Category Ralph Bakshi — The Movie Database (TMDb) Report Biography Ralph Bakshi (born October 29, 1938) is an American director of animated and live-action films. In the 1970s, he established an alternative to mainstream animation through independent and adult-oriented productions. Between 1972 and 1992, he directed nine theatrically released feature films, five of which he wrote. He has been involved in numerous television projects as director, writer, producer and animator. Beginning his career at the Terrytoons television cartoon studio as a cel polisher, Bakshi was eventually promoted to director. He moved to the animation division of Paramount Pictures in 1967 and started his own studio, Bakshi Productions, in 1968. Through producer Steve Krantz, Bakshi made his debut feature film, Fritz the Cat, released in 1972. It was the first animated film to receive an X rating from the Motion Picture Association of America, and the most successful independent animated feature of all time. Over the next eleven years, Bakshi directed seven additional animated features.

He is well known for his fantasy films, which include Wizards (1977), The Lord of the Rings (1978) and Fire and Ice (1983). In 1987, Bakshi returned to television work, producing the series Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures, which ran for two years before it was canceled due to complaints from a conservative political group over perceived drug references. After a nine-year hiatus from feature films, he directed Cool World (1992), which was largely rewritten during production and received poor reviews. Bakshi returned to television with the live-action film Cool and the Crazy (1994) and the anthology series Spicy City (1997). He founded the Bakshi School of Animation and Cartooning in 2003. During the 2000s, he has focused largely on painting. He has received several awards for his work, including the 1980 Golden Gryphon for The Lord of the Rings at the Giffoni Film Festival, the 1988 Annie Award for Distinguished Contribution to the Art of Animation, and the 2003 Maverick Tribute Award at the Cinequest Film Festival.

Based on the comic strip of the same name by Robert Crumb, the film was the first animated feature film to receive an X rating in the United States. It focuses on Fritz (voiced by Skip Hinnant), an anthropomorphic feline in mid-1960s New York City who explores the ideals of hedonism and sociopolitical consciousness. The film is a satire focusing on American college life of the era, race relations, the free love movement, and left- and right-wing politics. Fritz the Cat is the most successful independent animated feature of all time, grossing over $90 million worldwide.

The Nine Lives of Fritz the Cat is a 1974 American adult animated comedy film directed by Robert Taylor. It features a series of drug-induced vignettes both related and unrelated to life in the 1970s. Starring Skip Hinnant as the voice of the titular feline protagonist, the film is a sequel to Fritz the Cat, the first animated film to receive an X rating in the United States. Unlike its predecessor, Nine Lives received an R rating. Cool World is a 1992 American live-action/animated fantasy film directed by Ralph Bakshi, and starring Kim Basinger, Gabriel Byrne and Brad Pitt. It tells the story of a cartoonist who finds himself in the animated world he thinks he created, and is seduced by one of the characters, a comic strip vamp who wants to be real. Cool World marked Bakshi's return to feature films after nine years. The film was originally pitched as an animated horror film about an underground cartoonist who fathers an illegitimate half-real/half-cartoon daughter, who hates herself for what she is and tries to kill him.

Wizards is a 1977 American animated post-apocalyptic science fantasy film about the battle between two wizards, one representing the forces of magic and one representing the forces of industrial technology. It was written, produced, and directed by Ralph Bakshi. Wizards is notable for being the first fantasy film made by Bakshi, who was previously known only for urban films such as Fritz the Cat, Heavy Traffic and Coonskin. It grossed $9 million theatrically from a $1.2 million budget, and has since become a cult classic. Fire and Ice is a 1983 American animated adventure-fantasy film directed by Ralph Bakshi. The film, a collaboration between Bakshi and Frank Frazetta, was distributed by 20th Century Fox, which also distributed Bakshi's 1977 release, Wizards. The animated feature, based on characters Bakshi and Frazetta co-created, was made using the process of rotoscoping, in which scenes were shot in live action and then traced onto animation cels. The screenplay was written by Gerry Conway and Roy Thomas, both of whom had written Conan stories for Marvel Comics.

Background painter was James Gurney, the author and artist of the Dinotopia illustrated novels. Thomas Kinkade also worked on the backgrounds to various scenes. Heavy Traffic is a 1973 American adult animated comedy-drama film written and directed by Ralph Bakshi. The film, which begins, ends, and occasionally combines with live-action, explores the often surreal fantasies of a young New York cartoonist named Michael Corleone, using pinball imagery as a metaphor for inner-city life. Heavy Traffic was Bakshi and producer Steve Krantz's follow-up to the successful and coolly controversial film Fritz the Cat, the first animated feature to receive an X rating. Though producer Krantz made varied attempts to produce an R-rated film, Heavy Traffic was given an X rating by the MPAA. The film received positive reviews and is widely considered to be Bakshi's biggest critical success. Coonskin is a 1975 American live action/animated crime film written and directed by Ralph Bakshi, about an African American rabbit, fox, and bear who rise to the top of the organized crime racket in Harlem, encountering corrupt law enforcement, con artists, and the Mafia.

The film, which combines live-action with animation, stars Philip Thomas, Charles Gordone, Barry White, and Scatman Crothers, all of whom appear in both live-action and animated sequences. BONUS DISC: American Pop is a 1981 American animated musical drama film starring Ron Thompson and produced and directed by Ralph Bakshi. It was the fourth animated feature film to be presented in Dolby sound. The film tells the story of four generations of a Russian Jewish immigrant family of musicians whose careers parallel the history of American popular music.

 and sunbathe nude; her throat was ripped out by Bluebeard's pet falcon as she reclined back and he commanded "Strike!" Greta (Karin Schubert), wrapped naked in a red sash which was spun to reveal her body; she was shot and 'accidentally' killed during the hunt of a wild boar (shown near the beginning of the film and then later, in flashback) To buy time from being killed herself as the next victim by dawn, Anne convinced mass-murdering killer Bluebeard, who had also mummified his dead mother, to tell his wives' life/death stories - a series of vignettes in flashback - to free his soul.

He revealed that he had been forced to kill each of them because they were about to make love to him, and he couldn't face the fact that he was impotent. When Anne explained that Bluebeard was mother-fixated, she bared her breasts to him - and he turned away, proving her point. The film concluded with Bluebeard dead from gunshot, and Anne freed from the freezer vault. The Prostitute (Joey Heatherton) Boxcar Bertha (1972) After making a few short films and documentaries, Italian-American director Martin Scorsese's first Hollywood feature film (his second film) was the low-budget Roger Corman-produced film released by AIP. With $600,000 as the film's budget, he was instructed to make an exploitation film, and he lived up to expectations by providing liberal amounts of nudity and violence, and a number of cinematic trick shots and editing techniques. The film's poster announced: "America in the 30s was a free country.

Bertha was jes' a little bit free'er than most." The Bonnie-and-Clyde like road film was set during the Depression-era 1930 in the South, and loosely adapted the autobiography of the real-life title character in anarchist Ben Reitman's 1937 book Sister of the Road: The Autobiography of Boxcar Bertha. It told of the plight of 16 year-old tomboyish Arkansas farm girl Bertha Thompson (Barbara Hershey). After her father Jack died in a mechanically-faulty crop-dusting plane crash, she fled on a railroad boxcar, thus acquiring her nickname, and joined up with labor union organizer "Big Bill" Shelly (David Carradine, Hershey's real-life lover at the time). Both with rebellious natures, Bertha allowed herself to be seduced and devirginized in the boxcar. [Note: They both claimed the sex scenes weren't simulated.]. Bill's radical goal was to fight the railroad bosses and unionize Reader Rail Road.

After a series of transient adventures, one of which involved the murder of a bigoted, cheating Southern lawyer during a card game, she helped Bill escape from a railroad chain gang after he had been arrested for inciting violence. They became fugitives from the law after robbing a train and reluctantly took to a life of crime. Bill was imprisoned and severely beaten for his past unionizing efforts, while Bertha was forced to become a prostitute. They had one final reunion in a shack, where they experienced one more bittersweet reunion, before they were both discovered and viciously beaten. In the climactic, symbolic bloody ending, Bill was crucified with his hands nailed to the side of a boxcar. Bertha Cabaret (1972) Bob Fosse's musical was the first one ever to be given an X rating (although later re-rated) with its numerous sexual flings (including bisexuality, homosexuality and abortion) and hedonistic club life.

Set in a decadent early 1930s Berlin cabaret club, the Kit-Kat Club (with perverse stage shows), it told of a threesome love triangle between: American singer Sally Bowles (Liza Minnelli), seductive and wildly reckless, and wearing anti-androgynous costumes on stage Brian Roberts (Michael York), a reserved and naive academic Ph.D student, an English language teacher, a bi-sexual Maximilian von Heune (Helmut Griem), a rich and suave aristocratic, married playboy (also bisexual) When Brian was a tenant in the boarding room apartment with Sally and shared one of her rooms for tutoring lessons, she attempted to seduce him. Sally asked a disinterested, platonic Brian as she placed his hand on her breast: Sally: Doesn't my body drive you wild with desire? Doesn't it? Brian: It's a very nice body. Sally: Do you really think so, darling? It does have a certain kind of style. I mean, look, it's very flat here, not much hips, and here (she moves his hand to her breast) Brian: It's a little early in the day for this sort of thing, isn't it?

Sally: (caustically wondering) Maybe you just don't sleep with girls. (pause and no reply) Oh, you don't. Well, listen, we're practically living together, so if you only like boys, I mean, I wouldn't dream of pestering you. Well, do you sleep with girls or don't you? Although reluctant to discuss such matters, Brian admitted: "I do not sleep with girls. Let me be absolutely accurate." He then confessed how he was unlucky with three previous attempts at heterosexual sex - all were disastrous ("The word for my sex life now is 'nil,' or as you Americans would say, 'plenty of nuttin'"). She asked: "Why didn't you tell me in the first place?" They decided to continue to remain best friends, albeit platonic (Sally: "And friends are much harder to find than lovers. Besides, sex always screws up a friendship, anyway, if you let it. So we won't let it"). She suspected that he was gay, but eventually they became lovers. They began kissing, became romantic, and ended up making love in bed.

She reminded Brian: "Maybe those three girls were just the wrong three girls." He asked: "Doesn't my body drive you wild with desire?" There was also the infamous threesome weekend drinking scene when the trio were slowly dancing together in the living room of Maximilian's palatial country estate. While they were in a circle in each other's arms, the record stopped with a potent silence. Later, during an argumentative quarrel, Sally accused Brian of being extremely jealous of Max ("he's everything that you're not") - "rich...suave...and divinely sexy." Sally: "He really appreciates a woman." Brian: (exasperated) "Oh, screw Maximilian!" Sally: "I do." Brian: (after a pained laugh, pause and smile) "So do I." Sally: "You two bastards!" Brian: "Two. Two?! Shouldn't that be three?!" Brian's bi-sexuality was revealed, and both of them were having shared sexual relations. Max enjoyed sexual dalliances with both Sally and Brian, and they had both betrayed each other.

Sally Bowles "Do you sleep with girls,or don't you?" Threesome Are the Findings of Doctors and Clinics Who Do Sexual Research and Experiments Accurate? Frenzy (1972) This tawdry yet suspenseful thriller was the first Alfred Hitchcock R-rated film (and his second-to-last film) - it also was the first and only Hitchcock film to contain nudity (although unnecessary to the plot and somewhat awkward). In the opening sequence, a nude female corpse - another victim of the 'necktie strangler' - floated in the Thames River as spectators watched and a politician spoke about pollution. Also nudity (a body-double's breast) was seen during the vicious and agonizing necktie strangulation-rape scene of ex-Mrs. Brenda Margaret Blaney (Barbara Leigh-Hunt). When she begged for her life, the serial killer Bob Rusk (Barry Foster) tore off her dress and bra (exposing one breast), screamed at her: "Love me!...Women - they're all the same", and then revealed that he was the notorious Necktie Killer. After a lengthy struggle, she was left dead with her twisted tongue hanging out.

Frenzied Necktie Strangulation of Brenda (Barbara Leigh-Hunt) In the final scene set in Rusk's apartment bedroom, framed murderer Richard "Dick" Blaney (Jon Finch) had fled there after escaping from prison to kill Rusk. He beat a figure under bedclothes (thinking it was Rusk) with a crowbar, until he realized that the body belonged to an anonymous nude female (Susan Travers) (another strangulation victim murdered earlier off-screen, with contorted features: rolled-back eyes and a curved tongue) when her arm with bracelets dangled off the side of the bed. [Note: It was highly likely that the same actress, Susan Travers, also appeared in the film's opening, floating face-down in the Thames River as the first seen "Necktie" victim.] Chief Inspector Oxford (Alec McCowen) found Blaney at the scene - now fully implicated, but then heard someone lugging a large trunk up the stairs. They remained quiet as necktie murderer Bob Rusk was tricked into being apprehended (with the damning evidence - a nude victim - in his own bed) after entering. Oxford noted to Rusk: "Mr.

Rusk, you're not wearing your tie." First Seen Necktie-Strangulation Victim Fritz the Cat (1972) Ralph Bakshi's explicit animation feature was based on R. Crumb's underground comic strip. The success of the film led to other X-rated animated films, such as Bakshi's own film Heavy Traffic (1973), and Dirty Duck (1974) (aka The Down and Dirty Duck) (with the tagline: "Wouldn't you like a good duck tonight?") This was the first major animated motion picture to receive an X rating - with its naked characters, orgies, drug use, and foul language - among cartoon cats and creatures. it featured full-frontal nudity and animated sexual intercourse, but nothing explicit. In an early scene, as Fritz felt up a blonde female cat, he assured her: "You can help me. You must save me. By so doing, you too will be saved...You have a lovely set of eyes there.

Ah, little sweet one with your heart of gold, I know the place where we can be alone to join our souls in sacred truth..." He then invited all three female cats to join him in a walk-up apartment: "Together we shall all learn the real existential essence of the life force." In a bathtub, before having sex with all of them, he said: "Let's all get close together...Closeness and fulfillment of our hidden desires through which we reach the truth. Fulfillment is important, don't you think so, Winston?..Now I'm getting to the truth, I think, yes." The Last House on the Left (1972) Horror film director Wes Craven's second effort (and his first release as both a writer and director) resulted in this infamous, controversial, taboo-breaking and often revolting 'snuff'-type shock exploitation film. The notorious film was censored or severely edited for release.

It was about the relentless ordeal of two teenaged girls: Mari Collingwood (Sandra Cassell), a 17 year-old birthday girl Phyllis Stone (Lucy Grantham) In the film's opening scene under the credits, Mari was showering, preparing to go out with Phyllis and search for pot while on their way to a Blood Lust concert. They were apprehended and kidnapped by a sadistic group of escaped convicts led by Krug Stillo (David Hess), who first described himself to Phyllis: "You must think we're pretty stupid. No, hah! We ain't stupid. We might be, uhm, horny old pigs, but, uh, we ain't stupid." Phyllis' blouse was opened to expose her breasts, and then Krug punched her in the stomach and raped her (off-screen) as Mari watched in horror. In another disturbing and humiliating scene after they were taken to a woodsy area, blue-wearing Phyllis was forced to urinate with her clothes on ("Piss (in) your pants...Do it!"). The camera panned down, showing her wettened blue-jeans.

Then, they was stripped naked and forced to have oral sex with each other ("Make them make it with each other! Lezzies"). The girls went ahead, rationalizing: "lt's just you and me here. Nobody else. Just you and me, okay?" When Krug left for awhile, Phyllis was allowed to put her clothes back on, and then whispered to Mari: "I'm gonna make a run for it." Phyllis made a run for it, but was cornered, and stabbed in the back by Fred "Weasel" Podowski (Fred Lincoln). Phyllis (Lucy Grantham) and Mari (Sandra Cassell) - Their Ordeal in the Woods After repeated stabbings, Phyllis was dis-emboweled and butchered, after which psychopathic, sadistic gang member Sadie (Jeramie Rain) reached in and pulled out her gooey intestines to examine them. Phyllis' left hand and half of her forearm were amputated (off-screen). Red-wearing Mari was next - she had Krug's name carved into her upper chest and was then brutally raped (as he drooled onto her face).

She vomited and then walked dazedly into a nearby pond to half-submerge and cleanse herself. Krug shot and killed her there, and she floated on the water's surface. Later in an act of vengeful oral castration, Mrs. Collingwood (Cynthia Carr) - one of the girls' mothers - fellated gang member "Weasel" (who had his hands tied behind his back). After he boasted: "I can come five or six times if you want me to," she then viciously bit off his penis as he was climaxing. Mari (Cynthia Carr) Last Tango in Paris (1972/1973, It./Fr.) (aka Ultimo tango a Parigi) Director Bernardo Bertolucci's film was a landmark, controversial erotic film that received an X-rating, due mostly to the fact that the film featured a major star who had sex throughout the entire movie. Brando and director Bertolucci were both nominated for Oscars in the highly-acclaimed and debated cinematic work. In 1974, it became the first film to be prosecuted under Britain's Obscene Publications Act.

The film was available in a censored R-rated version in 1981 (with modifications mostly to the anal-sex butter scene which was not in the original script), and as an uncut X-rated (or NC-17) version. [When re-released in 1997, the MPAA re-rated the film as NC-17.] It told about a distraught, confused, grieving widower and middle-aged, overweight American exile Paul (Marlon Brando) who plunged into a sado-masochistic, sex-crazed, physical (yet impersonal and basically anonymous) relationship after his wife's suicide. He met up with young, big-breasted 20 year-old Parisienne ingenue Jeanne (Maria Schneider), a proper bourgeois female who was engaged to be married, but nonetheless acted in a carefree manner and accepted his prurient sexual demands. The film outraged some viewers for a full-body panning shot up Jeanne's body in an elevator, including a full-frontal closeup shot of Jeanne's pubic hair.

Also, it was notorious for its bathtub washing scene and the disturbing and explicit anal sodomy scene on the floor using butter as a lubricant during intercourse (with his command: "Go get the butter"). His emphasis was on pure sex, basically anal - a reversal of conventional romantic love. Controversial Scenes in Bertolucci's Last Tango in Paris The Butter Scene Jeanne (Maria Schneider) Later in a similarly-shocking scene, Paul reciprocated by letting Jeanne penetrate him anally with two fingers ("Put your fingers up my ass") - part of his objective to "look death right in the face...go right up into the ass of death... till you find the womb of fear." His set of rules was notable for the time: "We are going to forget everything we knew - everything." Then, she abandoned the apartment, and when he found her on the street, she didn't want to see him again, but by that time, he had fallen in love with her. He shattered the anonymous nature of their relationship by describing his life. The film ended when he chased her through the streets and pursued her into her mother's Parisian apartment.

He playfully donned her late father's Army cap (he was a colonel in French North Africa). When he removed it and confessed his love for her, she was horrified and fearful. He met a violent death on the balcony when she shot him with her father's Army pistol. Jeanne (Maria Schneider) with Paul (Marlon Brando) Pink Flamingos (1972) Director John Waters, dubbed "The Prince of Puke," produced a unique crop of intentionally bizarre, crude, sexually-grotesque, and bad taste-laden cult films with eccentric oddball characters and harshly-vivid language. See also Waters' Female Trouble (1974). His gross-out, unrated (NC-17) seminal film Pink Flamingos was about an unusual transvestite trailer park matron-diva named Babs Johnson (played by Divine). In the climactic ending scene, she literally ate real (and fresh) dog feces (termed coprophagia) in a competition to become the 'World's Filthiest Person Alive' - among other things.

Other shocking and perverse sequences included: the feeding of eggs to Babs' overweight mentally-retarded mother (Edith Massey) who lived in a play-pen and dressed like a baby the revelation of a transexual's (Elizabeth Coffey, credited as "Chick with a Dick") genitals in an outdoor park to an elderly gentleman bestiality sex with live chickens crushed between Babs' delinquent son Crackers (Danny Mills) and Cookie (Cookie Mueller), as voyeuristic Cotton (Mary Vivian Pearce) looked on from a nearby trailer window the scene at Babs' birthday party in which a gay man (anonymous, uncredited as the "Singing Asshole") ascended onto a performance stage, laid down on his back with his legs in the air, and musically sang or 'lip-synched' to The Trashmen's "Surfing Bird" ("Mau-mau-mau") by flexing his anal sphincter!

the scene of Babs' oral incestual sex with Crackers the scene of a 'live homicide' - the shooting of the bound and gagged Marbles couple, in front of the media (l to r): (Edith Massey) and Babs (Divine) Trans-sexual Eating Dog Feces Savage Messiah (1972, UK) Flamboyant producer/director Ken Russell's R-rated unconventional, melodramatic biopic (one of many he directed in the 1970s) was loosely based on art collector H.S. Ede's 1931 biographical book of the same name, specifically a series of love letters. Taglines advertised the self-financed film: "Every man has a dream that must be realized, a love that must come true, a life that must not stop," and "All art is sex!" Set in Bohemian Paris and London of 1910-1915, it told about eccentric, struggling Vorticist French sculptor Henri Gaudier-Brzeska (Scott Antony).

He had been dubbed the "Savage Messiah" during his unorthodox, intense, and platonic relationship with Polish-born aspiring author Sophie Brzeska (Dorothy Tutin), 20 years his senior. They had met in Paris when he was only 18. He died tragically young when killed at age 23 in WWI when fighting against the Germans. One of Henri Gaudier's shapely and voluptuous models (fictionalized), with which he had an affair, functioned as his second 'muse' - enthusiastic suffragette Gosh Boyle (young Helen Mirren). In the scene in which she posed and appeared naked as he drew her, she was ascending and descending various staircases, an obvious allusion to Marcel Duchamp's famous 1912 painting, Nude Descending a Staircase. Boyle was the daughter of a wealthy army officer, who spoke of free love. She engaged in a conversation with him while climbing a staircase naked: Gosh: "Do you think I'm beautiful?" Henri: "You'll do." Henri: "Sexy? I thought that was a dirty word to you suffragettes." Gosh: "I'm bored with politics.

I want to be an artist." Henri: "Excellent. The world needs more artists, fewer politicians." Gosh: "All my lovers are poets." Helen Mirren (as Gosh Boyle) - Nude Descending a Staircase When it was suggested to her that she sleep with quarrymen rather than poets for a "much better ride," she responded: "I don't care what I do so long as it's creative. I want to leave something behind me that was never there before." As she descended another staircase, she mentioned that as a Virgo, she felt she was subject to "cosmic boredom." She enthusiastically proposed dancing naked at the exhibition "in the spirit of nature." Gosh Boyle (Helen Mirren) Slaughter (1972) This early 70s violent, fast-paced, action-blaxploitation film was directed by Jack Starrett (and AIP's Samuel Arkoff). The R-rated film was advertised with a word-play on the name of the title character: "It's not only his name. It's his business and sometimes -- his pleasure!" The film's posters proclaimed: "Jim Brown is 'Slaughter'." "The Fuzz had a warrant for him.

The Mob had a contract on him. All Slaughter had was a name -- but he sure lived up to it." According to an August 1972 Hollywood Reporter news-report, the highly successful grindhouse classic brought AIP "the biggest business in the 18-year history of the company." It was followed by the sequel Slaughter's Big Rip Off (1973), with Jim Brown reprising his title role. It starred ex-Green Beret Captain Slaughter (ex-pro football player Jim Brown), a Vietnam war hero who proclaimed himself as the "baddest cat ever walked the earth." Similar to the same era's Shaft (Richard Roundtree), Slaughter was a gun-toting, contemptuous, fast-driving black protagonist after both racist, Mafia mobsters and federal cops. He was seeking revenge for the car-bombing murder of his parents. Blonde 60's sex-pot Stella Stevens (January 1960 Playboy Playmate) co-starred in a small supporting role as Mafia mistress Ann Cooper, living in South America (although the film was shot in Mexico) with psychopathic, bigoted hit man Dominick Hoffo (Rip Torn), the most likely individual who murdered Slaughter's parents.

Ann (Stella Stevens) Startled When Emerging From the Shower She provided the requisite nudity when she emerged from a shower, and she eventually became studly Slaughter's love-interest (at first, she met him when ordered to gather information), when he was coerced to travel to 'South America' by the feds after a botched sting, to take on the Mob. He vowed to extricate her from Hoffo's powerful grasp (killing him in the film's conclusion after he confessed), and shared two inter-racial sex scenes with her. Amy (Stella Stevens) (Jim Brown) Street of a Thousand Pleasures (1972) (aka Arab Slave Market, or Dreams) This was a notorious X-rated sexploitation (called a "nudie cutie") film from the early 70s, directed by William Rostler (aka Clay McCord) and released by Harry Novak.

The film's subtitle was: "There's something in it for everyone." It also promised: "A Journey Through the Whispered World of Women." In the virtually plotless movie, American businessman/oil field geologist John Dalton (John Tull), during a trip to the Middle East away from his nagging wife in Los Angeles, rescued Arab sheik Abdul Ben Hassein from an assassination knife attack by shooting the assailant. He was rewarded with a trip to the spectacular "street of a thousand pleasures," where he was introduced to the slave market-harem filled with dozens of naked women functioning as sex servants. [Note: Some of the females included Uschi Digart - as Busty Slave Girl, pin-up girl Michelle Angelo - as Busty Girl with Apple, Joyce Mandel - as Busty Girl with Goblet, and many other un-credited beauties.] "Girl-A-Vision" He viewed scores of feminine treats with "Girl-A-Vision" (a hand-held camera presented his point of view from a hands-on perspective, often with enlarged close-ups of body parts). Bodies could be caressed or kissed, and eventually, John had brief sex with a few of the females, including a black belly dancer (Malta).

The film ended with another strike by the Arab assassin, who killed the sheik (having sex) by stabbing him to death, while nearby, John was also having sex. After wrestling with the assassin, John left the Middle East and returned home with a willing American slave slave. Virgin Witch (1972, UK) (aka Lesbian Twins) This unscary British satanic cult thriller was part of a 1970s trend in Europe to release sexploitation films regarding the occult. Its enticing taglines overplayed the film: "She's the girl with the power...to turn you on!...to turn you off!", "She'll blow your mind!", and "Her lust was innocence - her desires...evil!" The film's sole intent was a flimsy plotline designed to display as many perky breasts and bare buttocks as possible, and to titillate with lesbianism - and even the first shot in the film's opening credits was a side view of a naked breast.

Virgin Witch - Betty (Vicki Michelle) Sister Christine (Ann Michelle) The film featured two runaways (with two real-life sisters in the roles): Christine (Ann Michelle) Betty (Vicki Michelle), the younger sister In London, they answered an ad from a modeling agency, run by predatory head agent Sybil Waite (Patricia Haines). After Christine disrobed and was personally scrutinized and lustfully measured with a tape across her naked breasts and hips by Sybil, the two females were invited to a country mansion for a modeling audition photo shoot - supposedly an ad for cider. Lured there together, Christine was photographed around the lush grounds by photographer Peter, who suggested that she disrobe ("I'm trying to get an angle, take your jeans off") for some Garden of Eden shots. Soon, he had discarded his camera and was having sex with her next to a tree - spied upon from afar by Sybil. They discovered that Sybil was a lesbian high-priestess witch who managed a coven of witches, along with the owner of the Wychwold estate, Gerald Amberly (Neil Hallett).

Sybil was attempting to seduce both girls, and especially Christine (with employment, sleeping together, and a kiss). While taking a bath, Betty was spied upon through a peephole by Gerald. The two virgins were being prepared for an induction ceremony, and surprisingly, Betty was very eager to be inducted into the group during a sexualized midnight ritual. She was stripped, oiled up and led to the altar, where she was deflowered by a masked Gerald. In the film's final twist, the un-innocent Christine revealed her own supernatural ESP-psychic powers to turn the tables and take over leadership of the coven with her own ritual. She set a large headshot of Sybil on fire -- and as it was set ablaze, Sybil's facial expression became pained. Predatory Sybil Waite Watch Fritz the Cat (1972) online.

Amazon details Advertised as "X-rated and Animated," Fritz the Cat earned an impressive $25 million in 1972. Screenwriter-director Ralph Bakshi based the film on three of Robert Crumb's stories about a superficial college student who tried to seduce anything in a skirt. The gritty, often gross film shocked U.S. audiences accustomed to innocent flirtations and slapstick comedy in cartoons. Thirty years later, Fritz looks less shocking than puerile.

The violence grafted onto Crumb's innocent stories feels gratuitous, and the racial imagery tasteless. As dated as a Nehru jacket, the film will interest students of animation history and American pop culture. Crumb detested the film: he drew Fritz as a decadent Hollywood star, who was exploited by caricatures of Bakshi and producer Steve Krantz--and murdered by a bitter ex-girlfriend.

First things first, Fritz the Cat was the first animated feature film to receive an X-rating in the U.S. (so you know it’s good). It is also based on legendary cartoonist Robert Crumb’s comic strip but he infamously objected over the film’s political content. Fritz the Cat centers around an anthropomorphic college-aged and sex obsessed cat named Fritz who romps through New York during the 1960s exploring hedonism and sociopolitical consciousness. It covers everything from Black Panthers to Hell’s Angels, race relations, free love, and drugs. As far as adult oriented animations, this one is the best!
