Furs on Film – The Case of the Bloody Iris (1972)

We continue our long-running series on “films where Edwige Fenech is pursued by a killer while wearing fur.” If I had a nickel for every time this has happened… I’d have 2 nickles, but it’s kinda strange it’s happened twice. So, be sure to suggest The Case of the Bloody Iris as your next film… Read More Furs on Film – The Case of the Bloody Iris (1972)

Furs on Film – The Happy Hooker (1975)

The Happy Hooker is a 1975 film mostly known for spawning two sequels with ever-decreasingly renowned actresses in the lead role. For the first one, we get Lynn Redgrave to add an air of credibility to the proceedings. I’ll probably get around to the sequels later, maybe a two-for-one, but this one can stand on… Read More Furs on Film – The Happy Hooker (1975)

Furs on Film – Madame Claude (1977)

Today we answer the question: why did the 2021 version of Madame Claude so prominently feature coyote fur coats? Was it because the film’s costume department meticulously analyzed the fur-wearing habits of high-class ’70s escorts and cross-referenced the socioeconomic status of the average Parisian citizen during the decade in question? No. It’s because the 1977… Read More Furs on Film – Madame Claude (1977)

Furs on Film – The Stud (1978)

Today we learn that there are sequels that are better than the original. Unfortunately, it’s because we’re talking about the original. The Stud was the first of what might have been a trilogy, but, despite the success of the sequel (The Bitch), a third film was never made. Thus Forever Lulu remains the top 1980s… Read More Furs on Film – The Stud (1978)

Furs on Film – Bluebeard (1972)

We return to what this blog is known for, reviewing fur fashion in terrible movies. This week, it is the later Richard Burton vehicle Bluebeard. Burton went from one of the most respected dramatic actors in Hollywood to closing out his career with a guest spot on The Fall Guy. This is also a period… Read More Furs on Film – Bluebeard (1972)

Furs on Film – Rabid (1977)

Well, I’m not waiting for next Halloween, so let’s do this. This is the second film from noted horror director David Cronenberg. Unlike many horror films I’ve reviewed, this one has the distinction of being: “mid,” as the youths say these days. So, let’s get Rabid with our devotion to late ‘70s zombie pandemic horror. … Read More Furs on Film – Rabid (1977)

Furs on Film – The Possession Of Joel Delaney (1972)

Let the horror themes continue. Up next: possession. I was so ready to make Exorcist knock-off jokes about this movie, but it had the audacity to be released the year before The Exorcist. It even contains an exorcism of sorts. So get your fill of the furs in The Possession Of Joel Delaney, with a… Read More Furs on Film – The Possession Of Joel Delaney (1972)

Furs on Film – Strip Nude for Your Killer (1975)

Time for the soft announcement that this is now just an Edwige Fenech stan blog. Well, not quite yet, but suffice to say, after Asso, I started… prioritizing my review queue. Sadly, this is not as good as Asso, but I suspect I may have inadvertently started with the greatest Edwige Fenech fur film. No… Read More Furs on Film – Strip Nude for Your Killer (1975)

Furs on Film – The Pink Panther Strikes Again (1976)

Since it is 2022, this update will be a little more “underground” than I’d like. During the Internet’s infancy, there was far more discussion of this particular little flick, and I suspect it is because the scenes within perhaps… awakened something? Well, “suspect” is not the correct term, “was claimed explicitly” is probably more accurate.… Read More Furs on Film – The Pink Panther Strikes Again (1976)
