Prisoner of Paradise + Sadie + The Seductress w/SLIP
Bob Chinn's love of classic Hollywood and the world of B-pictures is reflected in this trio of capers, melodramas, and thrillers from Peekarama. 1945: Joe, an American GI, ends up stranded on a remote Pacific island after his ship is attacked. Initially believing he is alone, he soon discovers that the island is also home to a small Nazi outpost who have taken two American Red Cross nurses prisoner; subjecting them to unimaginable abuses. Determined to free his fellow freedom fighters, Joe hatches a daring plan, not realizing that he's about to end up in the clutches of the enemy. A madly entertaining hybrid of Nazisploitation, war thriller, and bizarro satire, PRISONER OF PARADISE features superstars John Holmes and Seka. What appears to be a basic extramarital affair soon takes a more sinister turn as each of the participants reveal that their carnal involvement was a blackmail setup. Curious to figure out who, and why, they've been forced into such compromising positions, they decide to set a trap for their would-be blackmailers, only for the situation to turn deadly.
An intriguing sleeper gem in Chinn's vast career, THE SEDUCTRESS invites audiences into an open-ended and true crime-inspired mystery, which stars Lisa De Leeuw, Kathy Harcourt, Lee Carol, and Billy Dee. Borneo, 1971. Sadie is a free-spirited prostitute whose favorite hangout is visited by the moralizing Senator Daniels, who sneeringly disapproves of Sadie's liberated lifestyle. When Sadie falls for kind-hearted Navy man Jock, the sinister senator sets in motion a play to separate the two as punishment for her "immoral" ways. Inspired by Somerset Maugham's classic "Rain," Chinn's SADIE is a soulful study of forbidden love and moral hypocrisy which stars Chris Cassidy and Lisa K. Loring.
