Play Motel (Mario Gariazzo, 1979)
« on: 14 Oct 2007 - 16:09 »



After recently seeing Patrizia Webley and Enzo Fisichella grinding their crotches together in Andrea Bianchi's 'Malabimba' this week I thought I'd finally have a go at watching them in Gariazzo's film made the same year. An interesting cast in this one, though going by the reviews I've read of this they may be all in it for the pay packet! The copy I have is an English subtitled version of the hardcore edit, only trouble is, as usual, the image on this is pretty dire. I'm going suffer on through it though.

Anyone else managed to sit through this one? Some words of wisdom for me perhaps before I get stuck in?

For anyone who's interested in a taster check out the trailer below, worth a look just for Ray Lovelock's catchy theme tune  :-X

Never seen this, though the lobbycard reproduction in BLOOD AND BLACK LACE did catch my eye, more than once  :D

I have a bootleg VHS I bought from LFVW a few years back but it looks kind of shitty. Wish I could find a better-looking version. The film itself wasn't bad at all, its just too hard to appreciate it due to the bad quality of the copy. I remember buying this one along with their copy of URSULA'S SISTER which I enjoyed quite a lot.

More information on the film's releases, thanks to "gialloboy":

Quote
- Italian Softcore release on "Kineo"
- Italian Hardcore release on "New World of Video"
- Argentinean Softcore release on "Gema Video Home s.r.l." (In Italian with Spanish subtitles)




Below you can see the cover of the limited edition Greek DVD. Just don't get too excited. Its fullscreen, VHS quality, Italian-speaking and its the softcore version  ???

That Italian Hardcore release on "New World of Video" has an outstanding cover  ;)

Play Motel - Quicktime trailer


That's a a lovely trailer Johny? Where the hell did you find it?  :-\

Just realized this one was produced by Armando Novelli who also financed Fernando Di Leo's crime classics.

Marc did the trailer for me. He's got a screener VHS of the film and I'm presuming it's off that.

I don't suppose you've got a trailer for 'Il commissario di ferro' ?

I'm halfway through watching this and it's not as bad as i thought it would be. The picture quality is crap but the film on the whole is decent enough and the hardcore inserts are great!

Not a bad film really, quite an oddity, my overall impression is that's it's just too jolly! Fast paced disco music throughout peppered with hardcore sex scenes that are almost comedic, the old guy getting his rocks off by sticking a champagne bottle where his cock should have gone was pretty funny!

It's a thumbs up from me!  ::)

Be nice to see a better quality version though.

Just watched this film. What can I say? I really liked it!
Interesting plot, perfect music and songs of Lovelock and beautiful actresses. It's pure euro spleaze at its best.

I hope that somebody will release it on DVD...
