It was shot in Venice, Italy, and not unlike Fragment of Seeking, follows a masked figure through the labyrinthine canals of the city, building to a spectacular climax.Read More »
