Shot back to back with 'Emanuelle In Prison' 'Violence In A Woman's Prison' is along the lines of 'The Concrete Jungle' and such other caged delights. Laura Gemser plays yet another Emanuelle a reporter who goes to prison undercover on trumped up charges to expose the corruption within the prison and to secure a scoop about the bad conditions run by sadistic warden Lorraine De Selle. Naturally the place is a hellhole. Gemser bares her fabulous body has sex with Gabrielle Tinti dumps a bucket of faeces on a guard and spends time in the hole where she is devoured and chewed on by hungry rats! Extremely kinky as expected with Mattei managing to stage a somewhat bizarre art rape-scene which looks like something from a Tinto Brass movie where the warden and her lover gets horny while watching a girl being raped and beaten up by male inmates (oh yes there are male inmates here too!). Lorraine De Selle is great as the evil warden and there's another loud great soundtrack by Luigi Ceccaralli.

He knew he had a long swift sword... and he knew exactly how to use it! The comic escapades of a lusty 18th century rogue come alive in this hysterical comedy action film from the director of Bronx Warriors and Inglorious Bastards Enzo G. Castellari.

A hilarious adventure with a twist!
Set around a London bus depot, On the Buses starred Reg Varney as Stan, an ageing bachelor and driver of the No.11 bus who still lives with his Mum (Doris Hare), his plain sister Olive (Anna Karen) and disgruntled brother-in-law Arthur (Michael Robbins). At work, he fraternises with the laddish and lecherous Jack (Bob Grant), with whom he pursues innumerable (and improbable) giggly, mini-skirted "clippies" (conductors) and cheeks the beady-eyed and punctilious bus inspector, Blakey (Steven Lewis) Despite its immense popularity, On the Buses hasn't dated well. Like the buses themselves, the jokes don't arrive very often and when they do, they're visible a long way off. The studio audience whoops cathartically at anything remotely alluding to sex--even a bared male nipple--making you wonder at the repressed nature of British society in 1969. In later decades it would come to be treasured as somewhat creaky kitsch by audiences nostalgic for an age of politically incorrect innocence. On the DVD: On the Buses has no extra features here. The original black and white versions have scrubbed up reasonably well, although defects such as fading sound and poor dubbing have proven beyond amendment. --David Stubbs
American actor Alex Nicol heads the cast of this 1954 British crime melodrama The Gilded Cage.

A Tempean production directed by John Gilling produced by Robert S. Baker and Monty Berman responsible for the TV adventure series The Saint.
This 1943 version of Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre was made just two years after Citizen Kane, and it certainly looks like star Orson Welles muscled his way behind the camera much of the time. (In fact, co-star Joan Fontaine--who plays the title character--has maintained that Welles methodically did just that every day on the set.) Not that the film's official director was a hack: Robert Stevenson gets the credit, a man who later had a busy career at Disney making numerous live-action hits such as Mary Poppins. But there's no mistaking Welles' masterful hand in this film's bold and creative look, and there's no getting away from his enigmatic charisma as Rochester, the widower who takes in Jane as a governess to his daughter. An engrossing, gorgeous film, there's even a small role for Elizabeth Taylor at the beginning as Jane's unlucky, doomed friend at a cruel boarding school. --Tom Keogh, Amazon.com
