Full Moon Features Restores Emmanuelle And The White Slave Trade And Emanuelle: Black Velvet For DVD And Blu-ray Releases On July 06

Full Moon Features, with sales and distribution support provided by MVD Entertainment, will be showcasing the talents of the sultry Laura Gemser in two of her starring roles as Emanuelle — Emanuelle and the White Slave Trade and Emanuelle Black Velvet.  Both remastered DVD and Blu-ray product offerings will be available on July 6.

In director Joe D’Amato’s uncut 1978 film release of Emanuelle and the White Slave Trade, Gemser’s Emanuelle is a photojournalist who is out to get an exclusive on a Mafia kingpin.   Instead, she stumbles upon a slave-trading operation run by the notorious Madame Claude (Gota Gobert) and decides to go “undercover” for an exclusive expose.   “Undercover” for Emanuelle can only be applied loosely.

In writer/director Brunello Rondi’s 1976 film release of Emanuelle: Black Velvet, world-famous model Emanuelle (Laura Gemser), who goes by simply “Laura,” heads to Egypt for a photo-shoot with her “boyfriend” Carlo (Gabrielle Tinti — Lisa and the Devil), an abusive sort with weird ideas about fashion model photography. 

They end up staying at Emanuelle’s mysteriously wealthy friend Crystal’s (Nieves Navarro — Death Walks at Midnight) estate, where Emanuelle soon finds herself falling under the sexual spell of Crystal’s daughter, Pina (Annie Belle — House on the Edge of the Park).   Carlo keeps himself busy with other pursuits.

The cut presented here is the extended European version of the film.
