So Bernard and Jane run away followed by a dwarf, the blackmailer’s men, who believe Bernard killed their boss and of course, the Police. They believe that Jerome, Jane’s brother, can help them to solve the case. But Jane doesn’t know where he is, or so she says. Corpse after corpse, Bernard will find out the truth.

Viewing Notes

Kinda wild that Kanopy has a Tinto Brass film but also kinda wild that this is so tame for a Brass film and one rated X (tho I wonder if Kanopy has an edited version?). Amusing to me that I chose to view this unaware that the two leads are the same two leads from DEATH LAID AN EGG, which I just watched.

This movie is fine and interesting for all the dynamite pop art used throughout the film. The murder mystery is only so-so but it’s a mostly fine journey to the end.
