A 'new' Luca Damiano film

[Walter Burns]

I have information on a Luca Damiano film which doesn't seem to be listed on the EGAFD yet.

The title of the film is Scandalo al sole. It appears to be a sister film to Jurassic Pork. It has the exact same cast -- with Ildiko Berger again credited as Cindy Scorsese -- and was shot at the same location.

There is no real story -- just Francesco Malcolm and Yasmina who visit a nudist camp for the first time and who are being shown around by Laura Palmer. Various couplings ensue, ending in the obligatory all cast orgy which Damiano often uses to end his movies.

Thanks. Could it be the same as Shameless? This could fit the nudist camp theme. I know the director is given as d'Amato, but that's not necessarily significant.

Well, I have taken another look at the credit sequence on the version that was aired by Canal+ some time ago. There is a funny thing going on here.

The first title card reads "Capital Films". AFAIK, Capital was Joe D'Amato's company. And surely enough, the second title card reads "Un film di Joe D'Amato".

But then, after all the other title cards -- title of the movie, the different cast members, the director of photograpgy (Frederico Slonisko, a well known alias for Joe D'Amato), editing (Kathleen Stratton, another AKA for D'Amato), ... -- the last two title cards say something different altogether. The one before the last one says it is a Gold Pictures release. Gold Pictures is Damiano's company. And as one might expect, the last title card indeed reads "Regia di Luca Damiano".

So, who was responsible for the film? You tell me.

btw, the pictures at orgazmik's site definitely come from the film I have seen as Scandalo al sole.

Take note that while every girl was credited, the same does not apply for the male performers. Both Attila Schulter and Gerry Pike were not credited and are also not listed on Orgazmik's site.

Thanks a lot. No wonder there's so much confusion about who directed what between those two.
