Unidentified (presumed European) sexploitation daybill
Hi guys,
I picked this title up recently from John:
The OFLC database shows that Filmways had this film passed with an R rating in June 1981. It has no director listed (not uncommon) and says it's US in origin and was produced by Triumph.
There's no IMDB listing that I can find, Googling has revealed nothing and my rookie attempts to sift through Trove have also resulted in nada.
So I turn to you guys - any ideas what stone I can turn over next? The Blake and Filmways films of this genre from this period are nearly always European in origin so I think that that mention of the US on the OFLC site might be wrong. I've emailed the OFLC to see if they have any extra detail available, such as the year of production.
The blandness of the title makes online searching tricky, too!
I'm thinking the production company might be the best clue, but so far any Triumph company I've found doesn't seem to have any pre-June 1981 films that could be this one.
The run time on the OFLC site suggests a heavily edited film - the run time is only 62 minutes - so experience suggests that the film is likely to be from several years earlier than 1981; most likely a early to mid 1970s film.
I love researching these mystery films but this one has me stumped! HELP!

It looks like you have researched this title extensively.
The best I can come up with is a film titled Computer Game from the U.S.A. dated 1969 produced by Kirt Films and released by Distribpix Inc. in the U.S.A. The running time being 63 minutes. Apart from the singular and plural name difference and the difference in the production company name I think with a similar running time, name and country of origin there is a distinct possibility these two films may be the same.
I couldn't find anything about the poster. There are another couple of films with similar names but I don't think they match. I think Computer Games might be late 70s early 80s.
Another one I couldn't find anything about was this one from Blake Films ....
I still think Computer Games is possibly the film I mentioned previously from the U.S.A. and due to various reasons including censorship concerns it probably wasn't released here until the time period you mentioned.
Regarding Beast Of Pleasure though it definitely is a French film from 1975 originally titled La Bete A Plaisir in France. It was produced by Maki Films. Pre cut by Blake films from 76 minutes to 69 minutes the film was passed with a R certificate in Australian by the censor on the 1 / 5 / 1981.
Thanks for the information about Beast of Pleasure. Not entirely sure about Computer Games but you could well be right.
Here is another one that had me stumped for a while. I was able to find out the original title but lets see if anyone else can work it out before I give the answer.
In German Please ?
Here is the answer .....
Ein guter Hahn wird selten fett 1976 aka All Around Service aka Placer a domicilio aka Close Encounters of a Handyman USA aka All Around Service Girls
Collecting these Z grade drive in T & A schlock is much easier on the wallet than 50 year old horror titles, that's for sure!
It may or may not be also titled Hot Channels but I have nothing else I can add as I really don't know the answer.
The producer according to the OFLC listing was 'Triumph'. Searching the OFLC listings for other films from Triumph reveals 3 other films:
- ‘Love In Hot Pants’ – 1971 / USA / 56 min / Refused Classification on 01/11/1979 / US Distributor - Distribpix
- ‘The Bed Spread’ – 1969 / USA / 65 min (from IMDB) / Passed with an ‘R’ rating on 02/09/1980 / 14th Mandolin was the applicant / Production company credited on IMDB as ‘Kirt Films’ / US Distributor – Distribpix
- ‘The Sweet Taste Of Joy’ – 1970 / USA / 64 min (from IMDB) / Passed with an ‘R’ rating on 07/10/1980 / Production company credited on IMDB as ‘Kirt Films’ / US Distributor – Distribpix
And then the film mentioned above...
- ‘Computer Game’ – 1969 / USA / 63 min (from IMDB) / Production company credited on IMDB as ‘Kirt Films’ / US Distributor - Distribpix
So the production company Triumph had 4 films presented to the OFLC between 1979 - 1981. 3 of those films can be easily cross referenced to films originally shot / released between 1969 - 1971.What do you think team? Is there enough here to suggest this daybill is for the 1969 film 'Computer Game'?
