Imagine the disappointing bit 
of lethargy/apathy/contempt 
developing here now: 
when it is tumblr that reminds us 
of an old, forgotten piece of 
smut cinema (!) 
(allegedly celebrating 
50 years now, too...) 
--- and not IMDB!!! 















It is - it really is a 1969 film! 
Along with The Color of Pomegranates...

But... What was the problem? 
Jess Franco couldn't afford a 3rd one? 
He couldn't bring himself to bring in, 
for the umpteenth time, his wife 
Ro (whatwashernameagain) 
to be the third angel here?!? 
Granted, she could do vampire 
or whore - but she wouldn't have been 
all that believable as an angel... 
Luckily, here ~ YouTube has provided 
the missing third undercover angel:
