When boredom meets betrayal, the bedroom becomes a crime scene nobody leaves alive.
A sexually adventurous couple finds their sordid affairs may ultimately be their undoing in director Jones Brown’s lurid thriller. Emotionally starved and desperate to experience new thrills, a bored housewife gets what she asked for when her bored husband begins pimping her out to the wealthy and powerful. But when the seeds of deceit are planted, paranoia takes hold and plunges their fantasy world of pleasure into a bottomless pit of darkness.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Renato Polselli shot this under multiple titles including 'Velluto nero' to exploit different regional censorship standards. The 75-minute runtime suggests heavy cuts everywhere.
This is peak 'years of lead' Italian exploitation—economic anxiety, crumbling marriages, and the wealthy literally purchasing the working class for entertainment. The 1.6 TMDB rating is almost impressive; it means almost nobody's seen it, not that it's 'bad.'
