I, Emmanuelle

The first-ever Emmanuelle movie is this virtually unknown and rarely seen 1969 Italian production inspired by the then-newly published memoir by Emmanuelle Arsan: In a career-best performance by Erika Blanc of The Devil's Nightmare and The Night Evelyn Came Out of the Grave fame, a despondent newswoman in search of tenderness takes on multiple lovers in a cold world of loveless contradictions.
