This is essentially an old-fashioned, Tales Of The Unexpected type drama made a little bit special by the way its done, ie quite seedy, gaudy looking, fairly kinky. It is very Seventiesish and very continental, with all of the leading actresses disrobing at some point or other. The film's strange twists are all quite enjoyable in a weird sort of way, especially the last two. It's the sort of film which will never be made again, and it's worth tracking down, although that could be quite a task. It received a limited video release many years ago and would surely now be ripe for a DVD rerelease. A film with a title as great as this one's certainly deserves some attention.
