This
mondo movie, originally released in Europe and Great Britain as
White Angel...Black Angel [AngeliBianchi ... AngeliNeri]
(with a mostly English soundtrack), was purchased by grindhouse company
TransAmerica Films for U.S. distribution. Some of the 'tamer' scenes were
removed and exploitation director Lee Frost was hired to shoot additional
rougher footage (which features an orgy with Satan-worshipping
naked hippies, a Voodoo ceremony and a cautionary message from Lieutenant
David Estee of the Capitola California Police Department). Filmmaker Lee
Frost (as R L Frost) is best known for the S&M adventure POOR
CECILY as well as LOVE
CAMP 7, SLAVES
IN CAGES and the hardcore (XXX) movie CLIMAX
OF BLUE POWER.
Director Luigi Scattini graduated with a law degree, but chose to become
a journalist and film critic for several Italian magazines including Gente
and Oggi. He became a documentarian in the early '60s and moved
to the 'mondo shockumentary' with PRIMITIVE
LOVE.He seems to have an affinity for naked women in the
snow [see photo, below right] as he also delivered a similar segment for
his previous film, SWEDEN
HEAVEN OR HELL. In 1977, he helmed a quirky romance actioner with
Pamela Grier, NIGHT
OF THE HIGH TIDE. Mr Scattini died from natural causes in 2010
at age 83.
