Yow! What a great obscurity this is! With a plot that sounds like a bad joke (seven couples are quarantined in a seedy hotel for possibly carrying the bubonic plague!), this wild and steamy dubbed melodrama has the premise of THE PETRIFIED FOREST, with claustrophobia and and hatred and fear creating unbearable sexual/political tension, combined with a parody of GRAND HOTEL! Surely one of the oddest of "Adults Only" flicks of the 60s, this has comedy, pathos and sex in equal measure, definitely a WOW!
