Genre fave Beverly Garland (Not Of This Earth) starred in this 1962 drama about a woman married to a gaslighting sadist (creepy Skip Homeier). Director Ned Hockman purportedly walked off the set after arguing with the cast and crew, leaving the direction in co-star Homeier's hands. With Kenneth Tobey (It Came From Beneath The Sea) as Bev's empathetic employer.

Québécoise director Julian Roffman's 1961 b&w horror The Mask, his final feature, follows the downward spiral of a psychiatrist (soap opera star Paul Stevens) who inherits an ancient Aztec mask that drives its wearer to mayhem and murder. The mostly 2-D film includes surreal segments of kitschy 3-D imagery whenever the psyched-up shrink dons the mask. Also with Anne Collings from Roffman's The Bloody Brood (1959).

From Jerry Jackson, the producer of Cain's Cutthroats (1970), comes the perfect supporting feature for Michael Findlay's 1969 Hellenic hoedown Mnasidika. Two mopes (Buck Cartalian from Please Don't Eat My Mother! and some guy hiding under the moniker "Jack Strap") are transported by a deux ex machina (okay, a genie) to ancient Greece, where they witness scintillating Sapphic seductions and are coached in the art of sexual satisfaction by the likes of Bambi Allen (Satan's Sadists), Victoria (The Muthers) Bond, and former Dave Friedman secretary Shari Mann, star of Starlet! Filmed in "Factual Color," this particular visit to the Greek islands appears to be lost in time.

Harold Kovner's 1971 A Time To Love co-stars a pre-Deep Throat Harry Reems and Howard Blakey from Double Agent 73 as two former college pals who compare notes on their sex lives in an early hardcore feature that also includes Tina Russell, Darby Lloyd Rains, Tallie Cochrane of Gigi Goes To Pot, Roberta Findlay regular Arlana Blue, and Jean Parker from Stigma. Kovner's previous (and only other) directorial effort was the 1970 "white coater" The Postgraduate Course In Sexual Love.

The 1959 European crime thriller L'inferno addosso ("Hell On You") from director Gianni Vernuccio (1955's Cartouche) was repackaged for a 1966 U.S. release by distributor/producer William Mishkin. Also known as The Accomplices, it featured Sandro Pizzochero (The Slasher...Is The Sex Maniac!) and Sandro Luporini (The Man Who Burnt His Body) as two vapid young layabouts who mastermind a kidnapping plot that unravels over their mutual interest in "really pretty girl" Michela (Annabella Incontrera of The Black Belly Of The Tarantula). Often confused with the German film Die Wahrheit über Rosemarie (aka She Walks By Night), also from 1959, which played some U.S. engagements as Love Now, Pay Later.

Too bad this Mishkin's missing. It featured a crazed magician, guillotine decapitations, and one character's fiery finale. Director (and Johnny Carroll songwriter) J.G. Tiger also scripted and produced the rockabilly musical "Rock Baby - Rock It." Featuring Sandy Lyn from Barry Mahon's Violent Women and exploitation stalwart Steve Vincent (Drive-In Massacre) as the poet Dante Alighieri.

Based on an actual event from the 1930s, the German crime film Sommersprossen (1968) was the first feature from the prolific film and television director Helmut Förnbacher, who also co-stars. The frequently retitled feature (What A Way To Die, Freckles, etc.) involved the exploits of two German bank robbers (Förnbacher and William Keoma Berger) who try their hand in Basel, Switzerland. With Helga Anders from The Brutes (1970) and vivacious Giorgia Moll from Godard's Contempt (1963).

Along with industrial filmmaker Herschell G. Lewis, producer Dave Friedman churned out a series of nudies capitalizing on the immense popularity and boundary-pushing exposition of female flesh in Russ Meyer's The Immoral Mr. Teas (1959). This was their fourth, with a script co-written by Friedman and the director himself behind the camera. It stars future Lewis scriptwriter and spouse Louise "Bunny" Downe, Craig Maudslay, Jr. ("Ajax" from Lewis' Scum Of The Earth), and nudie film regulars Warrene Gray, Judy Parsons, Joan Bamford, and...part-time naturist Doris Wishman, who had beat Lewis and Friedman to the nudist punch with her 1958 Hideout In The Sun.

Producer/director Larry Crane's follow-up to The Devil In Velvet was this 1968 melange of mobsters, molls, mutilation, and murder in a burly-Q business with Sharon Kent from Indecent Desires, Uta Bacchanale Erickson, and John Damon from I Drink Your Blood as "Rudy." Filmed at what is now the site of a New York City Department of Sanitation garage.
