Writer

Producer of “adult movies” kills one of his actresses (Mary Woronov who also starred in Secrets of a Chambermaid) in front of the camera. Her friend and lover swears revenge. What shoulda been low grade sleaze is elevated by good acting by the two leading ladies (Mary Woronov, especially) and a totally slimy performance by George Shannon. I especially loved the groovy early 70’s wardrobes and furnishings.
