The last exposure from next Tuesday's DVD releases is from Daniela Doria, who shows breasts in two Lucio Fulci films. There are two Cheech and Chong films being released as well, but neither has exposure.
"The Black Cat" (1980)
The Black Cat, AKA Gatto nero, Il (1980), is loosely based on a Poe story of the same name. A man has psychic powers that he exercises with the help of his cat familiar. When he realizes that the cat is evil and killing people, he poisons and hangs the cat, but the cat comes back to life and
controls him. Doria is half of a young couple murdered early in the film while hiding in a boat house to make out. Fulci is known for gore, but didn't have much in this film. He has a thing about eyes, and there are countless frames of closeups of eyes. Teh English village where it is set
is picturesque.
The film really didn't do anything for me. There was no suspense, no surprise, and a languid pace. Fulci's horror works were not received well in Italy, but he has found an audience among Euroshock fans in the US. There are no reviews by major critics. The few on-line reviews pretty much agree that this is not a very special film. IMDB readers have it at 4.3/10. I say D+, barely suitable for genre lovers.

"The House by the Cemetery" (1981)
The House by the Cemetery, or Quella villa accanto al cimitero (1981), lives up to Fulci's reputation for gore, and exhibits his fetish for showing eyes. Doria, this time, exposes her breasts then dies horribly before the opening credits.The story is very muddled and hard to follow,
but is about a professor who goes to continue some historical research started by a colleague who recently committed suicide. He and his family move into a house next to a cemetery, and he discovers that his colleague had been looking into the identity of a Dr. Freudstein, who had supposedly
been dead for a long time. People start disappearing, the family discovers a creepy basement under their house, and a grave stone for Dr. Freudstein in the hall floor, but never for a moment suspect that the good Dr. is still alive and living in the basement, and killing and carving people to
sustain his life.
It is every bit as lame as it sounds, and much of the film -- the part in the basement -- is way too dark. Still, it is a much better film than The Black Cat. IMDB readers have it at a respectable 6.6/10. If you are curious about Fulci's work, this is the one to rent. I say C -- good genre film but little or no crossover appeal.

"10" Revisited once again
The story of the party guests has proven to be perhaps more interesting than the film itself. Director Blake Edwards hired porn superstars for the orgy scenes figuring that they would be comfortable with the nudity. Thanks to Sleuth and many Funhouse members, nearly all have been identified, and the list reads like a Whose Who of porn. They were all put up in a hotel suite, and the party was so wild that their room service was cut off. At one point, Edwards directed one of the male stars to get up, meaning get out of the chair he was in, and the star misunderstood what was supposed to be up, and started spanking his monkey on set. When Dudley Moore related this story during a Playboy interview, his girlfriend, who was off camera, nearly stopped the interview she laughed so hard.
Interesting to me were the number of people who recognized one of the women, as she was a personal favorite. No two people had the same favorite. I have labeled and renamed the images. Here are the stars:
Constance Money (real name Susan Jensen), star of the classic "The Opening of Misty Beethoven."
Annette Haven, a former nurses aide, who had one of the prettiest faces in porn. She refused to do facials.
Dorothy LeMay
Serena Blacquelord, usually billed as Serena
Candida Royale, who started Femme, a studio devoted to producing films women would enjoy too. My favorite of the titles she released is called "Three Daughters." I read an interview where she said she had several more films in the cans, but there was no way to make a profit releasing them. When porn made the transition from film and adult theater releases to video, the gross/film was much lower, and the economics of creating a video version of her 35 mm films just did not make sense. This same change from film and theaters ended the golden age of porn. There was a time when it looked like porn and mainstream films might get close enough together to join hands. Some of
these classics are becoming available on DVD, although I have no idea of the transfer quality. Titles available include:
Behind the Green Door
Debby Does Dallas (The Original)
The Devil in Miss Jones
Deep Throat
If there is any interest, I will cap these.
Again, thanks to everyone who provided information.
By the way, the images in the Tuna archive have been updated.

Still recovering from the flu or something, but I managed at least a little bit today. Here's the overview page for Swordfish
-
Halle Berry. This may set a record for lowest tech picture ever. Elya and Katya were in Colorado with the digital camera, so I had to improvise and buy a disposable camera at a convenience store. Bad idea. Not only did I have to wait to get the pics developed, then scan them, but the quality was awful. I mean the picture really sucks. That's life. Luckily, a couple other guys did better versions in yesterday's edition.
The erotic thriller, Kept, was previously reviewed by Tuna. He pointed out that it stinks as a thriller, because the director inadvertently revealed the killer. It really stinks as erotica because there are rarely any scenes where you can tell who's making love! Almost all the sex scenes are shot in body part close-ups. Yawn!

non-nude of P.J. Soles. If you are a fan of PJ's, from a couple decades back, you might know that she's been working again, on and off, and I thought you
might be interested to see how she looks today. Actually, she turned into Alice from The Brady Bunch. She was 21 in Carrie, but Carrie was (gasp!) 25 years ago.
I haven't written review pages yet for Re-Animator and One Tough Cop. Reanimator is the classic cheesy horror film featuring extensive nudity from pretty scream queen Barbara Crampton. (Doctor brings the dead back to love, sometimes in pieces). One Tough Cop is a straight-to-something film with the Blond Baldwin, memorable only for a very brief peek at Gina Gershon's butt cheek in #2. (#1 is a non-peek at her nipple)

Jackie is my multiple submission for grossest nude actress ever. Her skin is all leathery from sunbathing all the time in Mexico. She has been credited as an "old lady" in a 1974 movie but as late as 1987 she was still doing nude scenes.
Link #1 A Winter Tan (1987) (48 years old!)
Link #2 Monkeys in the Attic (1974)
Link #3 125 Rooms of Comfort (1974)

Kim shows breasts and some bush as she's forced to take a bath in "Psycho Girls" (1986).

Quick...name a movie with Billy Zane, a boat, and a redhead. That's right gang, he's made more than one. The one with Kidman of course is 1989's "Dead Calm". An enjoyable thriller with Zane playing a psycho who terrorizes Kidman and Sam Neil. Kidman shows a nice bit of bum, and some breast exposure.

Breast exposure in the Canadian movie "The Last Stop". I'm not sure who the dude in these 'caps is, but if his acting career isn't going so well, I'm sure he can pick up a few bucks winning Mickey Rourke look-a-like contests.
| Natalie Radford |
Topless in scenes from another movie on Dolph Lundgren's long list of crappy straight to video movies. This one is called "Agent Red" or "Captured".
