The Shower #003

Lovely Sex Stars System image of a heroine in the shower, from Franco Prosperi's 1966, Tecnica di un Omicidio, an early polizieschi set in Paris and featuring a young Franco Nero. It is also known as Hired Killer in the US and Technique d'un Meurtre in France. Sex Stars System is a lovely vintage French magazine specializing in adult-oriented and genre films generally ignored by mainstream cinema.

Nudity and Eroticism in the Eurospy adventure #001

Some Continental Film Review images of Duccio Tessari's 1966, Kiss Kiss - Bang Bang,"which is not to be confused with "Kiss Kiss, Kill Kill," the uk title for the 1966 German-Italian eurospy co-production, "Kommissar X - Jagd auf unbekannt."

Tessari's movie features the lovely Nieves Navarro (Susan Scott) as beautiful but tough MI5 agent, Alina Shakespeare, here seen taking a shower with Giuliano Gemma watching...

The Shower #001: Sophie Hardy

Lovely Sophie Hardy as Elise, taking a shower in Rialto's 1964 Der Hexer, an enjoyable entry in the German series of Edgar Wallace Krimi adaptions. There is a glimpse of Ms. Hardy's breast, although this is not the first instance of nudity in the Rialto series, that honour goes to 1963's Zimmer 13.
