Julietta 69

N.p. N.p., 1979. Vintage borderless double weight color reference photograph of actress Lina Romay from the 1976 adult film. Labels affixed to versos, noting the film's French title. Rare.

A French sex film with a complicated history—even for Jess Franco. In Stephen Thrower’s "The Delirious Cinema of Jesus Franco: Volume Two," the author notes that Jess Franco's "Julietta 69" was completed and actually had a 1976 French cinema release before becoming inaccessible. It is further speculated that Franco sold "Julietta 69" to an Italian production company, and that D’Amato and Mattei were eventually commissioned by Franco Gaudenzi to make a much less coherent mashup titled "Justine and the Whip."

Note: erroneous manuscript annotations on the verso of the photograph refer to an unrelated film, "Les Grandes Jouisseuses."

9.5 x 7 inches. About Fine.
