Psychedelic dream sequences; wild orgies; LSD; and a scene of grotesque canine disemboweling experiments that nearly sent A Lizard in a Woman’s Skin’s famous director to prison. This is the beating heart of an Italian cinematic masterpiece that explores the fuzzy ...

Model-turned-actress Isa Jank (Forbidden Love), with her stunning looks, is good at getting attention. The camera, at one time, really loved lingering on her high cheek-boned ways. Considered hot property by the late 1980s, she was pretty much leveled to a pillar of ash ...
