Here's another of these misguided sexploitation films that never really hits it's mark, and falls weary like a lot of these dramas. This Emanuelle has some nasty violence mixed in, the daughter is hot indeed (the nude shower scene stays in my head) This is typically a revenge film, of Emanuelle settling some old ugly scores, the daughter oblivious of her activity. The daughter falls is love also. It's that age. A dangerous mafia figure gets to know the daughter too, where in the end, he gives it to her old. ED is just another of these muddled Italia sex pics, good for birdwatching. The daughter is one of very few reasons to watch this, in an adult pic that delivers on nudity and sex, but not much else I'm afraid.

The Emanuelle series is basically made up of two types of film; 'official' entries (as official as an Italian rip-off of a French porn series can be) and random Laura Gemser films that were re-titled 'Emanuelle' to help them sell. Emanuelle: Queen of Sados, is one of the latter. The film is something of a crime-drama...although it could be better described as 'wall to wall sex scenes', as that's mostly what it is. Anyway, the plot basically hinges on a woman whose plan to hire a killer to murder her husband backfires when the killer begins blackmailing her. In the version I saw, Laura Gemser's character was called 'Emmanouella', although despite a similar name; she has no relation to the journalist character seen in the official entries. The title is interesting...and I really have no idea where the 'Queen of Sados' part comes from. Perhaps it was an attempt to fool audiences into thinking that the film has something to do with sadomasochism? Anyway...I really can't say that this film is all that interesting. The sex scenes are not bad, but do become monotonous after a while; and the cinematography isn't great either so it doesn't benefit from good looking scenes like the earlier Black Emanuelle, White Emanuelle did. I'm not sure what fans of the series would make of this film; but Laura Gemser is in it (and looks great as usual) so that's something at least. Overall, I'd put this in the mid-range of Emanuelle films and only fans of the series need apply.

The "Black Emanuelle" series went from pointless erotica ("Black Emanuelle") to the most crass and tasteless Italian exploitation ("Emanuelle in America")without ever actually achieving any drama or a real plot. This is about the closest the series ever came to a real movie. Gemser has a meatier-than-usual role as a trophy wife who has knocked off her rich, jaded husband, but is being blackmailed by the sleazy character she hired to do it. She falls in love with her late husband's industrialist partner (played by Gemser's real husband Gabrielle Tinti), and for some reason keeps around her husband's busty mistress, who had helped him sexually torture her and who begins plotting with the blackmailer against her. On the other, she seems genuinely devoted to her husband's teenage daughter, Livia (thus this movie was alternately called "Emmanuelle's Daughter" to capture the lucrative pervert market). The blackmailer, a sleazy looking Greek guy who always has a rose between teeth, makes his way sexually through the entire female cast, but isn't necessarily a very intimidating villain.The ending of this movie is abrupt and incredibly stupid, but up until then there is some genuine dramatic tension, making this slightly more interesting than the typical Emanuelle flick. It's not nearly as transgressive and disturbing as some of the Joe D'Amato Emanuelle films (although the Italian sleazemeister was peripherally involved in this on the production end). There is one unpleasantly graphic, but not entirely gratuitous, rape scene involving an actress of an indeterminate, but probably pretty young, age--but no "snuff film" footage, equine masturbation, or cannibalism here.Gemser, on the other hand, looks great and really gets a chance to act for change. Definitely recommended for Gemser/Emanuelle fans. As for everyone else. . .well, why are you reading this anyway?

Complete nonsense with awful dialogue but above average as a sex movie. Gemser, of course is as lovely as ever, but given a little too much to do here and what with the rambling of the script she has little chance, even if she fares better than most who seem to take it in turns to under act and over act. Taking the storyline seriously is a bad mistake but the many and varied sex sequences are fine. If you don't mind sex mixed with more than a little violence that is. Here we get rape and near rape, an extraordinary scene where a medallion wearing gentleman disturbs a woman in his flat, knocks her about a bit and then considers that sex would be a good idea and the couple fall into each other's arms, and other almost jaw dropping moments. Unbelievable shots of Gemser nude astride a horse deep in the sea which may or may not be supposed to contrast with a later rape of a young girl in the shallow surf!
