(aka "Une femme spéciale" or "Le journal érotique d'un bûcheron" or "Diary of a Lumberjack")

 

directed by Jean-Marie Pallardy
France 1974

 

Lusty Nobel Prize winning Professor Muller (Jacques Insermini) flees the city for the countryside where he becomes a pimp called The Lumberjack and opens up an exclusive brothel. His son Jean-Marc (director Jean-Marie Pallardy) disapproves and just happens to fall for Isabelle (Willeke van Ammelrooy) who happens to be a police spy who abruptly switches sides ("Being a cop doesn't stop me from being a woman") when she discovers that the police are only concerned with the operation because it is attracting the top tier of beautiful girls away from Paris.

Comments

The image is anamorphic (the matting is suspect at times) but interlaced and probably analog PAL tape-sourced considering its softness, blooming, contrasts, and ghosting. Audio is hissy but audible.

The trailer for EMMANUELLE 3 should not be confused with the official Sylvia Kristel entry. Rather, like EMMANUELLE GOES TO CANNES (the other trailer), this is another of Pallardy's cash-ins. A competing release under the title EROTIC DIARY OF A LUMBERJACK also features a non-anamorphic but better-looking widescreen (1.66:1) transfer -- going by screencaps -- an hour-long interview with the director and three extended sex scenes.
