One of the girls, Margherita (Teresa Ann Savoy), discovers the plot and with Kitty they try to expose the conspiracy.
A film full of naziploitation, that dwells on the kinks and sexual tortures inflicted on the women. This is very loosely based on a real life story, but is really just an excuse to show as much fetishistic activity as possible.
aka Fresh Air.
We all know what to expect here, a soft-core sexploitation that follows various air hostesses. In this instance Debbie (Regina Carrol), as she works, rests and plays in and around Las Vegas and Palm Springs. Bizarrely this features Bob Livingstone, a has been western star, way past his prime as the male lead, who we are led to believe can charm the most beautiful of women, dispite being almost 70! If you want lots of incidental scenes that last forever, go nowhere and feature some very stilted dialogue, then this is for you. Then just when you think its a light weight piece of fluff they throw in a heavy kidnap plot.
The artist Reno Miller (Abel Ferrara) shares a loft with his girlfriend Carol (Carolyn Marz), and Pamela (Baybi Day). He spends his days battling to finish what he believes to be his masterpiece. The pressure of this and the continuous rehearsals of the punk band downstairs cause Reno to loose sleep, sending him into psychosis. This madness compels him to take to the streets, taking his frustrations out on the homeless, with a portable drill!
Despite its tarring as a video nasty, this is actually a well thought out, though rough looking film, mirroring the New York in which the protagonist lives.
Dr. Frankenstein (Colin Clive) is a man with a mission to defeat death. To do so he creates a person from body parts he has scavenged from corpses. He creates and animates the monster (Boris Karloff), a creature that struggles to come to terms with its life after death.
Though not much of Mary Shelley's novel makes it into this script, this set the benchmark for all that followed, from the stormy laboratory, the hunchback assistant, and the malformed creature. A true classic.
