Original
Italian Title: BAMBOLA DI CARNE [Doll of Flesh]
also known as MISINNOCENCE
director: Andrea
Bianchi (as Andrew White)
starring: Pilar Orive · Sonia Franco · Aldo Sambrell (sometimes
Sanbrell) · Fernando DeJuan · Simona Giunti
Conceptually
based on Oscar Wilde's Salmone, this film explores the
'sexual gaze' which creates passion (and ultimately, tension) between
a man and a woman. For Andrea Bianchi's film, a young woman named Jenny
- now the fiancé of rich tycoon Frank - goes to the family estate
to oversee the refurbishing before the two of them move there permanently.
She is soon entangled in a web of deception and mistrust as Frank's
daughter Lolette does everything possible to derail the relationship
between Jenny and her father.
What a major find this is! Here
is the sought-after final project for Pilar Orive, a young beauty-pageant
winner (Spain's Miss Euskadi) who migrated to Argentina shortly after
the release of the epic CAGED
WOMEN IN PURGATORY. She married South American pop singer Paolo
Salvatore in 1995 and retired from motion pictures after making this
obscure Andrea Bianchi film that same year. Andrea Bianchi is a popular
genre director known for an array of films including THE
SEDUCTION OF ANGELA(which he helmed jointly with sleaze filmmaker
Pasquale Fanetti), the sex comedy DEAR
SWEET NIECE, and the wildly outrageous MANIAC
KILLER. He also retired from filmmaking after this movie in
1995. Afterwards, he lived quietly in Paris [where he refused to talk
about his motion picture career] until his death in 2013 at age 88.
