PROMISES, PROMISES

One of Jayne Mansfield's last films was this outrageous sex romp set on an ocean liner. The plot, involving bed hopping and mistaken identities, served as an excuse for Mansfield’s patented, infamous nude scenes. A provocative farce that was quite risqué in its time (the original version was banned in many cities and substituted with an edited version).

This NYFA video edition is the rare, original uncut edition Jayne Mansfield, Mickey Hargitay, Tommy Noonan, Marie McDonald, Imogene Cocoa.

ECSTASY

Heddy Lamarr achieved international notoriety by appearing nude in this once banned 1933 film. She plays a new bride who becomes disillusioned with her husband. One day, while swimming nude, her horse runs off and during the chase she is spotted by a man who falls madly for her and leads her into a tragic affair. Unusual avant-garde photography and stylized montage juxtapositions look like something from the New Wave of the 60's rather than anything from the 30's. Checkoslavakia,

TONIGHT FOR SURE

One of Francis Ford Coppola's first feature films was this quickie nudie romp. The plot concerns two fine and upstanding gentlemen of the community who vow to wipe out the horror of 'indecent feminine exposure'. To this end, they plant a bomb in a popular strip joint. While waiting for the opportunity to set the bomb off, they both recount stories -- shown in full color flashback-- of how naked women have ruined their lives! The flashbacks are interwoven with performances from the strip show that the two men carefully follow for educational purposes; "We have to know what we're up against!" An interesting look at the start of a great director.

Directed by Francis Ford Coppola. Featuring Electra, Karla Lee and Exotica.

TWO NIGHTS WITH CLEOPATRA

Long before Sophia Loren Achieved international success and became a "respectable" actress, she starred in a number of low budget campy films like "Era Lui, Si, Si" and this one. Churned out quickly, on low budgets with a bit of nudity for titilation they remain interesting cinema curiosities and a collector's item for Loren Fans.

According to tradition the Dean must be a married and poor Max is not just single but a virgin to boot ! The boys set out to "fix" Max’s problem by dragging him off to sex shops, strip shows and houses of ill repute. And if this weren't enough, poor Max's virginal state of being has attracted an entire army of women eager to help him do the dirty deed. A saucy, spicy sex farce from the world’s porno capital.
