Banned by the BBFC for 1974 cinema release but was released in a presumably cut X rated version in 1976.

Summary Review: Music Videos and Porn

Billed as: A Risqué Walk Down Memory Lane.

A large proportion of the film consists of soundies - short black & white films made for an early kind of video jukebox . So we get to see Fats Waller doing the title song, for instance. But there are also pieces from sound shorts, and features - an eclectic collection, from both sides of the Atlantic.

Interspersed between the musical numbers there are rather tame and clumsy vintage porn films. Surreal!

All Together Now is a 1970 US erotic drama by William Louis Allan
Starring Arianna, Thomas Baker and Robert Corder Melon Farmers link IMDb

Banned by the BBFC for 1970 cinema release.

Summary Notes

An early example of Cannon's arty softcore productions.

Marsha's immature, animalistic husband neglects and mistreats her. She is driven to embark on an affair with a romantic Frenchman, but this likewise ends unhappily. Floundering, she sets out to write a series of love and sex novels.

She consults a woman doctor who is considered an authority on the subject of sexuality, and the doctor promptly seduces her. She uses her experiences as the basis for her novels but is finally unable to continue writing; and she takes her own life.

Summary Review: Exploitation Classic...But...

The crazed brother of a condemned killer sent to the gas chamber swears vengeance on those he holds responsible for his brother's execution.

Great plot idea (man going insane over the wrongful death of his brother)- lousy deliverance.

Promotional Material

From writer/director Adrian Hoven, creator of the infamous MARK OF THE DEVIL, comes a rarely-seen EuroSleaze masterpiece packed with krimi depravity, mondo-style shocks and graphic gothic insanity. When a group of bourgeois swingers stumble upon the creepy castle of the cursed Earl of Saxon, they'll discover an unholy nightmare of sexual violence, bombastic philosophy, deranged performances, grisly medical experiments, inappropriate music cues and one very mad bear. A stellar cast of Jess Franco regulars including Janine Raynaud (SUCCUBUS), Howard Vernon (SHE KILLED IN ECSTASY) and Michel Lemoine (KISS ME MONSTER) star in this sumptuous platter of late '60s filthwürst.

...As the Naked Wind from the Sea is a 1968 Sweden/West Germany sex comedy romance by Gunnar Höglund.
With Hans Gustafsson, Lillemor Ohlsson and Barbro Hiort af Ornäs. Melon Farmers link BBFC link 2020 IMDb

Banned by the BBFC for 1969 cinema release. Released after cuts on VHS

Summary Review: Forgotten Gem

One Swedish Summer (which was the US title) is a forgotten gem from the days when skilled directors were at the helm of exploitation films, and while a fascinating viewing experience, it also serves to demonstrate just how thoughtless and pedestrian these kinds of films have become lately.

A handsome young male classical violinist experiences his sexual awakening one summer in the middle of teh Swedish nowhere.

One Swedish Summer boasts beautiful location photography as well as exquisitely beautiful music on the soundtrack, a combination of classical baroque and late 60's Europop. This is contrasted with close-up shots of female pubic regions, full-frontal male nudity, and several brushes with themes of voyeurism and sadomasochism.
