Alberto Dubois' 1962 crime drama La flor de Irupé introduced shapely Argentine sex symbol and Isabel Sarli competitor Libertad Leblanc (El satánico) to cinematic thrill seekers worldwide, and also starred Hector Pellegrini (The Loves of Kafka) and Mario Casado from Armando Bo's Fievre. The steamy script ties together a tale of desperate bank robbers with a folk legend about a naked swamp ghost (Leblanc). Despite the star baring her ample anatomy in the Argentine original, the dubbed 1966 U.S. version of this black and white dermatological drama, now entitled Love Hunger, amped up the skin factor with color inserts featuring a nude flashback scene. The following year Dubois delivered The Pink Pussy: Where Sin Lives, also with the libidinous Leblanc.
