It is only available on our website and at select indie retailers. Absolutely no major retailers will be stocking them.
San Francisco based Jim & Artie Mitchell were at the forefront of bringing the sexual revolution to American cinema. Working within their filmmaking collective known as Cinema 7, the brothers and their group of regular artistic collaborators created dozens of intelligent, thought provoking, and radically minded erotic feature and short films. Mitchell Brothers Film Group will bring their extraordinary body of work to Blu-ray and 4K UHD in deluxe, restored editions, many of which will be coming to disc for the first time.
At the height of their popularity, The Mitchell Brothers oversaw the production of what was arguably their most unusual film to date: a lavish period piece directed by Broadway star Sharon McKnight, and adapted from an notorious erotic novel -- THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A FLEA.
Teenage Belle lives in the bucolic French countryside, living a mostly pious life, until the learned Father Ambrose catches her engaged in a most indecent act. Promising to spare her scandal if she gives herself fully to service the needs of the church, Belle is soon indoctrinated to the carnal habits of the priesthood as Ambrose, along with Fathers Clement and Superior, instruct her in the art of giving pleasure. But when Belle’s lecherous uncle, M. Verbouc learns of the whole affair, he too begins to desire his niece’s sweet flesh…
A pastiche of hypocritical Victorian mores, THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A FLEA stars Jean Jennings (Defiance of Good), Annette Haven (All Night Long), Paul Thomas (Getting Personal), John Holmes (Prisoner of Paradise), and character actor John Tate (TV’s Dynasty, The Day of the Triffids). Effortlessly witty and lavishly produced, Mitchell Brothers Film Group is proud to bring this ribald classic to Blu-ray, newly restored and as an added bonus, the newly restored disc premiere of The Mitchell Brothers' 1976 rarity C.B. MAMAS starring Leslie Bovee (Take Off) and Desiree West (Sex World).
