Sadist Erotica (1969) - full transcript

[organ playing wedding march ♪]

[woman 1]
To close our show,
we bring you a top creation

from the House of Doré,

our wedding dress, Babette...

[woman 2] Nice.

[woman 1]
a misty dream out of organza
and embroidery.

Ladies and gentlemen,
I thank you,

in the name of our house,
for your interest.

[woman 3]
A beautiful and thrilling model.

[woman 1]
We would love
to welcome you again

at our next show.



[applause]

[man]
It's too bad that a divorce
is so expensive.

[woman 2] Oh, George,
you're really awful.

Really.
There's attorneys.

[man]
Yeah, it just costs too much.

Lida, the mistress would like
to speak with you immediately.

Now, come on.
Hurry up, darling.

Yes, I'm going already.

[knock on door]

[woman] Yes?
Please come in.

You called for me?

[woman]
You look wonderful, child.

Lida, I've got a favor
to ask of you.

Yes?



- Mr. Radeck has asked me to...
- Yes, but you know...

Yes, yes, I know you have
separated from Mr. Radeck,

and I don't know your grounds,

and it doesn't concern me,

but I-I have spoken,
a while ago, to Mr. Radeck.

He is suffering very much
under this separation,

and he asked me to arrange
a talk with you.

Madam, that's quite impossible.

Lida, you've been working
for me for the last two years

and I hope you've always
felt at home here.

You've had
every wish fulfilled.

Yes, I know, Madam, but in this
case, it really doesn't go.

You see, Lida,
I'm in a difficult situation.

Mr. Radeck wasn't only
a good customer of mine,

I'm also personally obliged

because my business hasn't
always run so well as now.

He has often helped me out.

Child, you must meet him.
I really don't see
any other possibilities.

- Speak with him.
- When?

He should be here
at any moment,

and I would be very thankful
if you would wait for him.

Good, Madam.
But I'm only doing it for you.

Thank you.

Sometimes I don't
understand this world.

Radeck is really
a wonderful man.

And besides that...

I know he really loves you.

Be a little nice to him,
my child.

Huh?

Huh.

[grunting]

[groans]

♪

[man] Yeah, come on over.
I got something for you.

Just a second.
Good morning, Inspector.

Good morning.

[man] Yes, naturally
I'll come to dinner.

Yes, I love you.

No, won't touch a drop.

Yes, that's good.

Yes, certainly.

Is that true
what's written here?

Your name
is Napoleon Bolivar?

Yes, but I can't help it.
My father wanted it that way.

I'm not happy about it either.

So, my friend, we know exactly
what this woman looks like.

We must verify it, that's all.

She had quite a well-built
figure, hadn't she?

No, quite slender.

Hair color was blond, right?

No idea.
She was wearing a hood.

- Black eyes?
- Green.

- Green?
- Believe me.

But lots of tits, huh?

Ah, well, I've seen better.
She wasn't that stacked.

You must remember exactly.
Your evidence
is very important.

It's just, I know, but-
but, I can't...

I can't seem to remember
anything anymore.

I really got a terrible,
terrible headache.

When she hit me,
I didn't know it was coming.

She really knocked me
for a loop.

Yes, I wasn't even
thinking anything bad,

and then suddenly
I flew through the air,

and then
I was already dreaming.

And anything else?

No.
No, actually nothing.

That is, I mean yes.

She was wonderful...

I mean, you know, Inspector,

she would be something to marry
if she could just cook.

[phone buzzes]

Hello?

Ankara's on the line.

[woman groans]

I don't want to.
I'm not here.

Come on, it's Ankara.

[gasps]
Ankara!

My God, one just can't get up
when one hasn't anything on.

Thank you.

[pleasant jazz music ♪]

Come on, give it here.

Hello, Mr. Radeck, please.

What did you say?

Yes, my dear, we are all
secretaries at the right time...

and with the right boss.

Hmm...

That will be expensive.

Ah, he's really not there?
My God.

Ah, he's hard to reach?
Where could he be?

Ah, you have a message for me?

That sounds better.
Now let me hear it.

Uh huh?

She wants to know the password,
what should I do?

You've got to say it.

Listen... All right.

I'll give you the password.
Lida.

We've tried everything already,

but he's so busy,
he's always someplace.

Oh, listen here...
Uh-huh.

Then I'll see to it that
I'll meet him at his apartment,

but he should follow
my instructions exactly.

All right. He must be
in his bedroom at midnight,

alone, in the dark,

then it will continue.
[smooches]

Very good.
And I thought you only had men
in your head.

[sighs]

I'm completely exhausted.

Can I sleep on?

I was just so involved.

I dreamed I was with Paul,

and all alone, he took me
in his strong arms,

and he kissed me.
How wonderful.

Which Paul?

Paul Newman, of course.

[laughs]
So, if you work hard, I'll give
him to you for Christmas.

I don't like it when you drag
my true love through the mud.

I really love him.
[laughs]

[whistling]

Good day, Mister.

Why did you call the police,
huh?

I had to do it.
Someone had attacked me.

That picture was gone,
and I thought...

Huh?
What did you think?

[Napoleon stammering]

I think I made a big mistake.

I told you too much
and that was dangerous.

What did you tell the police?

Truthfully, truthfully, I...

I wouldn't say anything.
[grunts]

♪

[thud]

[yawns]

Don't make a move.
[man gasps]

As you can see, I'm punctual.
I have something for you.

[man] Who is it?

[woman] Is that it?

Yes, and it's horrible.

Who painted Lida like that?

You've never seen
that picture before?

No, never.

Is it possible that Lida
posed for that picture
without you knowing about it?

Impossible.

It's impossible, I know that.

A few days
before she disappeared, she...

began to paint on herself

an artificial sort of birthmark
like that, but...

Well, it's absolutely
clear now.

That picture was painted
after her disappearance.

Well then,
I'm on the right track.

I will continue,

but it will cost you $50,000.

I'll agree.

I've gotta have that girl back
because I love her,

and please, find out
who painted that picture.

All right.
Give me $25,000
as first payment.

The other $25,000 you'll pay
when I bring Lida,
dead or alive.

Here are your $25,000.
It's my personal check.

- Don't move.
- Take it.

Don't turn on the light,
and sing something nice

so that I know
you're still here.

All right.

Good night.
You'll hear from me.

Please!
What should I sing?

I can't sing.
I'm absolutely unmusical.

All right, then.

Aren't you well?

What a stupid question.
I feel perfect.

I thought I heard
the sir singing.

Well, certainly I was singing.
What's the matter now?

Didn't you think
it was all right?

So then,
I didn't make a mistake?

No.

I'm very happy that art is
still appreciated in our house,

even if it is so late.
Good night, sir.

Good night.

Ouch!

Quiet.
You're too fat for Paul.

There are all those photos.

In the last two years,
there have been eight women

disappearing under
the same circumstances.

What gives you the idea
that they were all murdered?

There are other reasons
why women disappear.

You ran away
more than once yourself,

and not only from home.
Isn't that so?

Don't talk so stupidly.

That fits to me.

- There again, you're right.
- What do you want?

Men love dumb women,
and that's the most
important thing for me.

If that makes you happy,
but it is really so.

All those cases are similar
in some way.

Everywhere, the same
traces of violence.

But most men
are slightly brutal.

Do tell me.

There must be a guy
with long and strong
fingernails like claws.

- Do you like that too?
- Oh!

The evidence and places
of occurrence fit together.

Here, on one of
the Caribbean islands,

on Topa Tara,
a mulatto disappears,

traces of a battle
in her bungalow.

On different pieces
can be found scratches

that run parallel
and are very deep.

You see, it's always the same.

A few months later,
Camilla Pearson,

a model, disappears.

A similar case.

She was last seen with a man,
about 40 years old,

southern type.

Camilla's last residence
was a third-class hotel.

All the girls
were either dancers,
photo models, or mannequins.

No one knows whether the girls
are dead or not.

They could have been kidnapped,
but I don't believe it,

because if it dealt
with white traffic

one could find out
about it through the
international organizations.

Only in the case with Lida
is there any evidence,

and that's the photo.

What does your masculine
intellect make of it?

Well, if you saw the picture,

you might think it was painted
at the hour of her death.

That would mean we are dealing
with an insane murderer.

What kind of case
do you always choose?

I don't think for a second
that I'll be the next victim.

[laughs]
Afraid?

[footsteps]

Come on over here.

There!
[man grunting]

But, my ladies, do you treat
all your guests this way?

Only our favorite.
What do you want?

Mr. Lamoins sent me.

I'm supposed to look
at your house.

Ah ha.

He said you're only here
for a short while,

and I am looking
for something in this size,

and secondly,
I like the situation I'm in.

I mean, of course,
when I think it over,

I can stand it like this.

Hold me tight, my darling,
and never let me go.

How did you get in here?

How else?
Through the door.

You must understand
I've got a peculiar habit.

- I always go through doors.
- Peculiar bird.

Do you like him,
or shall we throw him out?

Oh, mamma mia,
don't do that to me.
Just let me get up.

You have no idea
who you are sending away.

Well, let's hear it.

You'll hardly believe it.

I'm Vittorio Freda.

Hmm.

It's very nice here.
Yes, I like it very much.

I'll be staying here
this winter.

Did you do this
all by yourselves?

I did the foundation,
she did the rest.

Now you've seen everything,
so get lost.

No, I still haven't
seen the bedroom.

Sorry to disappoint you.

You can't go in there
right now.
Paul Newman's there.

I'll wait.

Ah, is my throat dry
again today?
How 'bout a drink?

I only have a Coke
in the fridge.

I'm not sure
you deserve having it.

What a pity it would be.

May I ask you to disappear
the same way you came in:

- through the door.
- Yes, yes, yes.

I always go through the door.
That's what I had said.

But, children, this is a day
of the missed opportunities.

I must see you again!
Ciao!

I'll never live this down.

I really don't care
for that type.

I find him wonderful.

Oh, you find them
all wonderful,
but now we're going to work.

No, I do't want to.
I don't feel like it.

I thought you wanted
to earn some money.

You should think of Hollywood.

We need diamonds
as big as nuts.

What should I do?

I'd say that you take
Dress Number 3A,
and then to the gallery.

Oh!
It's really wonderful!

Fantastic!

Even at the entrance,
these treasures!

Oh, and there!
I'm overwhelmed, enthused!

Exciting!
Such a beautiful child,
and so much blood!

Are you the Master?

I'm a critic.
Ask over there.

Oh, wonderful.
Exorbitant.

I'll ask over there.

One doesn't know
where one should first look.

Aw, doesn't she look
like Snow White?

As if she were asleep.

Scatterbrained female.

Oh, only once to be tied
like that.

- That could be had.
- Are your the creator?

Sorry, no.

But the Master must be
somewhere to be found.

- Are you him?
- Oh, no.

That statue over there.

- Do you work here, my good man?
- [man] Yes.

Please see to it
that I can meet the Master.

I might want to buy
a few of his pieces...

for cash.

[man]
I'm sorry, but Mr. Tiller
is not here.

That's unbelievable.

He must dedicate himself
to his business.

[laughter]

[man] Please, come with me.

Excuse me, but this lady
would like to speak to you.

Good day, madam.

I've got you.

Now I can live, Master.

Oh, no, I'm just the director
of the gallery.

- Please, have a seat.
- Thank you.

I'm very happy that I've
been able to meet you.

My name
is Anastasia Dos Santos.

I am the
Countess de la Contagia,

and the Marquesa
Cumbre Sadinas.

Oh, my beloved Director,
many pieces from your house

will beautify my lonely life
in Brazil.

I would like to buy pictures,
especially statues.

I love statues
more than anything else.

Oh, madam, please.

I'm very unhappy
that I must tell you...

My dear friend, I must
get to know the Master.

I cannot live without the
Master and his works anymore.

And you,
you will really help me.

I will pay you
any price for it,

and I will do anything
for the one who fulfills
my heart's desire.

My dear Director.

But that is impossible.

I understand.
He is a sensitive man.

Some sort of genius.

What was his name?
Something like Papagano?

- Paganini?
- No!

His name is Klaus Tiller...

but he talks to no one.

I'm not so sure about that.

If he would only see me, then
perhaps I could model for him.

I do have a wonderful figure.

Hmm, with some imagination
one could imagine that.

Nevertheless,
I have to disappoint you.

You can't get to meet him
because he's not here.

You dare tell a Cumbre Sadina
such a lie?

Please believe me.

Even I only get to
talk to his lawyer.

Mr. Tiller himself,
I've never seen.

But the worst of it is that
I am not authorized to sell.

Not even one of
his works of art.

Even for that you
would have to contact
his personal lawyer in Paris.

But I'll do everything
in my power...

Oh, you are so generous, Mr...

Albert.
Albert Carimbaldi.

Oh, my dear Albert,

I would like
to return my gratitude,

but I just don't know how.

I am agreeable.

Please consider me
at your disposal.

Then I can expect you
this evening?

I have a heavenly bungalow.

The summer night
will inspire us,

and Mantovani's violins
will enchant us.

♪ La da-da da da,

Most gracious lady.

I'll use this afternoon
to rest myself

so that I'll be fresh
this evening.

So far I've played along,
but now it's the end!

Now listen to me.

I've already told you,
I don't want that grandpa

and I keep telling you
no, no, no!

- Darling...
- Leave me alone.

Look here.
You want to earn money,
then one must work a bit.

- Mm-mm.
- That's the way it is.

You're almost at your goal.

You in Las Vegas,
and Frankie-boy comes,

and then he greets you,
personally.

And Dean Martin
stands at the bar,

and Frankie sings,
only for you,

"Strangers in the Night."

Then you've got them both.
Dean and Frankie.

Dean and Frankie, yes,
that would be heavenly.

What do I have now?
My grandfather.

You must, you must, you must!

Swallow it, my darling.
Okay?

I'll get the microphones ready.
We haven't much time.

[pleasant jazz music ♪]

Oh...

Maybe this
will bring us further.

And don't get too undressed so
he doesn't get a heart attack.

And please stay around
the microphone all the time.

And how?

They way you always do it.
On the couch.

Hmm, that's him now.
I think it's starting.

Okay. Good luck.

[softly singing to herself]

Oh, Director.

Oh, Countess,
I am so happy to see you.

May I...

- Oh, such wonderful flowers.
- A little present.

You're a cavalier
of the old school.

- Your hat, please.
- Thank you.

Dear Director, I've got
to serve you myself.

I let the servant
off for tonight
so we wouldn't be disturbed.

- Careful.
- I'll manage.

[sighs]

A drink, Albert?

Yes, please,
but not too strong.

I invented a cocktail
especially for you.

Certainly something mild.

We both want to have something
from this evening.

Don't we, my dear?

[laughs seductively]

Just a moment, dear Director.

♪

- Ouch.
- Shh!

- Watch out.
- Did you call me?

Oh, yes.

That is the wild cry of passion

that the women of my land
call to the man they love

as they chase them
through the pampas.

- That hurt me.
- I didn't know
you were near-sighted.

Now...

A little rum...

and a little olive oil...

[giggling]

Be careful.
We still need him.

And on top of that,
a little whiskey.

That'll make it good.

You're brutal.

Small fry.

Countess, you were gone
so long.

I've missed you so.

Thank you.

Please.

[choking]

Is it too strong for you?

Yes...

Ugh...

Oh, you are wonderful.

Breathtakingly beautiful.

My dear Director, you wanted
to tell me about the painter.

About the painter
we can talk later on.

No, tell me about the Master.

You know I need him
like I need air to breathe.

Air, air, yes, it's getting
too warm for me too.

My beloved, come back.

- Couldn't we just...
- That's impossible.

I've very little on.
Haven't you noticed that yet?

And if I get in a draft...

Come on over here.

Absolutely not.
Not on the sofa.

I certainly couldn't talk
to you about painters.

I'm a quiet and discreet lover,
understand?

Oh.
What, the flowers?

I find it romantic
when the perfume of flowers
surrounds me.

But let's talk
about the Master.

I don't know anything more
about him than you.

He paints and he is a sculptor.

But he does contact you about
business matters, doesn't he?

No, no. We do everything
through his lawyer.

Well then, I can never buy
one of his works...

Yes, through one single person.

- Who is that?
- Me.

Oh, and you'll help me?

[groans]
My dear child,

I'll do everything for you,
but it's not so easy.

What's the matter?

That cocktail was wonderful,
but I think it is
confusing me completely.

That's what happens
when one drinks only one,

and so I'll quickly
mix another

for my little pampas sweetie.

[both giggling]

He's too far from the mic.
I can't hear a word.

That isn't important now.
I've just thought of something.

You know, those pictures
in the gallery are similar

to the photos of the girls
who disappeared.

Exactly like I told you
about the figure I had seen.

Then try to buy
whatever he'll sell.

I'm happy enough if I can get
the figure we really need.

Then besides that,
it's a question of the money.

I don't like to part with it
that easily.

- To the next one.
- Exert yourself.

Mm-hmm.

♪

Here I am.

Yoohoo!

- There.
- Thank you.

Cheers.

Why don't you take
your jacket off?
You were so warm.

[slurring]
You really don't have
anything against it?

Oh, you should feel
at home here.

My house is yours.

Olé.

[both giggling]

You little tiger.

And now we'll play a game that
the women of my country love.

I ask you something and by
every answer that is correct

you get a piece of my wardrobe.

That's a fair offer so
everybody gets what he wants.

Do you agree with that?

Yes, just ask me.
Ask me.

For the first question:
Who is the Master?

Personally, only his attorney
knows him.

He lives in Paris.

And what is the name
of his attorney?

Barker.
Barker's his name.

I can't hear anything.
Louder! Louder!

A little louder, please.

The man is named Barker.
Barker in Paris.

[slurring indiscernibly]

♪

What's the matter, darling?

I believe I saw someone
rushing by over there.

Quiet down.
I'm by your side, honey.

Yes.

And now I have a special wish
for you to fulfill.

Sell me the Figure Number 12
out of the catalogue,
my darling.

Whatever you want
I'll sell to you.

Everything you want,
just keep asking.

- The Figure 12.
- It is yours.

I agree.
Do you want it on paper?

Yes.

Yes, but finally,
give me a piece.

Just a moment.

I'm only getting
a pencil and paper.

Here we are.

But I-I just... can't sign
a blank piece of paper.

Then we'll go into my office
and make out a contract.

No, that'll take
too long for me.

You wouldn't cheat me.
I'll believe you so.

- Here.
- Thanks.

Which piece?

Ask him the price.

Come on, ask more questions.

Come on!
The price!

Come on,
I can't wait any longer.

Hmm, and what must your little
darling pay for the figure?

10,000, that's all.

Ooh, that's way too much.

How much you wanna pay?

Half of that.

Oh, good.
Okay, it's sold.

Who...
Who is that?

Good evening.

- My personal maid.
- Your maid?

I thought you had given her
the night off.

Yes, but she made a mistake.

But why?
What does she want here?

She hasn't got anything on.

The poor child
is given to sleepwalking.

Don't wake her up.
Let's keep on playing.

Answer my last question and
you can take everything off.

[giggling]

I can't stand it anymore.
Ask me more.

I will.

Please tell me
the name of the painter, hmm?

Klaus Tiller.

No, that's not his real name.

That's only
his professional name.

I want to know his real name.
I must know it.

And I thought you didn't want
a fully-dressed countess.

His real name is...

Come on!
Hurry!

Nuts!
He's gotten away.

We've neglected our
morning gymnastics, my child.

Mm-hmm.

Tell me...

What are we going to
do with our guest?

Take him away, what else?

We can't have any police here.

We'll first take him down
into the garage.

Huh?

That's not necessary.

Where could he be?

- The tape recorder!
- It can't be true!

What do you mean?

Here, there must be
something on it.

Naturally.

[man on recording]
Come on, we've got to hurry
before they return.

take a hold of it.

Be careful now.

Behind these lines, suddenly
there comes the shock,

the primeval violence
of fright,

and with these colors
is a composition of genius.

The break between body and...

Oh, excuse me, I didn't mean
to disturb you.

You're not bothering.
Come on in.

Oh, is it fantastic!

I am so happy that I finally
possess a work of the Master.

Are you the manager?

I'd like to pick up my figure.

No, he is not.
I am the manager.

I represent Mr. Carimbaldi.

Well, I've come for
the Figure Number 12.

Mm-hmm.

Number 12 was sold
to the Countess Cumbre Sadinas.

Is that you?

And I would like to have
that picture as well.

No, that is impossible.

Yes, the is the signature
of Mr. Carimbaldi,

but I'm sorry, we'll have
to wait until he comes.

And when will that be?

- That I don't know either.
- Now listen to me.

I bought the figure
and I've paid my 10,000,

now all I want is my property.

Do you understand?

Outside is my moving van
and my workers are waiting.

Yes, but Countess, I really
haven't the authority.

That doesn't interest me and
I'm taking it along with me.

It's absolutely absurd
what people ask of me.

Come on, boys, hurry up.

- I really must protest.
- The contract
is incontestable.

The lady has paid for it,
she can take it with her.

Finally, a reasonable man.

Uh huh?
What is your name, my friend?

Oh, my name is Maloo
and I am from Interpol.

Hm, you've come
at the right time.

We're under police protection,
boys.

I'll hold you responsible
for everything.

You're speaking with
the famous Francis Maloo.

Humph.

Oh!

I want to thank you.
You're really my savior.

Oh, I only want to see
that justice is carried out.

[singing to himself]

I never really knew
that the police
were just wonderful people.

I'd always heard that
the police had the same
tendencies as criminals.

It is said in the modern
criminal psychology.

But you're no criminal.
That can be seen immediately.

Yes, I'm an Englishman.

Ah, I love England.

The Beatles, the Queen,

and... the mail robbers.

You happen to know any of them?

No...

What a pity.

Stop! Stop! Wait!

The lady belongs to me!
Here!

Look, mack, let us
get the thing loaded.

Not one step further!

What do you want of me?
The sculpture belongs to me!

Then you've made
a tremendous mistake.

I am in the right.
Even the police are convinced.

This lady is bound to me
through a contract.

- Here is my receipt.
- I don't care.

- I'll let you...
- Police.

Oh, please forget it.
One wouldn't believe it
looking at you.

Just keep reading.
I'll be glad to put more
documents at your disposal.

Oh, so you have bought it
and you have bought it.

Whatever do you see
in that thing?

She is a unique piece of art.
Load her up.

Stop.
Let go of her.

Maybe you guy'll make up
your mind some time today.

I'd like to eat some lunch,

and my buddies'd like
to get off of work.

She will not be loaded.
That thing belongs to me.

Shut up!

Oh, my dear, dear Inspector,

help a defenseless woman
to her rights, would you?

I got one of those
standing in my garden.

You're here
to protect the weak.

- Yes.
- Do you have any sisters?

Then you must know
how women suffer.

Have you any idea what
it's like inside of me?

- No, not yet.
- Then tell him to take off.

You're absolutely right.

What are you waiting for?
The statue belongs

Bella signorina,
