Lina Romay

In this surreal and sensuous mystery/noir, Lina Romay (The Female Vampire, Lorna the Exorcist) plays Irina, a partner in a male-female mind reading act. At night she experiences vivid and charged dreams which end in murder. It seems that the people whose minds she reads are being killed off one by one. In the 1980s, after the death of the Spanish dictator, Jess Franco returned to his native country and made a series of films in which he was given almost total freedom. Night Has A Thousand Desires is one of the most artistically successful of these films. It’s filled with familiar Franco touches – artful cinematography, atmospheric locations, naked women, an avant garde soundtrack – and it features one of Lina Romay’s most committed performances.Read More »

One hotel complex; two balconies opposite each other; a lecherous voyeur searching for his next excitement, and a shamelessly flamboyant exhibitionist. Who is in control of this strange sexual power game?Read More »

Pierre-Alexandre Buisson from IMDb writes:
It all begins with Lina Romay dancing in chromed pants on a stage in some cheap bar. She hooks two playboys and ends up with an invitation to their midnight orgy. Her communist rock star bearded lover shows up in her dressing room and starts shouting slogans. Her husband pays her a visit. And then she talks directly to the camera, explaining to the viewer she has to get dressed for the party.

Definitly one of Franco’s numbest and most chaotic features where he plays a sadistic wooden-legged private eye with his trademark black sunglasses. You can see all you want from Romay, who spends most of the movie running around naked. The plot doesn’t seem to be very important and the jokes fly low. If you like Franco you’ll laugh to death watching this one but if you’re a newcomer, you may wonder where the hell can we get some drugs as effective as the ones they used to write this.Read More »

Synopsis
(by Tim Lucas)
Made in 1975, “De Sade’s Juliette” was one of Franco’s earliest XXX productions, predated only by “Sexorcismes”, the hardcore variant he produced of the 1974 film “Exorcism.” It was never released anywhere in its original form. Its only release anywhere in the world was as “Justine”, the Italian variant shared here, which was cobbled together by Joe D’Amato in 1979-80, who shuffled in some footage from another 1975 Franco film, “Midnight Party.” For some other unfathomable reason, Alice Arno is top-billed and she’s not even in it!Read More »

SYNOPSIS:
The life of a private eye in Spain is very different from the one surrounded by blondes and booze that we see in movies. Especially if the detective in the case is our hero Alfredo Pereira, who divides his time between his more or less scandalous cases in the most luxurious and international corner of the Costa del Sol, and his unsual private life. His private life is called Flavia, and it must be admitted she is a blonde, with huge blue eyes. The thing is, she is seven years old and the daughter of our detective, who was given custody of her when he divorced his wife. A new case puts Pereira in contact with a beautiful woman, Eva Radeck, the wife of a foreign financier. Their story is going to perhaps take up too much of Alfredo Pereira’s time as the investigation takes on increasingly sombre tints of hatred, vengeance and death. Pereira, who is only tough on the outside, gets caught in the web spun by the seductive Eva and becomes an innocent party in the case, while continuing to be Flavia’s soft-hearted daddy. Events come to a head with the vicious murder of Eva.Read More »

If any Jess Franco films truly lives up to its title that would be “El sexo está loco”…

Synopsis:
Life starts to imitate art when aliens in search of fertile women to help repopulate their planet impregnate an actress. The plot as it progresses then focuses around two couples and their sexual adventures. Then we’re back to the weird alien vibe it all started with only to briefly abandon it again until the films ends. So were there really aliens or where they just a fantasy of Lina Romay’s character’s imagination?Read More »

SYNOPSIS:
A sexual crazy couple kidnap a young girl (Susan Hemmingway) and begin to sexually torture and rape her but have no fear because two strippers (Lina Romay, Nadine Pascal) are on the case. This is a rather crazy and silly Franco caper that spoofs various genres but mainly the detective films of the 1940s. There’s a lot of humor, a lot of sex and of course a whole bunch of naked women running around.Read More »
