Film producer, DAVID F. FRIEDMAN, made an indelible mark on sexploitation cinema. Always a pioneer, he was on the pulse of the latest genre trends and brought a unique vision to the movies he made. His incredible legacy lives on with the David F. Friedman Blu-ray Collection! 

In THE ADULT VERSION OF JEKYLL & HIDE (1972, color), Dr. Charles Leeder discovers the diary of famed Dr. Henry Jekyll tucked away at an antiques shop. Realizing that it will be instrumental in furthering his own experiments, he breaks into the store to steal it, killing the shopkeeper in the process.  Now, with Jekyll’s body transformation formula all to himself, Dr. Leeder becomes the sultry “Miss Hide,” who uses her newfound sensuality to seduce - and murder - men and women alike. When a detective starts investigating the strange killings, "Miss Hide" is forced to resort to even more brutality to cover her tracks. Directed by Lee Raymond and produced by Friedman’s regular collaborator, Byron Mabe (She Freak), it stars Rene Bond, Jennifer Brooks, and Jane Tsentas as Miss Hyde, this adult horror epic offers a nasty twist on Robert Louis Stevenson’s literary classic.

A peaceful Mexican village is besieged by the power-hungry General Esteban and his assistant Sgt. Felipio Latio in THE EROTIC ADVENTURES OF ZORRO (1972, color), as they take advantage of the local women while forcing the residents to pay high taxes. Don Manuel determines that the only way to bring peace back to the region is for his tough and studly son, Don Diego, who’s studying abroad in Spain, to return and help the people fight back against their villainous oppressors. However, in order to first outsmart his enemy, Don Diego affects an outrageous camp persona at night, donning the cape and mask of the fearless Zorro. As Esteban and Latio attempt to discover the identity of Zorro, Don Diego begins a romantic courtship that threatens to reveal his true self. Produced just at the tail end of the sexploitation drive-in market and directed by Col. Robert Freeman, this lavish period piece comedy pushes the carnality as far as it could go at the time, and features a dazzling cast including Jacqueline Giroux, Starlyn Simone, John Alderman (The Hard Road), and exploitation legend Bob Cresse (The Scavengers) as Felipio Latio.
