In June it was Jess Franco’s Jack the Ripper, July
yielded Barbed Wire Dolls and on Sept. 29 Full Moon Features returns
with the domestic DVD debut of cult filmmaker Jess Franco’s Blue
Rita.
Ten films are planned for eventual release during Full
Moon’s Jess Franco Collection promotion — all made in conjunction with
producer Erwin C. Dietrich — and with the release of this English-dubbed
version of Blue Rita (aka: Das Frauenhaus) Full Moon has
reached number three in the series.
This one has to be seen to be believed as it is a cross
between Cold War spy thriller, a torture dungeon horror flick and a kinky
soft-porn romp. However you describe
it, Blue
Rita is certainly pure Jess Franco.
Rita is both a lesbian and a communist agent, who runs a nightclub
in Paris, where the wealthy and influential flock. When she spots any wealthy male it is time
for seduction, torture and out-and-out thievery. But Interpol is on to her and her latest
lover, Sun (Dagmar Bürger), could be the key to bringing her lethal operation
to an end.
