Depraved Portraits and Gorgeous Girls

Some original French stills from Massimo Dallamano's under-rated, Il Dio Chiamano Dorian. These feature lovely Swedish starlet Marie Liljedahl, who plays the heartrendingly sweet Sybil Vane, truly the emotional heart of a tale where she finds herself surrounded by corruption, depravity and decay. What a shame Liljedahl retired from acting at the early age of 21. Margaret Lee, Maria Rohm and Beryl Cunningham also lend their considerable charms to the proceedings. Helmut Berger is a fab modern Dorian.

Continental Film Review

Some lovely eurostarlets on the cover of the vintage Continental Film Review, a movie magazine 'for the aware audience.' Continental Film Review was a UK based magazine, with its first issue published in 1952, that started out as a serious film journal devoted to foreign releases, but with the relaxation of censorship during the 1960s and 1970s, it gradually focused more on elements of nudity and eroticism, and on the various nubile starlets, in the films of those eras. They paid considerable attention to European horror, giallo and various other continental subgenres. Featured on the covers here are Edwige Fenech, Nieves Navarro (Susan Scott), Marina Malfatti, (in a scene from La Notte che Evelyn usci dalla Tomba - 1971) Jane Birkin, Marie Liljedahl, Fabienne Dali and the lovely Françoise Pascal, known to fans for her appearances in Pete Walker's School for Sex (1968), Burke and Hare (1972), Jean Rollin's La Rose de Fer (1973) and Les Raisins de la Mort (1978), and as one of the orgy girls (uncredited) in Incense for the Damned (1972).
