Brazilian actor J.P. Carvalho, aka Billy Davis, directed two films including this one,1963's Bonitinha, Mas Ordinária (Pretty, But Ordinary), a bleak depiction of societal corruption and malevolence. Its script was based on a play by controversial Brazilian playwright and sports commentator Nelson Rodrigues ("All Nudity Shall Be Punished"), who referred to his own work as "theater of the unpleasant."  Victoria Films dubbed the film, added nude inserts, and tweaked the title for a 1965 tour of U.S. fleapits. With Jece Valadão (José Mojica Marins' Embodiment Of Evil) and Odete Lara from Glauber Rocha's 1969 classic Antonio das Mortes.

Academy Award-nominated documentary and experimental filmmaker Barry Spinello (A FIlm About Sharon) made two soft core sex films in the mid-seventies, this entertaining 1975 feature and the earlier Bizarre Devices (1973). Financed by Harry Novak, Massage Parlor Wife starred porn stars Serena (Never So Deep), Tyler Reynolds (Hard Candy), Susan Catherine (Lollipop Palace), David Hardgore Book, and Claire James from The Journey of O. According to a Rialto Report interview with Spinello, producer Novak not only pressed for hardcore content but inserted an additional scene to the director's final cut.

The inimitable Andy Milligan (Torture Dungeon) directed over a half-dozen soft core sex films, in his own unique style, for New York-based distributor William Mishkin. All but several of these were thought to have been destroyed by Mishkin's son Lew, but prints of Milligan's Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me! (1968) and The Degenerates (1967) were recently located and have reportedly been restored by Severin Films. The former starred Natalie Rogers from Al Viola's A Woman In Love as a woman who cheats on her abusive husband (Don Williams from Milligan's The Ghastly Ones) with his supposed best friend (soap opera star Peter Ratray). Also with Gerald Jacuzzo from Milligan's Guru, The Mad Monk and Angela Peters as "Lurlene."

Louis Garfinkle, who later co-wrote The Deer Hunter for Michael Cimino, wrote and directed Beautiful People, a 1970 film about an encounter group led by a charlatan. It bombed, but was later reissued with nude scenes and a ridiculous framing device and new campaign attempting to cash in on the current box-office smash The Exorcist (1973). With Sonja Dunson (Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song), Leigh Heine from Your Three Minutes Are Up as "Boobs," Harvey "Forman" Shain (Lady Godiva Rides), Lisa Todd from The Doll Squad, William The Black Gestapo Quinn, and Ann Staunton (The Vampire) as "Mrs. Ding-Dong." Steve The Muthers Vincent was the quack doctor/devil.

Sande N. Johnsen of The Twisted Sex notoriety also gave us this 1967 softcore sexer that strings together the requisite groping as case histories related by a loose-lipped employee of a computer dating service. With Yolanda Signorelli from Too Much, Too Often!, the Bennett sisters Dawn and Darlene (The Soul Snatcher), and Steve Harris from Robert Downey's Chafed Elbows. Jeff Bezos-owned website imdb.com dubiously claims it also starred Betty Lynn, "Thelma Lou" from The Andy Griffith Show.  Distributed by Chelly Wilson's Chellee Films but now apparently lost

Miami movie legend Brad Grinter (Flesh Feast) purportedly cut costs on this R-rated 1970 cheapie, a late entry in the biker genre, by using students from his film class along with friends and members of his family as makeshift cast and crew. Runaway teen Kathy (Barry Mahon's daughter Sharon) gets chummy with a violent cycle club, leading to a showdown between the bikers and her black belt beau (real-life karate champ Ridgeley Abele). With stuntman Ross Kananga (Live And Let Die) sporting an eye patch as head cyclist Champ, Chris Martell from H.G. Lewis' The Gruesome Twosome, Simon Prescott (Hell's Bloody Devils), and an appearance by Florida psych band Heroes of Cranberry Farm (originally The Squires Four).

South African expatriate Charles Romine's only directorial outing, aside from sharing a credit on a feature about "ancient astronauts," was this sleazy early seventies sex-horror shocker from Harry Novak's Boxoffice International, originally released in 1968 by Distribpix as the X-rated Any Body...Any Way. Seemingly meek birdwatcher Dr. Bradley (Daniel Garth), bearing an unsettling resemblance to Henry Kissinger, attends a hippie party to find new subjects for the experiment he's conducting "behind locked doors." With Ivan Agar (Shriek of the Mutilated), Frank Mini-Skirt Love Spencer, Michael McClanathan (Alice's Restaurant), and Madeleine La Roux from Cry Uncle! among a cast of mostly unknowns. Romine co-wrote the sicko script with Stanley Brassloff (Two Girls For A Madman). 

For his fourth full directorial credit, indie legend Roger Corman (A Bucket Of Blood) worked from a script by David Stern, author of Francis, The Talking Mule and source of its sequels. There's no wisecracking ass in this tale but there is Mike (billed here as "Touch") Conners, later to be television's Mannix but here a kidnap victim opposite tough gal convicts Marie Windsor (Howco's Outlaw Women), A.I.P. fave Beverly Garland (It Conquered The World), and Susan "It's a cookbook!" Cummings. It's about a search for stolen diamonds hidden deep inside a Louisiana bayou. Carole Mathews (Female Fiends) is the policewoman who masterminds a plan to find the jewels by allowing the three cunning cons to escape and then tailing them through the snake-infested muck.

Jerald Intrator (Satan In High Heels) oversaw the 1972 English-language release of Horror y sexo, the racy export version of actor/director Rene The Braniac Cardona's 1969 La horripilante bestia humana, added medical footage of heart surgery, and saddled it with a memorably oddball title. It's a gamier remake of Cardona's 1963 Doctor of Doom with José Elías Moreno (Santa Claus) as a scientist who accidentally transforms his sickly son Julio (Augustín Martínez Solares) into a murderous monster (wrestler Gerardo Zepeda in a blockhead mask). Norma Lazareno (The Vengeance of the Vampire Women) is wrestler Lucy Osorio, though the ring action is watered down from Cardona's original. Intrator paired his result with Emilio Vieyra's 1967 Placer sangrieto, previously released in the U.S. as The Deadly Organ (see May 5 entry).

 A veritable Who's Who of sixties' NYC and South Florida nudie films, Barry Mahon's 1965 oddity "in bloody panic color" also features the filmmaker himself in a dual role as a cop and the titular "beast" (a well-worn gorilla costume) causing havoc at a Miami nudist camp. Appearing sans costume are New York regulars Darlene Bennett (Take Me Naked), Gigi Darlene (Artist Studio Secrets), Judy Satan's Bed Adler, Janet Banzet from Professor Lust,  future porn star Juliet "Aunt Peg" Anderson (Fox Holes), June Roberts (My Brother's Wife), and more. The Miami contingency includes Dolores Carlos (Indiscreet Stairway), H.G. Lewis associate Louise "Bunny" Downe from Scum of the Earth, Christy Foushee (It's Hot on Sin Island), and Sandra Sinclair (Blaze Starr Goes Nudist). Byron Mabe (The Defilers), who also appears, was Mahon's assistant director.
