Severin Films has announced that it will release standard Blu-ray editions of The Wild, Wild World of Jayne Mansfield (1968) and Mondo Balordo (1967). The two releases will be available for purchase on July 28.
The Wild, Wild World of Jayne Mansfield
Synopsis: From producer Dick Randall (ESCAPE FROM WOMEN'S PRISON, PIECES) comes the notorious Mondo mash-up in which a Jayne Mansfield sound-alike narrates footage of Jayne being chased by paparazzi in Rome, wearing bikinis in Cannes and partying with drag queens in Paris, before suddenly veering into graphic photos of her horrific accident and a posthumous tour of her Hollywood mansion. Mickey Hargitay co-stars in this "deranged kaleidoscope of titillating insanity" (Film Threat), scanned from the 35mm Something Weird archival print.
Special Features and Technical Specs:
Synopsis: In one of the most infamous Mondo movies of all, host Boris Karloff guides you through a world "throbbing and pulsing with love, from the jungle orgies of primitive tribes to sin-filled evenings of the London sophisticate." Along the way, you'll also experience Bedouin pimps, amorous dwarves, Spanish transvestites, German lesbians, Indian exorcists, Neapolitan cigarette smugglers, and Chinese bondage models, now scanned in 4k from the original negative.
