Director: Hubert Frank
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
The virginal Vanessa - 'sexual plaything of lewd lechers', as the expensive bilingual publicity handout cheerfully announces - is in fact a putty-faced actress (an animated centrefold) whisked to Hong Kong for the usual wearisome round of softcore shenanigans. The fun includes a bout of love-making in a barn beneath a cascade of grain, and in conclusion, the devilish Diffring flaying our heroine with an understandably half-hearted lack of conviction.Author: JPy
