Harry
is a young millionaire on holiday. He takes his yacht to a Greek island,
where he's the guest in the mansion of a friend, Count Orloff. The Count
organizes a three-day feast which celebrates the love cult of the Goddess
Aphrodite. During the lavish, hedonistic party, Harry meets Pauline,
a young woman who becomes his goddess.
The
film is loosely based on a bestselling novel Aphrodite
by Pierre Louis. It was the last motion picture for director Robert
Fuest who retired a year later and began teaching at the London International
Film School. He is best known for helming The Avengers television
series [plus theatrical ventures] and for directing the two Vincent
Price Dr Phibes films. Mr Fuest died at age 80 in March 2012.
This
was the breakout role for Valérie Kaprisky. Two years later,
she found International fame with YEAR
OF THE JELLYFISH but her popularity disappeared almost as quickly
when her American-made version of Breathless (with Richard Gere)
was released a year later in Europe to devastating reviews and audience
outrage. Deciding that she didn't feel comfortable with the Hollywood
scene (nor their movies), she returned to France for an ongoing parade
of television projects and a publicized, heated romance with Alain Delon.
Today, she is playing the lead role of Laura Belmont in the TV series
Section de Recherches [Research Section] (2015-).
