HITLER’S LITTLE HELPER

Once upon a time in the Reich there was a sadist named Ilsa.


Ilsa la belva delle SS, as it was called in Italy, is better known as Ilsa: She Wolf of the SS, and it’s not hyperbole to describe this naziploitation effort as one of the most widely reviled movies ever released. And for good reason. It’s significant as an example of just how out there and taboo shattering the sexploitation genre got during the 1970s. The poster was painted by Luciano Crovato, who produced a number of iconic movie promos, including the second and third pieces in this post. We’ll get back to him. If you want to know more about Ilsa: She Wolf of the SS look here. If you dare.
