Treasure: I bet you thought my name was Treasure, huh? Treasure Evans. Just like the rest of the world thought. My fans; my public. Bet you thought that there were my parents, looking down at this cuddly little baby and saying "Ah, isn't she a treasure?" Why don't we call her that? No, that ain't the way it happened.
Treasure: [she continues] No, there I was on my lovely, little sixteen year old backside. Or was I on my belly? I really don't remember. Well, anyway, right side up or upside down, there I was, stretched out on the casting couch. Oh, yeah - they had casting couches.
Treasure: [she continues] And there was this fat, ugly, old producer. Well, he was important, I don't know, he was more than a producer, he was like a studio head. And he says to me: "Mary" - my real name, Mary - at any rate there he is looking down at me and drooling, and he says "Mary, you're a treasure".
Treasure: [she continues] Well, not long after that I became a star. Big house in Beverly Hills. I had a swimming pool; three pictures a year to do; jewellery; oh, good jewellery. And telephones - telephones everywhere. Ring-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling. "Hello, hello" - my telephone voice - "Hello, this is Treasure Evans".

This Spanish-Italian co-production could be considered a giallo I guess as the characters all meet their comeuppance in what (sometimes) appears to be foul play, but who is killing them or why is kind of beside the point. It's kind of just instant karma or the "flowers of vice" (as this is called in Spanish) coming to fruit. This movie kind of reminded me of Alberto Cavallone's deranged surrealistic masterpiece "Man, Woman, and Beast" (which was also set during a rural religious festival) or one of those late 60's/early 70's drugged-out "head" movies like Dennis Hopper's own "The Last Movie" where the people behind the camera were no doubt consuming more pharmaceuticals than the people on screen.
Carroll Baker is surprisingly good (even if her role here is obviously not much of a stretch) and Dennis Hopper could always do this kind of stuff pretty well no matter what substance was in his bloodstream. It's also nice to see the ethereally pretty Spanish actress Inma DeSantis, even if she got rewarded for her presence here by getting to do a long, nude sex scene with a VERY sweaty, pre-detox Hopper (who French kisses a cough drop out of her mouth in a scene that is either very erotic or very disgusting, I'm not quite sure). This is a very strange movie, but I actually kinda liked it
