Writer/director Joel The Incredible Torture Show Reed's campy 1969 Career Bed stars future hardcore star Jennifer Welles as an emotionally abused young woman shopped around to predatory talent agents by her amoral stage manager mother (a hilarious Honey Hunter). With Georgina Spelvin (Centerspread Girls) as a lesbian talent agent, Ann Wells from The Headless Eyes, Charles Carlton Buffum (Robert Downey Sr.'s Putney Swope), John Cardoza (later a Christian Broadcasting Company film producer) as a film producer, and Reed himself as a sound technician. Featuring the undeniably catchy theme tune "Career Bed" credited to Vic Spina and the Lost Children.

Film editor Edward Rollercoaster Biery's single directorial effort, the 1964 nudie cutie The Peeping Phantom, relocates Gaston Leroux's vengeful ghoul to the striptease milieu. It's told via flashback in a cut-rate courtroom setting, where a bevy of strippers in turn identify the notorious Peeping Phantom as their voyeur. Also released as How To Succeed With Girls, it features Paul Leder of I Dismember Mama infamy, Playboy Playmate Marissa Mathes (Blood Bath), future porn director Ted Roter (Norma), South Florida's Dolores Carlos (Bunny Yeager's Nude Camera), Cathy Crowfoot from Mermaids of Tiburon, and future star of television's Golden Girls Rue McClanahan. Co-writer Bill Norton later co-wrote Cisco Pike with Robert Towne.  Alas, only a trailer survives.

A Time to Love director Harold Kovner's The Postgraduate Course in Sexual Love is a 1970 "white coater" starring prolific television character actor and former skin flick fixture John Dullaghan (also in the similar Sessions of Love Therapy) as a professor who lectures at length about the varieties of human sexuality while screening soft core and XXX footage of various carnal couplings to a classroom of apathetic college students. Also with Bert and Babs Lewison from Big Beaver Splits the Scene, Fran Carston (Kama Sutra '71), Jane and Michael Barber (The Zodiac Couples) as a hippie duo, and Jane Tsentas from The Big Snatch.

Screenwriter Jim Macher (The Notorious Cleopatra) turns a Shakespeare classic and previous year's hit movie into a crotch opera in this 1969 Boxoffice International softcore comedy from exploitation vet Peter Perry Jr. (My Tale Is Hot). Harvey Shain (Office Love-In) is Romeo; his Juliet is Dee Lockwood (Maid Marian from The Erotic Adventures of Robin Hood). For star-crossed lovers theirs is a curiously non-comital relationship. Also featuring Orgy of the Dead dancer Mickey Jines, Steven Vincent from Drive-In Massacre and award-winning sci-fi author and Adam Film World founder William Rotsler as the Prince. 

"Experience Feel-A-Vision!" Canyon Cinema founder Paul Hunt (Wild, Free & Hungry) directed, co-produced, and filmed this oddball 1968 experiment with subjective visual perspective that alleged to make the viewer a participant in the soft porn action scenes, a grubby grab bag of nude photography studios, a cult's orgiastic initiation ritual, a dalliance with street whores, and, likely because the other producer was Bob Cresse, a whipping. Written by Ron The Toy Box Garcia, this apparently lost feature starred Cathy Adams (Love Camp 7) and Maria Lease from Sinthia, The Devil's Doll amid a cast of unknowns. Distributed with pride through Cresse's Olympic International Films.

Filmed entirely in Japan, the Italian-produced Violated Paradise visits various big-city iniquities via the perambulations of Tomako (Kazuko Mine from Blind Spots of the Female Body), a young villager seeking her fortune as a geisha in a Tokyo teeming with strip clubs and prostitution. Along the way she takes in a coastal fishing village where dwells a potential love interest and topless pearl divers. Based on the writings and documentary films of Italian ethnologist Fosco Maraini, this proto-mondo feature was produced and directed by Russian-born Marion Gering, whose 1930's directorial career at Paramount (Madame Butterfly with Cary Grant and Sylvia Sidney, for one) was then a distant memory. With cringe-inducing narration read by jazz musician Paulette Girard (as Tomako) and mansplainer Tom Rowe.

The late Sande N. Johnsen (The Beautiful, the Bloody, and the Bare) directed this spurious 1965 expose of a sex club called "The Secret Society" that keeps its dues-paying members well entertained with stag films and orgies, and, if needed, a secret abortion clinic. Patrons include New York nudie regulars Judy Adler (Satan's Bed) as well as Darlene Bennett from Hot Nights On the Campus along with five of her co-stars from the Barry Mahon short Instant Orgy (1967). Along with Al Ruban's The Sexploiters, it was one of two New York nudies distributed that year by Bob Cresse's Olympic International Films of Los Angeles. Its 1968 sequel in name only, Return of the Secret Society (aka Babette), survives, but Johnsen's original apparently does not.

Robert Walker Jr. from Hambone and Hillie stars in this brown acid tab of a movie as Jonas, a young drifter who is suddenly declared the prodigal son of a gas station owner (Rita Gilda Hayworth). He plays along, especially once he meets his hot "sister" (Mimsy Farmer from More). Also featuring character actor Ed Begley (The Dunwich Horror) in his last film and Ivano Staccioli from Women's Camp 119. Though set in middle America, it was filmed in Spain and France by French filmmaker Georges Lautner (Femmina). Based on the novel Sur la Route de Salina by Maurice Cury. The theme "Sunny Road to Salina" by Christophe was later borrowed for Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani's Let the Corpses Tan and a Quentin Tarantino film.

Based on a 1947 play by famed existentialist Jean-Paul Sartre, La Putain Respectueuse is a low-budget French drama set in the U.S. deep south from the tag team of Charles Brabant and Marcello Pagliero. It stars Barbara Laage from Truffaut's Bed and Board as Lizzie McKay, a hooker who witnesses a racially-motivated killing and is then coerced into fingering an innocent black man as the culprit to protect the true killer, a senator's nephew. Also with Ivan Desny from Fassbinder's The Marriage of Maria Braun and jaunty Jacques Hilling (Clouzot's Diabolique). The 1957 English-language release was poorly received, partly due to shoddy, unconvincing dubbing, and is best remembered for the noir-ish cinematography from the masterful Eugen Schüfftan (Eyes Without A Face).

Cruise ship passengers Sandy (Jayne Mansfield) and Claire (Marie "The Body" McDonald from Getting Gertie's Garter) are both pregnant and unsure if their husbands are the fathers in this 1963 nudie cutie also starring co-producer Tommy Noonan (Cottonpickin' Chickenpickers) as Sandy's supposedly impotent husband, and Mansfield's real-life hubby Mickey Hargitay (Bloody Pit of Horror) as Claire's spouse. Also with Fritz Feld from Bringing Up Baby and Eddie Quillan from Wheeler and Woolsey's Girl Crazy. The sole feature film directed by actor King Donovan ("Twirly Boggs" from television's Bonanza), it's a slog when Mansfield - who bared everything legal in Playboy to promote the film - is not onscreen.
