THE ULTIMATE DEGENERATE / A THOUSAND PLEASURES w/ Deluxe Slipcase

Distribpix + Something Weird Present THE ULTIMATE DEGENERATE and A THOUSAND PLEASURES! 

Few filmmakers epitomize the aesthetics of vintage Times Square cinema better than Michael Findlay. Often collaborating with his wife Roberta who served as cinematographer and occasional actor alongside him, the couple created sick and sordid classics which still retain their power to shock. Released at the end of their '60s streak of unforgettable roughies which included the notorious Flesh Trilogy, this set of sleaze classics have been newly restored in 4K from their original camera negatives, replete with in-depth extras including a fresh conversation with Roberta Findlay herself.

Uta Erickson winds up in New England looking for sexual kicks in THE ULTIMATE DEGENERATE (1969, b&w), as she comes under the control of Michael Findlay playing a ruthless, insatiable sadist. With the help of his servant Bruno, he keeps a pack of women around the house acting out exceedingly stranger, more lurid kinks. This sexual trap seems to offer no release, but what does the degenerate really desire? Starring Uta Erickson, Earl Hindman, Janet Banzet, Suzzan Landau, John Amero.

Michael Findlay plays Richard Davis in A THOUSAND PLEASURES (1968, b&w), where, fresh from murdering his wife, he gets caught disposing of her corpse and is promptly abducted to a remote seaside house by a group of man-hating lesbians. Forced into becoming their slave, Richard is soon subjected to all manner of depravity and torture, the likes of which he never even imagined. Starring Uta Erickson, Linda Boyce, Janet Banzet, Kim Lewid.
