The Playgirls and the Vampire...Greetings, Terence!<br /><br />The Playgirls and the Vampire is interesting for being one of the first of its kind and is enjoyable when you’re in the right mood. Its dance scene is a joke in comparison to TVatB though, but we do get a bold striptease. As it goes on, you’ll notice that it has a lot of nice touches to it, and it has a pretty clever twist (Both films have a shared interior of the room with the fireplace and the creepy model face above it).<br /><br />I watched the Italian version for this review, but I have a DVD-R that contains the English version. It’s murky looking in comparison, and the dubbing isn’t the greatest. Other than that there really isn’t much of a difference, as far as I can tell.<br /><br />One of the co-writers of TVatB, Giuseppe Pellegrini, apparently only directed one film, Love and Death on the Edge of a Razor (1973), which stars Peter Lee Lawrence and Erika Blanc, both of whom co-starred in Love and Death in the Garden of the Gods. Both films almost sound like companion pieces. <br />Giovanni Susinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03253382939348997303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2316228451187611813.post-28241851761557109982015-06-23T04:22:18.575-07:002015-06-23T04:22:18.575-07:00It's been a while since I saw this one but I r...It's been a while since I saw this one but I remember enjoying it quite a lot. The dance sequences were very campy and fun. The relationship between the countess and her servant had a very ambiguous feel to it. My only gripe is that the makeup effects for the male vampire make him look like some gnarly old lady. I've only seen the Italian version but apparently there's an English dub floating about.<br /><br />For some reason, I never got around to finishing The Vampire of the Opera. I really should though because it seemed to be the start of Polselli's crazy experimentalism. Also need to check out The Playgirls and the Vampire.Terencehttp://chickswithcandles.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.com
