The only thing I remember about it is that it's a paranoid moody-looking film where the female sex actually turns out to be a conspiratorial force of evil in the world. I'm guessing were talking late 60's, possibly B/W, possibly Italian or German dubbed. Does this blurry memory from 70's late-late-show viewing ring a bell for anybody?

It very well could be a Franco movie, I saw it on UHF channel 32 WFLD out of Chicago, they had a lot of dubbed Franco back in the day. Guess I thought it was a more serious film though, but I was pretty young. Last Edited By: pulp novelties May 10 12 2:07 PM. Edited 1 times.

Franco did the last two Fu Manchu features around the same time, all titles based on Sax Rohmer stories. Frankie Avalon was in the first, George Sanders was in the Franco film, with only Shirley Eaton starring in both, with a cameo as 'The Black Widow' in Franco's THE BLOOD OF FU MANCHU.

The only thing I remember is that it ended on a darkened street with a few rather attractive women giving knowing glances as they passed by, as if they were all "in on it together". Kind of like the reverse of the STEPFORD WIVES final bow. I know this is nothing to go on, but thanks for trying guys. From what I've read so far about the suggested titles GIRL FROM RIO seems the most likely, but I don't remember what I'm thinking of being campy.
