Incredibly sexy image of Rosalba Neri (I’m a huge fan of hers) in the Jesus Franco women in prison cult favorite, 99 Women. It was amazing seeing this film up on the big screen for the first time last night at the film series - The Alamo Drafthouse Weird Wednesday. Check below for the video I posted on Twitch with the intro Lars did for it.

The Cipra Production was produced by Jacques Bar and directed by Rene Clement.
