Eolo Capritti emerged in the 1970s Italian cinema scene, contributing to the cult film landscape with his performances in Frankenstein '80 (1972) and The Bloodstained Shadow (1978). He often found himself in roles that traversed the realms of horror and erotic thrillers, exemplifying the bold narratives characteristic of the era. In Private House of the SS (1977), Capritti's portrayal adds a layer of intrigue to the film's controversial themes, solidifying his status as a notable figure in exploitation cinema.
Dr. Jekyll Likes Them Hot
A lusty young woman decides to use her sexual powers to “tame” the evil and murderous Dr. Jekyll. Actress Edwige Fenech and the Italians made A LOT of screwball sex comedies in the 70’s. Generally though, they were more successful(internationally, at least) at bedroom farce-type stuff as opposed to parodies like this. To be fair though, the English-language version of this is saddled with bad dubbing, horrid music (which may or may not have been in the Italian-language version), and an inappropriate English-title, “Dr.Jeckyl Likes ’em Hot”, which suggests a much more sex-saturated movie. Still, as European horror movie parodies go this is not as good as Lucio Fulci’s “Young Dracula”, it’s about the same as Armando Crispino’s “Frankenstein All”Italia”, but it’s significantly better than “Dracula Blows his Cool”.
