"Of Human Bondage" (1934)

Of Human Bondage (1934) is the film that put Bette Davis on the map. She was nominated for best actress, which she won the following year for a lesser performance. In this first of three films based on the W. Somerset Maugham novel of the same name, we see more blatant sexuality than in either of the remakes due to the fact that censorship codes where not yet in place. Image 2 shows clear pokies, and the dress in 3 is spray-on. There is also a great deal of cleavage.

Dr. Carey, played by Leslie Howard, is convincing in the role of a man who let a physical deformity (a club foot) ruin his life. He falls madly and inexplicably in love with a waitress (Davis), who uses him between her several relationships with other men. The entire story is basically about extra-marital sexual relationships, and was soundly criticized by those calling for censorship in film. Even today and with no nudity, it is easy to see why it caused a stir in 1934. This is part of a three DVD set of pre-code films, and is very nicely mastered from the original 35 mm print for a film 66 years old. I hope you enjoy these images of 26 year old Bette Davis near the start of her remarkable 112 film career which included 2 Oscars for Best Actress, and 8 other nominations.

    "Heaven's Burning" (1998)

    Heaven's Burning (1998) is an Australian made thriller/tragic romance. It was rumored to have exposure from lovely Youki Kudoh, but I did not find it. The images I did find were nice enough to work on, however. Hang on tight for the plot. A Japanese woman (Youki) is on her honeymoon in Australia. She was planning on leaving her husband there, and running off with her boss who chickened out on her. She ran away from the husband anyway. She walks into a bank, and gets taken as a hostage in a holdup. The getaway driver (Russel Crowe) takes a liking to her, and kills one of his Afghan partners to save her life. They take off, and are chased by her husband who "wants to kill her because he loves her so much," by the relatives of the Afghan they shot, and by the police.

    The plot is every bit as lame as it sounds, but some of the photography was very nice. This is not one I would wait in line to rent.

    • Tomcat did "Le jeu avec le feu", a Robbe-Grillet movie with a vast amount of nudity from Anicell Alvina, Christine Boisson, Sylvia Kristel and others.
    • There are also some extra pictures of Alvina from Celebrity Sleuth, Volume 4, Issue 6. Celebrity Sleuth's back issues are the bible of celebrity nudity, with more naughty stuff than the Song of Songs, and with fully 36% less smithing than the Old Testament. They are the most important resource I have for pictures and information, and they are humorous to boot! Link to Sleuth here, for subscriptions, back issues, some galleries.
    • The other day, I mentioned that I had never seen "The Game", so I remedied that. Fun movie, but no flesh!
    • I also watched "The Life of Python", a new two-disk collector's set. Sorry, no nudity except the topless tobacconist. (And some of our lads)

    • I added a film clip to Scoopy TV from the Python disk. It is part of John Cleese's funeral oration for Graham Chapman. (It won't take long to load. I used Real Media, and compressed it down to only 180k, so it's no larger than a picture and will load fast, but it's not worthwhile if you don't have sound. You need a Real Player to view it.)

    If you skip the words and get right to the smut, here ya go.

    Jennifer Connelly FRONTAL NUDITY?!!

    Yup, it seems that this is legitimate frontal nudity vidcapped from a bootlegged version of "Requiem for a Dream"!
    I haven't seen it myself, but several of the reviews I read did allude to a practically X rated sex scene with Connelly.

    I think it's time to go the movies....

    Marina Sirtis For the Trek fans...brand spankin' new vidcaps featuring hefty cleavage from Wednesday night's "Voyager".

    Also for the fans...on next weeks episode, The Doctor gets into Seven of Nine's body and partially takes over. Apparently there's a whole lotta' lovin' goin' on, as Seven gets hit on my some alien dude, and The Doctor inside of Seven falls for an alien babe! Since it's only TV don't expect much, but the thought of a some semi-Borg lesbo action appeals to me.

    Blonde, Euro-porn babe doing her thing. Looks like these are 'caps from a couple of edited hardcore flicks. The sex looks pretty real, but nothing south of the border is visible (aside from a hint of pubes here and there). If you're a collector of images looking for a new face...she's obviously not a big celebrity over here in the states, but she doesn't look too shabby, and does very well in the body department.

    Scans and comments by Sisyphus:
    These are the first two of five of what I believe is one of the hottest women on the planet! When I was growing up the female singers didn't look like her at all. Grace Slick, Janis Joplin, Carole King and Joni Mitchell all left a bit to be desired.

    Three more from the new Italian Max.
    #1 is a great fully nude B&W with breast exposure
    #2 is a partial topless pic (in color)
    #3 is my pick of the three. Even though there is no "real" exposure in this B&W Max calendar preview, she is fully nude, and seductively alluring.
    Antonella Mosetti Italian dancer and showgirl. Thanks to Forch 1.
    Halle Berry
    (1, 2)
    Always a Fun House favorite...#1 is shows Halle in a very see-thru top. #2 is the ol' arms over boobs pose.
    Yasmine Bleeth
    (1, 2)
    For the folks who just come for the pics...here is an excellent before and after example of how much effort many of the contributing artists put into these great scans. #1 shows all of the text that shares the cover of a magazine with Yasmine, #2 is just Yasmine.
    Kylie Minogue Topless paparazzi pic of the Aussie singer and actress by PicCap.
    Angela Nicoletti Seen topless in the sorta-documentary movie about her husband Andy McCoy, the leader of the long forgotten band Hanoi Rocks. Anyway...the movie was called "The Real McCoy". Vidcaps by RoSSol.
    Penélope Cruz More topless nudity from "Jamón, jamón". This time we thank Schmutzfink for'caps of the lovely Ms. Cruz.
    Elisabeth Shue Caught in her undies in scenes from "The Saint".
    Gisele Bundchen A semi see-thru of Gisele on the runway. No real nipple visibility, but still very nice.
    Iman An excellent B&W of the supermodel.
    Traylor Howard Subtle see-thru nipple sighting from a recent appearance in FHM.
