70s sleazesoftcore melodramarural vs city

Overview

Drama

Denise is a beautiful country girl whose life is filled with joy and love for her handsome boyfriend, Freddy. But living in an idyllic existence soon bores her, and she is off to the big city to experience the glamour and glitz for herself. She meets Frank, a dashing nightclub owner who takes her under his wing. But she doesn't take kindly to the fact that she's just one of his stable of women and must choose between the big city life and her dreary farm life.

Standout Aspects

Production

Genuine European locations elevate the budget grime.

Costume

Forså's wardrobe screams 1975 aspirational fashion.

Best for:Solo: When you want vintage exploitation with actual plot.·Rewatch: Spotting Sarno's artsy touches between the sleaze.
Heads up:Sexual Content: Frequent softcore scenes; this is Sarno, not Sundance.
