Review
This fantasy film contains much sexual innuendo for the time it was made.
Michele Mercier bathes nude with other girls in an outdoor pool. A life-sized
mechanical doll of a beautiful and lethal woman wears only bikini panties,
her long hair covering her breasts. Noelle Adam is captured and is strung up naked
(suggested by her bare back, shoulders, and thighs) and has her feet burned on two
separate occasions in the film. All pretty risque and fun for 1961.
