Sold for her father's debts, Cecily's journey spins from opulent captivity to dungeon depravity.
POOR CECILY
Cecily is a lovely young woman, so lovely in fact people can't help but be drawn to her beauty. This becomes a problem for the naive girl once her Uncle passes away and she is sold off to pay for his debts. Once living simple life of pleasure, Cecily becomes the object of pleasure once the people she encounters decide to make her their sexual goal.
Poor Cecily is a 1974 American drama film directed by Lee Frost about a young woman sold into slavery in Renaissance France to pay her father's gambling debts, who faces sexual exploitation and imprisonment as she seeks freedom.
Synopsis
With the excuse of a trespassing rap, the evil countess tries to use our hapless heroine for her own wicked ways. Cecily escapes, and hopes to purchase a boat ticket to America. Unfortunately for her, she is caught, arrested, and thrown into a dungeon where she is raped, whipped and tortured on the rack by fiendish witch-hunters! No longer able to stand it, she agrees to the corrupt prosecutor's condition to return to the countess, satisfying her every wish.
On the carriage ride to the countess' grounds, it seems she has to satisfy at least one of his wishes as well. She has little choice but to accept her fate as a sex slave, used by the countess' aristocratic friends at midnight orgies. When her "sentence" is up, she finds love in the arms of Anthony, a fellow sex slave - one of the very few who showed kindness to her.
