Sex Farm (1974)
What were they thinking..
The 70's was the era of the sex comedy. The vast majority were just harmless fun, no animals were killed and main stream actors that took the plunge could still show their faces in public. The sex in this film is not fun. It is more sinister. The version I watched was the approved X certificate British release.
Some of the cuts needed to pacify the British censors were obvious, especially a scene with Amber Kammer where it looks like the offending frames were just removed and the tape spliced back together. It was Amber Kammers'character that was initially not welcoming of the harassment that was taking place, but it continued unabated. (This was also her last film, which may, or may not be just coincidence.) As pointed out by others, the female lead , Hilary Farr has gone on to a successful career on Canadian TV. Also Tristan Rogers, who plays Amber Kammers' husband in the film, has gone onto a huge career in the USA, including starring in the legendary TV series The Young and the Restless.
Because of the Cats (1973)
Runtimes..
A gang of six wealthy hoodlums break into a married couple's house and rape the wife while forcing the husband to watch. Thus begins a dogged investigation by a determined detective who quickly finds that their cult-like solidarity can be a serious obstacle to breaking them. Here's another little oddity that's been particularly hard to track down. This was originally released in the US with an X rating and was later re-edited for an R. All of the rips I have seen are 94 minutes, but the IMDb run-time for the film is 98 minutes. Thats a big discrepancy, even allowing for different frame rates. I will just have to keep looking for that illusive 98 minute cut.
