Yes, this movie is awful as it normal for D'Amato and its my favored across collection of some 2000 awful flicks. Its awful because I couldn't find decent copy, colors off etc. So what makes it my favored? Main chick! She is slut, cheesy, undress often and, in short, this is the way single men like any women. Reality in USA quite strange for any local as women became species not necessarily females. This movie is a dream, imagination and a story and D'Amato makes conflict after conflict to keep it running. It also realistically shows how we, men, chase anything with name female on it. Yes, sex part kinda not here--too bad. The flick not shy touch social aspect namely money which is name of the game in US.

Excellent realism.

Warning: Spoilers
Yes,I have two copies of this flick and the one with English language is laser disc's copy with Chinese/Korean subtitles. Not like D'Amato invented something new here or gave us unusual angle on human stupidity but realism dominates in his New Orleans movies and two main characters playing well and chicks hot and everything in right places at right times. We may say its all outdated but 40 years later I don't see any changes around me, yes, the song of life has same tune. Enough skin to keep viewer begging for more but nothing explicit happens. I am surprised D'Amato gets so little attention from printing studios but, I guess there is a reason behind. There are better entries in my opinion in this field like his "A Lustful Mind" of which I have three copies with different ending.I am not sure why he was jumping from realism to fantasy or to pornography his only strong point was realism anyway.
Black Sex

strange but engaging

D'Amato mentality is sure different from mainstream crowd movie-goers but is it good or bad, is it art or porno, is it possible to define? Its all depend on who you ask, right? So why I watch this B-movie from past but not something mainstream? Yes, why? Why I don't mention anything like "Citizen Kane" which supposedly timeless jewel? Simple. Because D'Amato reflect on my life and my experience, yes, somehow I feel connected. Any movie is a propaganda and propaganda have to be convincing, real and imaginative. Do I actually care what's movie about? No, I am expecting to be engaged by plot, music, actors, location, talking etc. Once upon the time I watch supposedly great movie about Vietnam with great Chuck Norris and how he is great and Vietnamese bad, then I ask myself--who invaded who--Vietnam invaded USA or USA invaded Vietnam? As the answer was self-obvious so great Chuck Norris suddenly not so great anymore. And so it goes.

propaganda at its best!
4 May 2014
No, I don't know how I manage to add this opus to my collection but that's not the point. The point is this is propaganda from somebody who still goes to kindergarten, open his/her mouth when teacher talk, never heard about internet, never visited Akihabara in Tokyo but manage to secure nice budget for his/her point of ??? Yes, only attractive and rich people participate, there is some mentioning of some diaries for unknown purpose, all men have sex fully clothed and instead of women we see female species who are thinking they are apex of universe. Of course no reason to show skin in such serious movie but call men animals really cool. If you will try to compare this flick to D'Amato worst you still ahead of game. As I am not suppose to write a spoiler you should read others reviews.
La lunga notte della paura
(1994 Video)
Not bad for some imagination and plot.
1 February 2014
I stumble on this one on internet and liked the point that plot is logical, contain elements of reality and hot chicks. Sex itself represented by simple pornography like I'd seen plenty and I still surprised by lack of any imagination and minimum positions. Clearly, Salieri don't know that market is over-saturated with porn, he just shoot flick, put it for sale and hoping for the best. But the plot is anything but standard, plot is why I try and fail so far to buy this on DVD which is strange. I had seen quite a few of Salieri opuses and all them contain lousy porno. In my book term pornography is not just hard sex, no, anything that done in bad taste is pornography.

Primitive beyond redemption.
31 January 2014
For a start I have to make benchmark which for me is Tinto Brass and then its clear this flick will not qualify for consideration. It basically pretend to be a porno but as my benchmark for porno are Danish movies "In the sign of..." D'Amato will get fail on this test. In short its junk beyond redemption. Sure, chicks are naked often but word plot was lost somewhere. Imagination as moving force in movie's art not here that's the biggest problem. But his other flick "Bocca Golosa" in same porno style I remember as positive step with strange charm. I hope somebody gives us broad review of all his attempts so I don't have to waste my money. My impression is his best time was in between 1970 and 1980.

Something to consider.
29 December 2013
The main problem visible in this flick is lack of imagination or talent, if I am allowed to say. I couldn't find English or subtitles either and my Italian is zero. Main character, attractive female, has some strange medical problem and luckily we follow her escapades everywhere. She tries some of very standard sex which I guess is main problem and as I am familiar with other D'Amato works he pays too much attention to male anatomy instead of female which is a problem for all movies in last century. It is hardly a pornography but/and appeal is very limited in time, place, plot or public life. The end is, however, done properly.
