We said we’d try to eradicate Laura Gemser’s awful 1977 sexploitation train wreck Emanuelle – Perché violenza alle donne? from our memories, but then we found these two U.S. promos above and figured we’d loop back to share them since the movie had its U.S. premiere this month in 1980. They’re basically identical except for length, and bear the film’s English title Emanuelle Around trhe World. You notice they tout the film’s x rating—“X has never been so beautiful.” But it has been so beautiful—in virtually any x-rated film of that era. This was a situation where explicit footage—not of Gemser—was added after the fact. That usually makes for a disjointed mess, and it did the same here. Enjoy the posters, but don’t watch the film. There are better cheap thrills out there.
Around the world in eighty lays.
