First I've got some modest nudity by Gina Gallego, not a big name but some might remember her from the soap Santa Barbara where she played the role of kooky Santana. The film is "Keeper of the City", starring Louis Gossett Jr., and in it Gina has a small part as a waitress who earns something on the side by offering her favors to male customers she likes. As you can see Lou, who plays a cop, accepted her offer. Alle pictures come from a videoCD.

Secondly I present Sophie Schütt in a TV-movie with a title too long to remember. Sophie's husband becomes paralized and marital problems follow. You'll notice that she gets on top of them ;-)

Finally I am proud to bring 8 collages of a French film that had extensive nudity in it. "Traitement de choc" ( Shock Treatment"), which dates back to 1973 but had 2 major French actors completely in the buff. On the male side we're talking about Alain Delon, who is still a big star in France, on the female side we have Annie Girardot, then 42, a respected French actress who was at the height of her career. There's also a lot of nudity by actors and actresses whose names I don't know. Three other actresses also show everything ; they could be Jeanne Colletin, Anna Gaylor, Lucienne Legrand, Anne-Marie Deschodt, Nicole Gueden. (Scoop's note: if you know who is who, tell me and I'll tell ICMS).

I hesitated quite a lot before I decided to also put much of the male nudity, especially Alain Delon, in the collages. I finally decided in favor of it because this film is IMO a document that really illustrates the "Zeitgeist" of 1973 really well : everything was possible, no-one bothered much about things and they were all happy. Political correctness still had to be invented ! I first saw this film in the early 1980's and had to wait until now before I could finally make vidcaps of it. It wasn't easy because in the sauna and in the sea everyone was moving constantly. (Scoop's note: unimportant. We don't seek to look at male nudity, but if it's there, it's there. Realist even had about a zillion pics of Depardieu's Li'l Gerald in that Bye-Bye Monkey film. If we can take the French Fatso, we can handle anything)

The film itself is about Annie who goes to a special health center near the sea for a rejuvenating treatment that later proves to be a shocking treatment. The doctor played by Delon, who heads the center, uses cells and organs of his Portuguese staff. For him it's only a minor detail that he has to kill his workers but Annie doesn't agree. In the end she kills Delon, but since the D.A. is a satisfied customer of the center, nothing happens. Delon's assistant simply takes over and Annie, well, she'll have to face a court case. "If I were you I'd plead temporary insanity", the D.A. advises her ! In the collages you can see Annie Girardot and the rest of the gang in the sauna and in the sea and Annie alone in the center and the doctor's shower. And everybody is stark nekkid. When are we finally going to get an American remake of this film ? Starring Aniston and Pitt, Kidman and Cruise... One can only hope I'm afraid.

Annie Girardot (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8)

Scoop's note: 27 years later, Annie Girardot, although more than a thousand years old and weighing more than a thousand pounds, is STILL doing nude scenes. Check out Charlie's update. She's not the oldest or largest star to do a nude scene. That would be Jessica Tandy and Willie the Orca, respectively.

"A Clockwork Orange", from Tuna

It's Kubrick day. I'm not going to review this movie. I've written volumes on it in th epast. IMDb viewers rank it among the top 100 ever made, and I would personally rank it in the top ten for sure, possibly in the top one. If you don't already know all about it, you probably meant to go to the Scooby page, not Scoopy. Darn those meddling kids!

"Happiness", from Tuna

I've written about this one in the past. Many people had it on their Top 10 list a couple years ago, and even felt that it deserved an Oscar nomination. The film hasn't had any "legs", though. I didn't notice it on anybody's "best of the 90's" list, and it has already drifted into semi-obscurity. It's a black comedy dealing with some very heavy issues (like the nature of happiness, for example). Critics love this kind of movie, but moviegoers seldom do, since the center is completely cerebral and there is nothing to grasp viscerally - no inspiration, no emotional stimulus, no characters to realate to, no action or mystery, no substantial plot, no sympathy or empathy.

"Como Agua Para Chocolate"

My leftovers. I did Lumi Cavazos the other day. Here are the other women in the movie Claudette Maille running from the burning shower stall. In more-or-less natural colors. Claudette Maille running from the burning shower stall. For you purists, this is the same picture in the original colors and tint of the film, which I really got sick of, so I didn't do any more Claudette Maille picked up by the outlaw. She was running stark naked from the shower. I got rid of the orange tint completely. Claudette Maille actually taking that shower. The old geezer who played the mother. Are these the ugliest breasts ever seen on film? I couldn't do crap with the lighting in this scene. It actually looked better before I started messing with it, but it just wasn't worth working on. If it was casta, I would have started over. For this old gal, take it as is.

Eyes Wide Shut - additional material

Of interest to some. It dawned on me from some e-mail conversations that I might be the only person in the world who has actually read and own "Traumnovelle", Arthur Schnitzler's novel upon which "Eyes Wide Shut" is based. I know that many people love to compare film treatments with the source material, so here's a summary of the book. (Disclaimer: I first read it years ago, when my German was quite fluent. I translated it today, and my German is no longer very good at all, so I may have some minor flaws in my summary.

Kubrick stayed quite close to the source material in tone and structure. The major changes:

1. He chose not to place the story in the Viennese interbellum, but to place it in contemporary NYC. In my opinion, the characters' fears and motivations make much more sense in 1925 than in 1999. I can understand the naivete of the Cruise and Kidman characters in the time before the sexual revolution and the liberation of women. For the wife to admit those dreams and fantasies in 1925 would have been completely shocking to virtually any man from the refined classes, and that fact would explain why he was so profoundly affected. In the modern context, his reaction is difficult for many viewers to comprehend and almost impossible to relate to.

   I also think that the sinister twists and turns of Old Vienna, with its gaslamp shadows and horse-drawn fiacres and Eastern European superstitions, would have made the story far more sinister. I guess that Kubrick either disagreed with that, or just didn't want it to be so sinister. Since Kubrick knew more about filmmaking than me, or anyone else, for that matter, I reckon he gets the benefit of the doubt on this one.

2. Kubrick created the Sidney Pollack character, presumably to create a connection between the doctor's everyday life and the strange world he inhabited in the two days in which the plot unfolds. This also gave Kubrick a dramatic vehicle to explain some unclear plot points in their final dialogue. I don't give Kubrick the benefit of the doubt on this one. I think he blew it. Adding that final dialogue between Pollack and Cruise was just sloppy and unnecessary storytelling, like the much-detested narrative overvoice in "Blade Runner".
3. The nature of the orgy has been changed. In the book the men and women of the cabal are all powerfil upper-crust types. In the movie, at least acording to Pollack's explanation to Cruise, only the men are power dudes. The women are just expensive hookers, and this is corroborated by the fact that the character Cruise treats for an overdose at the society ball, identified as a hooker, is definitely the same woman he sees later in the morgue. In the book, the woman who saved him is the same woman in the morgue - probably - but she is a Dutchess who did not previously know him at all. I think Kubrick's change gave the character a clearer motivation. The character in the movie had a reason to intercede on Cruise's behalf, namely his previous kindness to her. The motivation of the Baroness in the book was completely unclear.

   On the other hand, it seems to me that the society is a much more mysterious cabal if it consists of a bunch of rich people who molest each other's spouses semi-anonymously within a rigid set of rules, rather than a just bunch of drunken businessmen wearing capes and fucking some hookers.

Anyway, here's the summary of the book. Apologize in advance that my twin lacks of time and talent keep it from being better, but what do you expect from a porno page?
