The Bitches (1973) (1973)
Adventurer Eric, who takes a job as male “companion in order to fund his next worldwide expedition, makes him extremely vulnerable to not altogether unjustified howls of derision. Summoned to the mansion of a prospective client, the mysterious and notoriously hard to please Viriane (), he’s initially dismissed with little fanfare until he creeps into her bedroom at night to, well, “convince” her of his abilities by strapping her to the four-poster with matching scarlet scarves and thoroughly ravishing her. In fairy tale fashion she allows him to stay as her lover for one month, giving him full access to the castle grounds save for a hunting lodge she’s convinced is haunted. A series of kinky parlor games ensues with a collection of story book archetypes revolving around the central couple, like the disfigured gamekeeper Pierre who Viriane admits was a former lover for the course of one summer and adoring girl servant Lisbeth who jumps at Viriane’s slightest for a chance to share her well-frequented bed. Complications arise however when Viriane’s sister, the apparently innocent though equally perfidious Tessa comes home to visit from boarding school. Off limits to Eric, his very life the price to pay should he breach their agreement, Tessa soon decides her sibling’s hired hand should take her maidenhead, an offer he finds impossible to pass up. Predictably, tragedy strikes as this tale’s evil queen unleashes her all-consuming wrath, with a cruelly ironic twist
