When Carolina (Anicee Alvina), the daughter of wealthy banker Georges de Saxe (Philippe Noiret), is reported kidnapped, it is upsetting to him even though he knows it isn't true. The kidnappers have taken the wrong
person. The banker hires Frantz (Jean-Louis Trintignant) a disheveled, seedy detective to find his daughter and hide her safely away. She soon finds herself in a fantasy-land whorehouse, where all kinds of extreme perversions are routinely practiced.
There, a near-double of her father whips and then seduces her. Eventually, she and the private eye escape or leave, having extorted the kidnapping money from the girl's father.

Zeta One, Au Pair Girls, The Sex Thief From the era that also bought us the seedier Carry On films and the Confessions... movies there also came a run of other 'delightfully of their time' British sex comedies. This
beautifully presented set brings together three of those typically silly and salacious soft porn romps in Zeta One (1970), Au Pair Girls (1972) and The Sex Thief (1973). Combining elements of science fiction, crime and
plenty of smut these movies could only have sprung from that strangely odd time which fell somewhere between the dying sixties and the Deep Throat generation. Featuring an eclectic mix of talent including James Robertson Justice (Doctor in the House), Me
Me Lai (The Man from Deep River), Charles Hawtrey, (Carry on up the Jungle) and Diane Keen (Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush) these films are at least guaranteed to raise a smile if nothing else... Daring, daft and unspeakably naughty, here is a
threesome you'll never forget. | | |

Stanley Long's Adventures: A Seventies Sex Comedy Threesome is a film set by Stanley Long
Starring Barry Evans, Judy Geeson and Diana Dors There are no censorship issues with this release. UK: Passed
Suitable for 18 years and over uncut for:
- 2022 Powerhouse Films/Indicator Limited Edition R0 Blu-ray at UK Amazon #ad
released on 25th April 2022
Promotional Material Once dubbed the 'King of Sexploitation' by the tabloid press, Stanley Long was the godfather of the British sex film. Starting out with 8mm striptease reels in the 1950s before
moving into nudist documentaries, Long went on to produce and direct a string of extremely popular X-rated movies which told tales of wife swapping, groupies and other saucy goings on. He reached the pinnacle of commercial success with this trio of
incredibly successful 'on the job' sex comedies. Adventures of a Taxi Driver, starring sitcom actor Barry Evans, set the template with the antics of a cabbie who 'gets more than his fare share'. Securing international
distribution - as well as becoming the most successful comedy at the British box office in 1976 - it prompted two sequels, each featuring more of the same but with a different lead actor (future hit-record producer Christopher Neil).
Boasting supporting casts which burst with top-tier British acting talent - including Harry H Corbett (Steptoe and Son), Diana Dors (Berserk), Judy Geeson (Inseminoid), Suzy Kendall (To Sir, with Love), future musical theatre
sensation Elaine Paige, and former Doctor Who Jon Pertwee - the Adventures series represents British popular filmmaking at its most unashamedly cheeky." Extras "INDICATOR LIMITED EDITION BLU-RAY BOX SET
