hans billian's secret passions

[DavidS]

I agree. Not Billian's best, but certainly not his worst.

I just received it from Five Star. Good picture quality. Also, it's actually longer than my VHS version. The scene between the master of the house and the maid in the beginning of the film is much longer. There might be other additions as well. Very nice.

This Italian version is 3' longer more than Swedish

That's the difference. Those three minutes involves a power game (the maid is blackmailed into performing sex with her employer) and a whip (he pokes her with it). In Sweden, S&M- and domination-related scenes were a main taboo with the censors for a long time. Even some Andrew Blake films were cut in the 90's. Today it's more liberal and up to the distributors to make their own cuts (which hardly ever happens).
