1973 Sweden / France erotic drama by Torgny Wickman, once cut by the BBFC, just released on US Blu-ray

Anita: Swedish Nymphet is a 1973 Sweden / France erotic drama by Torgny Wickman.
Starring Christina Lindberg and Stellan Skarsgård and Danièle Vlaminck.
BBFC cuts were required for X rated cinema release in 1974 and then again for 18 rated VHS in 1987. The film was BBFC 18 rated for 2008 DVD without BBFC cuts. The film exists in 3 versions, the original Swedish version, a French version
and reportedly a US version with hardcore inserts. The film was once banned in Norway and New Zealand.
Summary Reviews: Cult Star Cult star Christina Lindberg stars as Anita, a 16-year-old
girl (played by a 22-year-old) who has to have sex and it doesn't matter with who. She picks up lawyers, junkies, little boys, drunks or even the homeless. Her sexual behavior gets her kicked out of towns but one day she meets a doctor who thinks he can
help her. Lindberg certainly deserves her cult status. She's certainly easy on the eyes but unlike a lot of erotic stars, she can also act and she brings a lot life to her character. This Swed ish picture is rather strange because
it's certainly a sexploitation title and the main goal is for the beautiful Lindberg to get naked every chance she gets but the overall tone of the movie is so serious that it's hard to have fun with the film. The two versions of
this film differ considerably; the french version has a logical plot evolution and is more sleazy than the Swedish version. The latter if more moral in tone and has an unlogical plot evolution; it also has less sex(y) scenes. In the Swedish version, the
plot line of the young students forming a classical music group is more elaborated (and dull). The french version focuses more on the nymphmaniac addiction.
US: Uncut and MPAA Unrated for:
- 2025 Klubb Super 8 Standard Edition [Swedish Version + French Version] (RA) Blu-ray at US
Amazon #ad released on 26th August 2025
Promotional Material Christina Lindberg (Thriller - A Cruel Picture) is ANITA, a teenage nymphomaniac who feels compelled to seduce every man she meets; students, hippies, businessmen and bums. After
being rescued from a particularly dirty old man by a psychology student Erik (played by a young Stellan Skarsgård decades before he starred in Hollywood films like Pirates of the Caribbean, and also played a very similar character in Lars von Triers
Nymphomaniac), he attempts to uncover the causes of Anitas aberrant behavior. Directed by one of Swedens most significant sexploitation filmmakers, Torgny Wickman (The Language of Love), this cult classic uses a serious study of nymphomania as a
pretext for scorching eroticism. Presented in a new 4K restoration of its original Swedish version as well as a new 2K scan of Les impures, the French theatrical version, a different edit featuring an abundance of exclusive sex and nudity!

The Beast and the Vixens is a 1974 US comedy horror by Ray Nadeau
Starring Jacqueline Giroux, Uschi Digard and Marius Mazmanian
Produced with 2 significantly different versions, a horror version titled The Beast
and the Vixens, and a sex version titled The Beauties and the Beast. Later a composite version was assembled.
Summary Notes Girls in a nudist camp are terrorized by an Abominable
Snowman-type beast.
US: Uncut and MPAA Unrated for:
- 2025 Dark Force Entertainment Composite Version (RA) Blu-ray at US Amazon #ad released on
19th August 2025
Promotional Material It's retro Drive-In mania at it's finest with this rare 1974 exploitation flick The Beast and the Vixens (also known as 'Desperately Seeking Yeti'
and originally titled 'The Beauties and the Beast'). Shot on location in Big Bear Lake in California, "The Beast and the Vixens" is a fun filled romp about Bigfoot-like beast terrorizes women in the woods as criminals and hippies clash
in this wild blend of sex, horror, and 1970s sexploitation. This adult Drive-In cult classic had two versions released including an X-rated one showing off countless nude women including Swedish bombshell Uschi Digard (remembered from Russ Meyer's
CHERRY, HARRY & RACHEL)! The Beast/Yeti creature is straight out of B-MOVIELAND and bears a striking resemblance to the Gargantuas in the Japanese monster classic WAR OF THE GARGANTUAS. With only a prior VHS release, the original negative for this
picture had been long lost, however Dark Force Entertainment located the only surviving 35mm prints (with some extra reels from the shorter adult film version) and completed a new 2K scan of the original horror version with added soft core scenes for the
first time ever Hi-Def Blu-ray release of THE BEAST AND THE VIXENS. Bonus Materials
- DARK FORCE 'SAVAGE TRACKS' AUDIO COMMENTARY SERIES: VOL. 1 featuring Label heads: The Demon (DARK FORCE), Joe Rubin (VINEGAR SYNDROME) & David Gregory (SEVERIN) and more!

1973 BBFC cinema cuts list added

The Long Goodbye is a 1973 USA crime mystery thriller by Robert Altman.
With Elliott Gould, Nina van Pallandt and Sterling Hayden.
Cut by the BBFC for an X rated 1973 cinema release but uncut on home video.
Uncut and R rated in the US. Promotional Material When private eye Philip Marlowe (Elliott Gould) is visited by an old friend, this sets in train a series of events in which he s hired to search for
a missing novelist (Sterling Hayden) and finds himself on the wrong side of vicious gangsters. So far so faithful to Raymond Chandler, but Robert Altman s inspired adaptation of the writer s most personal novel takes his legendary
detective and relocates him to the selfish, hedonistic culture of 1970s Hollywood, where he finds that his old-fashioned notions of honour and loyalty carry little weight, and even his smoking (universal in film noir) is now frowned upon.
Widely misunderstood at the time, The Long Goodbye is now regarded as one of Altman s best films and one of the outstanding American films of its era, with Gould s shambling, cat-obsessed Marlowe ranking alongside more outwardly
faithful interpretations by Humphrey Bogart and Robert Mitchum.
