OVERALL: Blu-ray A-
OVERALL: Blu-ray A
The only version that we are currently aware of.
This film has been released in at least four variants:
1) The director's cut (76:15).
2) The French theatrical version "Les Croqueuses" (100:51) had a framing story with Lina Romay and Caroline Riviere added (turning everything into a dream) as well as hardcore footage featuring Alice Arno, Lina Romay, Pierre Taylou (who is not in the original cast but was working with Franco around the time of the reshoots, which were probably shot around the same period as LES NUITS BRULANTES DE LINDA which featured Arno, Romay, and Taylou), and some soft takes with doubles.
3) A second French version – released on SECAM videocassette with a video-burned LA COMTESSE PERVERSE title although it may also have played theatrically – featured the same body doubles in hardcore action.
4) The Italian version (under the title "Sexy Nature") also has hardcore inserts with different body doubles, but has the one scene with Romay, Taylou, and Arno in a more logical place (the scene was inserted arbitrarily in the French cut).
The "Sexy Nature" version featured on the Mondo Macabro Blu-ray is the semi-hardcore "Les Croqueuses" version with the Italian title sequence. -
