The Lustful Turk + The Joys of Jezebel Blu-ray Limited Slipcover Edition

During the 1960s, producer David F. Friedman’s ongoing quest to elevate the quality of sexploitation production led to numerous period pieces and costume comedies. Among his most lavish such efforts were THE LUSTFUL TURK (1968) and THE JOYS OF JEZEBEL (1969), each of which has been newly restored in 4K from their 35mm original camera negatives and come to Blu-ray for the very first time from Something Weird + Distribpix.
 
In THE LUSTFUL TURK (1968), the English aristocrat Emily Barlow is en route to India along with her handmaiden, when pirates seize hold of their ship. Taking the ladies back to their harem, their captors force them to partake in the most unspeakably erotic torments, which Emily reports in detail to her friend Sylvia back home via regularly written letters. Amid the depravity and barbarism of the world in which she's now held captive, the debauched Emily slowly calculates how she might take her revenge. Directed by Byron Mabe (She Freak), this raucous and sensual costume saga was penned by Friedman himself, and features Linda Stiles (Lee Frost’s The Animal) and Harvey Shain (Fugitive Girls).
 
Jezebel herself has just arrived in hell, but quickly strikes a deal with Lucifer in THE JOYS OF JEZEBEL (1969), so that she can return to earth provided she delivers to Lucifer the beautiful virgin Rachel. However, since the cunning Jezebel has scores to settle, she uses her powers to switch bodies with Rachel, sending the beautiful innocent back to hell in her place! While Lucifer searches for Rachel in hell, Jezebel is free to exact her revenge. An exquisitely beautiful and extraordinarily colorful sexy comedy, from director Peter Perry (Kiss Me Quick), THE JOYS OF JEZEBEL stars Luanne Roberts (101 Acts of Love) and Dixie Donovan (The Notorious Cleopatra).
