Here is Cult Exploitation at its Best! Legendary filmmakers Joe D'Amato (Aristide Massaccesi) and Bruno Mattei wrote it, produced it and delivered it to an unsuspecting audience in 1976. Here is the highly controversial story of a woman named Emanuelle who concocts an elaborate revenge plot against slimeball Carlo after he drives her younger sister Francoise to suicide.

This film serves as a foundation for D'Amato's Golden Period, produced a mere two months before he put Laura Gemser under contract for the Black Emanuelle series. It is a well-made, shocking venture into sexploitation by two of the industry godfathers.

George Eastman is still active in movies as of this writing, but since 1987 he has been using his real name, Luigi Montefiori, for the credits. He started acting in the early '60s and has made 65+ films since then under a variety of pseudonyms (including John Cart, Alex Carver, Lew Cooper, Gabriele Duma, Richard Franks, Louis London, Gigi Monte and Tom Salina). Before joining Joe D'Amato's stable in the mid '70s, he was best known for his Spaghetti Westerns, BLOOD AT SUNDOWN, VIVA DJANGO, HATE THY NEIGHBOR all signed as George Eastman (an obvious play on Clint Eastwood's name). After joining D'Amato's troupe, Eastman began co-writing scripts too (ie., HARD SENSATIONS and ANTHROPOPHAGUS THE GRIM REAPER.
