Goodbye Emmanualle

[Handley_Page]

Sylvia Kristel, star of the original Emmenuelle, has died. Link

R.I.P.

One of those movies that compared to what's out there today, is very tame, but was a cult classic in its day.

I saw it when I think I was 14 on I want to say cinemax and I know there were some sequels.

The book, credited to 'Emmanuelle Arsan' was ground-breaking. The first film, with Krystel, little less so. The few sequels I've seen seemed to me derivative and formulaic.

Goodbye. And thanks for the memories.

Teenage Lust

I agree. Good bye, and thanks for the memories. I have a fondness of Sylvia and that movie, born from teenage lust.

I ruined a few pairs of tube socks over the course of her career. Time sure flies.

Tube socks? Wow, I thought that was some kind of an urban legend!
