over the years, certain movies are made and never 'released' to theatre's for one reason or other.
than years later, these films suddenly appear in the form of video tape.
"Little Mother", which on the box is clearly stated is based on the life of Evita Peron, was one
of these films. as usual the women are beautiful, the nudity is plentiful, but the story line is
weak.
how this could be based even loosely on Evita Peron is beyond me.

Very few of Radley Metzger's flicks deliver the exploitation goods properly, and this is one of them. He's always reaching farther than his talents can take him, so most of his films are half-assed attempts at art house exploitation that bare too little skin and are devoid of any art. In the early 60's he was almost onto something, but then veered off into X rated territory, and even that stuff is tame. His mid-70's work while utilizing the name 'Henry Paris',well, those are his finest achievements. This 'Evita' soft-core spin is uninspired, uneven and unequivocally lacking sexuality for a flick of its type. The plot is dull, the acting weak, all of which is forgivable IF you deliver the sexual angle you're promoting, but this one makes us wait far too long between scenes to make this a worthwhile venture. This flick makes 'Score', his latest re-release and first to get a blu-ray treatment, look good, and it too is bland, boring and reeks of a homoerotic vibe that will perturb most men who buy this for the nekkid babes. Skip this and look elsewhere for your jollies, 'cause I'm fairly certain you won't find them here...

I like Christianne Kruger so I took a chance and bought this one. I didn't expect much and so I wasn't disappointed much. This is more of an art film. Good photography as these things go, but a murky plot and a lot of artistic pretense. Buy it for the photography.

I've been a fan of Radley Metzger since I saw 'CAMILLE 2000' back in the seventies. This film may not please fans of Metzger eroticisms but it shows a mature film maker at his best when confronted with good material. The 'EVITA' legend gets an interesting upgrade and Metzger uses his cinematic power to bring it to fruition with a powerful performance by Kruger. Fans of Euro Horror will be pleased to see Matt Damon and Anton Differing popping up within the tangled web. Don't get me wrong, Metzger spices things up with some erotic moments of which he is known for but this film is so much more. The quality has average sound with some scratches and splices at the reel changes but why quibble? Here is the maestro with a different twist and I do no one thing about a Metzger film, it is never disappointing.

I am a Radley Metzger fan, and as such I am interested in this film. But I can find no info on it, and desperately want to hear some feedback on it first, as I am a starving student. I don't want to buy the tape if it is trash, a bad transfer, cut to blazes, etc

Thanks in advance!
