Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

The story has nothing but it its focus on a poor little girl escaped, sold to slavery and again back. This movie is not yet known to many who likes famous legendary cult director Lee Frost Not a big surprise why Lee Frost had picked this movie with nothing. The main attraction for BDSM/torture lovers in this movie is 20 min dungeon scene. 4 beautiful women including main actress stripped to nude, legs spread, put on torture rack and whipped. This scene looks almost looks real also including two un-credited co-stars Uschi Digard and Brigetter Maier. I believe this 20 min dungeon scene is edited version (cut version) of the original dungeon scene. I don't remember this movie has any theater release version. The only clue of the original full uncut version is with movie production company.

Directed by the legendary exploitation supreme, Lee Frost, this is much better than some have suggested. On the face of it, a rather slow soft core with a violent dungeon scene in the middle, this is so much more. Not only do we have a fabulous collection of over-sized wigs, some really fruity, posh English voices, plus a varied musical score that even includes Mozart and what sounded like Scarlatti, but we have almost constant nudity, a storyline and that dungeon scene. The movie is well paced, though may seem slow for those with one hand on the remote, and has some marvellous scenes. Ladies full length for '69' seems Frost's favourite here, but there is a great bath scene early on and some very impressive orgy scenes. Even apart form the aforementioned dungeon scene, there are plenty of Sadean references and indeed the young heroine could well have wandered into this from 'Justine'. The young innocent is taught the ways of love and then gradually introduced into more extreme variations culminating in the humiliation of performing for others, which, of course, she comes to enjoy. But before this and well before the 'into the sunset' happy ending there is that dungeon scene. However hyped, it is still impressive and at over 20 minutes no brief glimpse of sex and violence. Naked ladies all over the place, in cages, on racks and there is even an 'Iron Maiden'. For those who like to know, the lovely busty blonde whipped senseless by the crazy guy with an eye patch, is none other than the delectable, Uschi Digard. Well worth a watch, but be warned the torture scenes are pretty strong, if sexy at the same time!

This is an outstanding story to say the least. As a virgin, poor Cecily is seduced by the mistress of the house she works in. Exposed to nightly orgies, her narration of the circumstances sounds so innocent and sweet. Even in the dungeon scene her innocence is portrayed so well even up to her rape by 2 of the dungeon keepers. There is a test pattern taking place on my version of the film on VHS, I don't know if this was an attempt at censorship, or a recording glitch, it would be interesting to know if there is a directors cut out there, because it would be interesting to see, if the test pattern actually omitted real footage.....

The torture room scene in this movie is pretty amazing. A number of very beautiful women are put on the rack. Unfortunately, the VHS version available through Amazon UK seems to edit out the whole scene. There has to be the 'directors cut' out there.
