  • Overview

    John, a young man raised by his aunt, is in love with Anna, a servant girl who is going to have his baby. He is willing to marry her but his stern aunt wants him to marry a rich girl. To separate the lovers, she arranges for her nephew to be enrolled at a university in a distant town. She then has Anna sent away to live with Torgus the coffin maker and his mother where she will be secluded until the birth of the child. Torgus, a clumsy golem-esque sort of fellow, is immediately charmed by the beautiful girl and takes pity on her. Meanwhile, Anna anxiously awaits John's return.

By the late 50s, camera equipment was affordable and readily available, so amateur "Blue" movies were produced in abundance. This collection turns up the "raunch" factor considerably. The camera lingers on the naked bodies, slowly covering every square inch of fleshy real estate. Bizarre camera angles abound as well as unbelievable close-ups where a crotch or a nipple fills the entire screen. Obviously, there is never a shortage of beautiful models prepared to go before the cameras and leave absolutely nothing to the imagination!
