A Rather Complicated Girl

What Catherine Spaak is about to give Jean Sorel is a bit more complicated than a shot of J&B.

Verson Jetorix: “Jean Sorel becomes involved with artist Catherine Spaak, who is also involved with her stepmother, Florinda Bolkan, the administrator of her inheritance. Sorel eventually gets the idea that Bolkan should be removed from the picture but is he just being used? Damiano Damiani’s arty indictment of the upper-class flirts with giallo conventions but never attains the allure of the best examples. One for completionists.”

The Double

Double1

A little yacht J&B.

Double2

Drop whatever you’re doing and grab one of those bottles.

Double3

One for the lady and two for me.

Verson Jetorix: “Languid, agreeable giallo with a primo cast, nudity, murder, and good tunes.  In other words, beautiful shallow people drinking J&B in exotic locales; duplicitous and amoral – 70s Italian style.  Now for a presentation more respectful; a third generation dupe, cropped square with Greek subtitles, doesn’t cut it.”

Caroll minding her own business.

Quiet Place to Kill 2

C’mon, let’s gather ’round the J&B!

Quiet Place to Kill 3

Carol Baker drinks a lot of J&B in this movie – For reasons lost to us, she uses a glass.

Quiet Place to Kill 4

J&B with matching telephone.

Quiet Place to Kill 5

Jean Sorel’s choice is clear.

Verson Jetorix: “A prime slice of Euro-Hitchockian fun with a pill-popping, J&B-chugging Carroll Baker and a jailbait-fucking, murderous Jean Sorel. They make a great pair.”

Perversion Story

Nice, eh?

Verson Jetorix: “Jean Sorel, Marisa Mell, and Elsa Martinelli star in what must be considered one of the best, if not the best, of Fulci’s films. Visuals, music, and story blend into an enjoyable and satisyingly cohesive whole, for a change.”
