Trailer 341 of 464
It's hard to imagine today the impact this tawdry but fascinating Italian "shockumentary" had on the world in 1962, when the bizarre customs of people in other lands seemed both exotic and horrifying to Western eyes.

Does anyone besides me recall the Westworld tv series ??? It only lasted 3 episodes, what a hunk of junk !. .
oh man!. The Robert Youngson film compilations and the books of William k Everson are what got me interested in silent film in the 60s and early 70s...
