Viewing Notes

Another one from the Lenzi / Baker set and the only one I hadn’t seen before. This is probably the best of the four films, elevated by Jean Sorel. Still need to revisit the other two.

Still don’t get why Carroll Baker was a thing for Italian cinema during this period. She’s fine but really does nothing for me. Also, this is the first time I’ve seen her nude in one of these films. Kind of shocking, really.
