This copy has normal audio levels and better picture quality than the version uploaded on Archive.org years ago. A personal render of a copy I own with the right settings(the archive copy is blown out and bright with tracking issues).

Here's the corrected file:

  • Two scenes are altered in this version which is what lowered the rating from X to R in 1971. The high-speed orgy features alternate footage/takes.....and the Ludovico Technique has a replacement shot during the rape scene, cuts to a doctor instead of revealing full frontal nudity and such.
  • The current releases since 1986 are labeled R rated, but features the original X rated version of the film.

Fair warning: there does seem to be some disagreement on when this film came out. IMDb lists it as coming out in 1956, but the Film Preservation Institute and the title I've linked to here on YouTube list it as coming out in '58. However, it did come out around that time.

Please don't be too harsh if this doesn't really fit, I'm not super familiar with this world of lost/rare media.

I found this DVD at a Goodwill Bins the other day and it basically doesn't exist anywhere on the internet except EXTREMELY depricated websites. You can't find a hard copy to buy on either Amazon or on Ebay. I thought it was really interesting and incredibly unusual subject matter.

Pretty stinkin unusual piece of media that is crazy rare.

I have pictures of it anybody are interested in seeing (since I can't attached them to the post). Has anybody seen anything like this before?
