Vinegar Syndrome has detailed two upcoming Blu-ray releases: Bob Chinn's Hard Soap, Hard Soap/Disco Lady (1977-78), and Roberta Findlay's Justine (1980). The two releases will be available for purchase on January 28.
Justine
Synopsis: Teenage Justine has just learned that her father has died. Leaving her exclusive French boarding school and returning to the U.S., Justine goes to live with her estranged but extremely wealthy uncle Steven on his vast New England estate. Upon her arrival, the beautiful though naive Justine soon finds that she is an object of lust to all those she meets, man and woman alike. As she slowly unravels her own sensual desires and transforms from innocent virgin to voluptuous vixen, she begins to feel an unexpected type of emotional stirring: a desire for romance, which might just happen in the unlikeliest of circumstances.
One of director Roberta Findlay's (A Woman's Torment) most elegant erotic films, Justine: 'A Matter of Innocence' stars Hillary Summers (Star Virgin) in the title role, alongside Vanessa del Rio (The Dancers) and Christine De Shaffer (Pizza Girls). Lavishly photographed by Roberta Findlay, scored by Walter Sear (Dr. Butcher M.D.), and co-written by Cecil Howard (Firestorm), Justine is an erotic delight which makes it's Blu-ray debut from Vinegar Syndrome, newly restored from its original 35mm camera negative."
Special Features and Technical Specs:
Synopsis: Acclaimed filmmaker Bob Chinn is best remembered for his detective thrillers, but among his many talents was his ability to craft outrageously funny character driven comedies and tightly structured dramas. Presented here are two of his rarest and most entertaining such films.
Hard Soap, Hard Soap
Penny and Linda are two happy housewives who just can't help but want to solve everyone else's personal problems. But Penny has big problems of her own, namely with her psychiatrist husband, Dr. John Holmes, whose romantic abilities have been unbearably hindered. As Penny and Linda find themselves besieged by a never-ending supply of perverts, weirdos, and other types of misfits they decide it's time to take matters into their own hands to return their lives to idyllic suburban bliss. Hard Soap, Hard Soap is an imaginative and original satire of soap operas starring Candida Royalle, Laurien Dominique, John Holmes, Joan Devlon, and many more and has been newly restored in 2K.
Disco Lady
It's Friday night at the hottest disco in town. Everyone who's anyone will be there. But not everything is fun and games, and as the evening's guests arrive, a series of sensual deceptions, twists, and surprises unfold, leading up to a shocking and unexpected conclusion. Effectively combining low key comedy with a thriller oriented structure, Disco Lady stars Rhonda Jo Petty (Little Orphan Dusty) in her first role, alongside Mike Ranger and Rick Lutze and has been newly restored in 2K by Vinegar Syndrome."
