(1973, dir: Robert Steiner)
“How do the flying acquaintances find fun? We’ll show you how!”
After being treated to the wonderful sights of 42nd Street, we meet Max (Jamie Gillis, Waterpower), a suave bank teller and his nubile friend Sylvie (Susan Curtis, Airplane) have a little of simulated fun, until some pesky aviation related stock footage interrupts. We find out that Max also moonlights as a taxi driver. After picking up a stewardess (Darby Lloyd Rains, The Private Afternoons of Pamela Mann) and working out a sweaty form of repayment once arrived at her apartment, turns out there’s a small group of stewardesses who offer fun under the sheets (or on the couch in this case) to avoid paying for their fare (it’s a win for everyone involved if you ask me!). Aside from this small corruption ring, we have the wonderfully chested Barbara (Nicole Vadim, Room 11...

Being that director Jack Clayton grew up with the misfortune of having no father figure, he grew up with a deep affinity for the Henry James novella he had read as a child called “The Turn of the Screw,” which features a pair of parentless siblings who endure not only the void left by their parents and their neglectful uncle, but the deaths of those most close to them in their governess Miss Jessel and their uncle’s valet, Peter Quint. Following the Academy attention getting success of his 1959 film Room at the Top, Clayton pursued the rights to “The Turn of the Screw” only to find that 20th Century Fox held them through the acquisition of William Archibald’s stage adaptation of the book, “The Innocents,” which he was happy to have his acquaintance Truman Capote adapt into a proper throwback southern gothic ghost story that subverted genre expectations...

A Ghost Story For Adults
By Raymond Benson
Under appreciated upon its original release in 1961, The Innocents is today considered one of the great film ghost stories. After all, it’s based on Henry James’ creepy The Turn of the Screw, a truly scary masterwork published in 1898. In the capable hands of Jack Clayton (fresh off his success with Room at the Top, which had been nominated for Best Picture and Best Director in 1959), the picture delivers a classic Gothic punch that is strange, beautiful, and, ultimately, powerfully disturbing. Faithful to the source material, the story is set in the Victorian era. The gorgeous and inimitable Deborah Kerr stars as a naive and, as it turns out, sexually repressed governess who is hired by an eccentric and secretive man (“The Uncle,” played by Michael Redgrave). She is to be a governess to his...

This week, the seventh edition of the Offscreen Film Festival in Brussels will start, undoubtedly one of the best 'genre' festivals in Europe. And their line-up this year is very much yummie. Radley Metzger is one of the guests of honor this year, and he will be giving a masterclass on nude cinematography. Also, they screen just about every film of his you can quickly name. Score, Misty Beethoven, Lickerish Quartet, Pamela Mann, Camille 2000... they're all there. Who isn't there is Ken Russell, as he died in 2011, but his filmography gets the same treatment here. It's hard to think of a film of his that isn't in the programme. Examples are: Tommie, Altered States, Lisztomania, Women in Love... even Lair of the White...

Four months after the announcement that Kate Moss would be joining British Vogue's staff as the new Contributing Fashion Editor, the supermodel's first shoot has debuted in the March issue. Moss hand-picked Ukrainian-Canadian model Daria Werbowy and photographer partners Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott—who most recently worked with Kate for her Playboy spread—for an edgy retro rock 'n' roll-inspired spread titled Cause Célèbre. As you can see, the look seems like it could have come straight from Moss' own closet, consisting of a plunging Saint Laurent dress, Caroline Amato leather gloves, Pamela Mann fishnets, and a two-tone, bedhead hairstyle. For the cover, the...

Today guys and girls we are going for something a little sophisticated and rather different from the usual smut out there. Today we are looking at what many consider to be the greatest adult films of all time. Ladies and gentlemen I present to you 1974′s fantastic The Private Afternoons Of Pamela Mann from the legendary Henry Paris a.k.a Radley Metzger (The Cat and The Canary, The Alley Cats) starring an all star cast such as Barbara Bourbon (Mondo Weirdo, A Dirty Western) in the starring role as Pamela Mann, Eric Edwards (Laura’s Toys, Great Sexpectations), Alan Marlow (Afternoon Delights, Rollerbabies), the fantastic Jamie Gillis (New Wave Hookers, Beverly Hills Cox), Marc Stevens (Devil In Miss Jones, Deep Throat II) and Georgina Spelvin (Bad Blood, Devil In Miss Jones) to name a few.
The film in a nutshell follows Eric Edwards playing as a private eye… a...
