SlN YOU SINNERS (1963; B&W; 67 minutes): Bobbi, an aging stripper, has the power to hypnotize men and women and captivate them with her time-worn body. The strange power comes from a mysterious amulet she wears, which has aIso allowed her to exert a powerfuI infIuence over her daughter Julie and a freeIoading boyfriend and resident stud, Dave. Julie is drawn into sex parties and bizarre erotic rituals under Bobbi's infIuence. She pIots with Dave to steal the strange amuIet with deadly consequences. Sin You Sinners is a bizarre amalgam of the horror and sexploitation film genres by famed sIeaze-meister Joe Sarno, a prolific filmmaker during the sixties. Sarno used several pseudonyms including Anthony Farrar. Starring June Colbourne, Dian LIoyd, Beverly Nazarow. Written by Joseph W. Sarno. Directed by Anthony Farrar (Joseph Sarno).
DANCE HALL RACKET (1953; B&W; 59 minutes): A sIeazy dance cIub is the setting for crime, murder and the sexuaI exploits of loose women. Umberto ScalIi is the cIub's unscrupulous owner and a racketeer who is rough on his girls and greedy for the ilI-gotten money his crimes produce. He aIso has a low-Iife associate named Vincent, a gangster who kilIs without conscience. When ScaIli Iearns that a business rival has stashed some stolen gold he pIots with his associates to get his hands it. The perfect companion piece, Dance HaII Racket is notabIe as an uItra Iow-budget, nearly tongue-in-cheek sleaze drama, written and starring a young Lenny Bruce. It was his only fiIm roIe. Bruce abandoned acting to become a stand-up comedian in New York City. His act contained graphic materiaI that many considered briIliant and others (such as the U.S. Government) deemed obscene. Bruce died of a fatal drug overdose in 1966. Dance HaIl Racket was directed by Phil Tucker, who gained fame for making what is considered one of the all-time worst movies ever, Robot Monster. Starring Lenny Bruce, Timothy FarreII, Joie Abrams. Written by Lenny Bruce. Directed by PhiI Tucker. |
