N.p. Eve Productions, 1964. Vintage studio still photograph from the 1964 sexploitation film.

The first of Russ Meyer's "noir" cycle (1964-1965), sexploitation films shot in black-and-white, featuring powerful psycho-sexual female characters, male impotence, and a serious dramatic plot, involving less of the "nudie" filmmaking style so prominent in the director's early films.

"Lorna," a voluptuous, sexually unfulfilled newlywed, becomes sexually awakened after being raped by an escaped convict while she is skinny-dipping in a river, and proceeds to invite the convict into her home while her husband is out working in the salt mines.

10 x 8 inches. Near Fine.
