Aristide Massaccesi (15 December 1936 – 23 January 1999), known professionally as Joe D'Amato, was a highly prolific[1] Italian film producer, director and cinematographer[2] who worked in many genres (westerns, decamerotici, peplum, war films, swashbuckler, comedy, fantasy, postapocalyptic film, and erotic thriller) but is best known for his horror, erotic and adult films.[3][4]
In the horror genre, he is above all remembered for his films Beyond the Darkness (1979), Antropophagus (1980) and Absurd (1981).[5] Among his best known erotic films are his four entries into the Black Emanuelle series of films starring Laura Gemser (1976-1978)[6] and his horror/pornography crossover films Erotic Nights of the Living Dead and Porno Holocaust (both 1980).[7]
D'Amato worked in the 1950s as technician and set photographer, in the 1960s as camera operator, and from 1969 onwards as cinematographer. Starting in 1972, he directed and co-directed around 200 films under numerous pseudonyms, regularly acting as cinematographer as well. Starting in the early 1980s, D'Amato also produced many of his own and other directors' films through the companies he founded or co-founded, the best known being Filmirage.
Biography
Early life and work
Joe D'Amato was born on December 15, 1936 in Rome, Italy.[3] He was the son of a chief photographic technician.[8] D'Amato began his work in film at the age of 14. He assisted in the dubbing of Italian film productions[8] and designed title and end credits with Eugenio Bava, cutting the letters out by hand.[9] In 1952, D'Amato worked as a still photographer on the set of The Golden Coach[8] and eventually moved on to work as a camera operator on numerous films including Mario Bava's Hercules in the Haunted World.[8][9]
First work as cinematographer and director (1969-1975)
In 1969, Piero Livi's Pelle di bandito and Silvio Amadio's No Man's Island (Italian: L'Isola delle Svedesi) were D'Amato's first films as cinematographer.[9][8] In the next few years, D'Amato continued to work as cinematographer on Italian productions such as Umberto Lenzi's A Quiet Place to Kill, Massimo Dallamano's What Have You Done to Solange?[8] and some of Demofilo Fidani's low-budget spaghetti westerns.[10]
D'Amato took on the role of director for the first time in 1972. He started out with a number of small western films and decamerotici which he partly directed, partly co-directed [11] before going on to direct the war film Heroes in Hell and the gothic horror film Death Smiles on a Murderer (1973), both starring Klaus Kinski[12]. D'Amato briefly relinquished directing and reverted to cinematography in films such as Luigi Batzella's The Devil's Wedding Night[13], Steve Carver's The Arena[14] and Alberto De Martino's The Antichrist.[13] When D'Amato was in Canada shooting a sleigh ride for Lucio Fulci's Challenge to White Fang, the film's producer Ermanno Donati asked him to stay and direct the adventure film Red Coats for him[15][16], in which D'Amato used the pseudonym "Joe D'Amato" for the first time.[17] It turned a good profit, and D'Amato later considered it his best film in this period.[18]
The Emanuelle series (1975-1977)
Emanuelle's Revenge (1975), which D'Amato co-directed with Bruno Mattei (who remains uncredited because D'Amato was a "rising name"),[19] was one of several films following the successful French erotic film Emmanuelle.[20] In retrospect, it was also a kind of turning point in D'Amato's career, being his first pornographic film - though still softcore.[19]
At this time, producer Bitto Albertini introduced Laura Gemser to D'Amato who would star in a series of six Black Emanuelle films. Although the main character's name alluded to the original French Emmanuelle, it was spelled slightly differently in order to avoid a plagiarism lawsuit.[21] Also, the character itself is different: Black Emanuelle is an international reporter and photographer who travels to exotic locations.[20] Black Emanuelle (1975), the first film of the series, was directed by Albertini [22], while the remaining five films were D'Amato's work,[21] who added some violence and horror to the series such as the fake snuff film footage in Emanuelle in America[23], a gang rape scene in Emanuelle Around the World (1977) [24], and the cannibal film Emanuelle and the Last Cannibals[25].[13] As D'Amato later remembered, this "was a very good period in my life. Movie business was very | good. We travelled round the world, finding new and fascinating locations for our movies."[26]
The Caribbean phase (1978-1979)
In 1978, D'Amato went to Santo Domingo for the first time, where he started to shoot the erotic horror film Papaya, Love Goddess of the Cannibals in May[27] and the mercenaries at war film Tough to Kill in September.[28][29] In mid-October 1978, D'Amato started work on the nunsploitation film Images in a Convent[30][31] and continued in 1979, which was to become a particularly productive year,[32] by directing the violent erotic thriller Il porno shop della settima strada on location in New York,[33] both films produced by Franco Gaudenzi's company Kristal Film.[29]
From late June to early July 1979, D'Amato went to South Tyrol to shoot and direct the horror film Buio Omega starring Kieran Canter and Cinzia Monreale, a remake of Mino Guerrini's The Third Eye[34][34][32][35] produced by Dario Rossetti and Ermanno Donati with music by Goblin.[36]
Immediately afterwards, D'Amato left a second time for Santo Domingo[37] where he started with the erotic drama Paradiso blu starring Anna Bergman and Lucia Ramirez and the voodoo-themed Orgasmo nero (Sex and Black Magic) starring Ramirez, Susan Scott and Richard Harrison before continuing to shoot two films combining hardcore pornography and horror - Porno Holocaust and Le notti erotiche dei morti viventi (Erotic Nights of the Living Dead) - as well as the hardcore thriller Hard Sensation, the adult revenge film Porno Esotic Love, and Sesso Nero.[38][39][21][40]
First work as producer (1980-1982)
The voodoo-themed Sesso Nero (Exotic Malice) starring Mark Shannon and Annj Goren was the last film D'Amato shot in the Caribbean, at the end of 1979, and the first of the Caribbean group of films to receive a cinematic release. It was also the first film D'Amato produced on his own through his newly founded company, P.C.M. (Produzioni Cinematografiche Massaccesi).[41]
After his return from the Caribbean, D'Amato also co-founded Filmirage and used the companies to produce and direct the gore film Antropophagus (1980, produced through P.C.M. and Filmirage) and its follow-up, the slasher film Absurd (1982, co-produced by Filmirage and Metaxa), both of which starred George Eastman and later became cult films for fans of extreme cinema.[42][43][44][29]
D'Amato also founded and co-founded two further production companies "Cinema 80" and "M.A.D." (an acronym for [Aristide] Massaccesi, Alessandroni, and [Donatella] Donati) on January 15, 1980 and January 9, 1981, respectively. For M.A.D., Alessandroni, an engineer, provided the funding, while his son acted as producer on set; Donatella Donati, the daughter of Ermanno Donati, became his assistant.[29]
The two companies were the main vehicles for D'Amato's film production of this period. From 1980 until 1982, D'Amato produced 14 hardcore pornographic films through both companies (Cinema 80: 9 films, M.A.D.: 5), 10 of whom he directed and lensed himself, while 3 films (Blue erotic climax, Labbra vogliose and Le porno investigatrici) were directed by Claudio Bernabei.[29] For legal reasons, Bernabei's pseudonym Alexander (or Alexandre) Borsky was used for almost all directorial credits, but the films were for the most part directed by D'Amato himself.[29] One notable exception was Porno video (1981; sometimes: Pornovideo), which was directed entirely by Giuliana Gamba (under the pseudonym Therese Dunn).[45] It was the first film D'Amato produced for another director - a practice he would start expanding six years later in his Filmirage period.[46] Il succo del sesso (1982; a punning title which can mean both "The Essence of Sex" and "The Juice of the Sex") was the only film directed but not produced by D'Amato, being a "Promo Film" production of Giovanni Perrucci's.[47]
The Cinema 80 and M.A.D. films had mostly generic titles such as Super climax, Super hard love and Voglia di sesso (literally: Lust for Sex), but a group of three films produced through Cinema 80 stands out. In 1981, building on Tinto Brass's Caligula (1979), D'Amato produced, shot and directed Caligula...la storia mai raccontata (English title: Caligula - The Untold Story) in a hardcore and a softcore version, starring David Brandon, Laura Gemser and Gabriele Tinti. It recounted the final days of the Roman emperor Caligula and was followed by two purely hardcore pornographic films - Una vergine per l'impero romano and Messalina orgasmo imperiale - in which D'Amato reused sets and costumes from the first film, albeit on a significantly lower budget.[48] The three films were signed by D'Amato as director under different pseudonyms and released separately in December 1982 and May and July 1983. They have been called his "porno-peplum trilogy".[49]
Messalina orgasmo imperiale (shot in 1982) also happened to be the last film of this period.[50] Another hardcore film that D'Amato originally intended to shoot himself for producer Riccardo Billy in co-production with a Chinese company, Love in Hong Kong (1983, starring Mark Shannon and Marianne Aubert), ended up being entirely delegated to his assistant Bernabei for lack of time, who directed the film on location in Hong Kong.[51] It survives only in a truncated softcore version.[52]
The Filmirage years (1982-1993)
In 1980, D'Amato had taken over a company from producer Ermanno Donati. D'Amato had renamed the company to "Filmirage" and used it to produce his own and, from 1987 onwards, also other directors' films for the international market.[53]
In 1982, D'Amato used Filmirage to produce, shoot and direct the first film of the Ator series: Ator l'invincibile (Ator, the Fighting Eagle) starring Miles O'Keefe and Sabrina Siani, which was directly inspired by Conan the Barbarian. It was followed by Ator 2 - L'invincibile Orion (English titles: The Blade Master and Cave Dwellers) the following year, in which O'Keefe was flanked by Lisa Foster.[54]
In 1983 and 1984, D'Amato produced and shot the post-apocalyptic action films Endgame (1983) starring Al Cliver, George Eastman, Laura Gemser and Gordon Mitchell, which D'Amato directed alone, and 2020 Texas Gladiators (1984) starring Al Cliver and Sabrina Siani, which D'Amato co-directed with George Eastman. The films follow the success of Mad Max (1979) and Mad Max 2 (1981).[55]
In 1984 and early 1985, D'Amato briefly reactivated his company M.A.D. to produce 10 hardcore pornographic films, all of which were directed by Luca Damiano and starred Marina Hedman. D'Amato is reported to have collaborated on some of these himself as well, although it remains speculative in which function and on which ones.[29] Later in 1985 D'Amato left hardcore pornography behind and for a period of eight years exclusively shot softcore and horror films.[56] According to an interview D'Amato gave in 1990, hardcore, as opposed to softcore, had only been profitable the first four years in the late 1970s and early 1980s while the novelty and controversy lasted.[57]
D'Amato began this hardcore-free period by directing four softcore dramas set during fascism in Italy and starring Lilli Carati and Laura Gemser: L'alcova (The Alcove), Il piacere (The Pleasure), Lussuria (A Lustful Mind), and Voglia di guardare (Midnight Gigolo). The four films recall the style and themes of Tinto Brass's La chiave (The Key) while their plots and characters are not interconnected in any way.[58]
There followed a phase in which D'Amato directed softcore films predominantly in the United States, often takes on popular American films.[55] First, he went to New Orleans to produce and shoot two films starring Jessica Moore as the novelist Sarah Asproon: 11 Days 11 Nights (1987) and Top Model (1988).[59] 11 Days 11 Nights was inspired by Adrian Lyne's film 9½ Weeks but reversed the roles with the woman being the dissolute character;[60] it was a commercial success.[61] In 1989, D'Amato's main actress was Valentine Demy with whom he produced and directed Afternoon and Dirty Love, the latter reminiscent of another of Adrian Lyne's films, Flashdance.[62] After these, D'Amato produced and directed two erotic dramas with Tara Buckman: Blue Angel Cafe and High Finance Woman.[63]
Beyond producing his own softcore films, D'Amato also used Filmirage to produce other directors' films:[46] Michele Soavi's debut Stage Fright, Deran Serafian's Interzone, Umberto Lenzi's Ghosthouse (La casa 3) and Hitcher In The Dark, Fabrizio Laurenti's Witchery (La casa 4) and The Crawlers, George Eastman's Metamorphosis, Claudio Fragasso's Troll 2 and Beyond Darkness (La casa 5), Franco Molé's The Room of Words, and Lucio Fulci's Door to Silence.[55][64]. D'Amato not only produced, but also partially directed the horror film Killing Birds and but for the first scene directed the sharksploitation drama Deep Blood.[65]
At the beginning of the 1990s, D'Amato revisited his Ator series with a concluding entry entitled Quest for the Mighty Sword.[66] Then, he let the character of Sarah Asproon return in 11 Days 11 Nights 2, again set in New Orleans and this time played by Kristine Rose.[67]. With Rose as protagonist, D'Amato also directed Passion's Flower, a remake of The Postman Always Rings Twice, before shooting two softcore films starring Carmen di Pietro in 1991, both with a more violent angle than the preceding ones: Devil in the Flesh follows a group of mercenaries who encounter some nurses at an isolated hospital, and Dangerous Obsession tells of a woman who turns the tables on her assailant.[68][69] After these, D'Amato directed Frankenstein 2000 (1992), his last horror film, which combined a modern take on the traditional Frankenstein story with elements of the rape and revenge film.[70]
In 1993, inspired by the success of the Chinese erotic comedy Sex and Zen (1991), D'Amato then went to the Philippines to shoot a number of Asian themed softcore films, for which he often used Chinese pseudonyms.[71] Among them are such diverse films as Chinese Kamasutra, China and Sex and I racconti della camera rossa, the latter two structurally reminiscent of Italian decamerotici.[71]
Later work and death (1993-1999)
Later in 1993, D'Amato went back to predominantly producing and directing hardcore pornography. [72] In order to return to adult filmmaking more easily, D'Amato initially teamed up with Luca Damiano, with whom he shot roughly 20 films before continuing on his own.[73] Although VHS had become the standard for adult films, D'Amato continued to shoot on 35mm film for a few years before finally transitioning to VHS for his last productions in 1997 and 1998.[74]
D'Amato's adult films are very rarely without a plot. Among his best known from this period are his collaborations with Rocco Siffredi (Tarzan X - Shame of Jane, Marco Polo, Marquis de Sade, Torero) and Kelly Trump (Messalina, Kamasutra, Lolita), his pornographic versions of Shakespearean drama (Juliet & Romeo, Anthony and Cleopatra, Othello 2000), westerns (Outlaws, Calamity Jane), swashbucklers (Raiders), the bible (Sodom & Gamorra), Greco-Roman mythology (Olympus, Amor & Psyche, Ulysses, Hercules - A Sex Adventure), Roman emperors (Nero - Orgy of Fire, Caligula - The Deviant Emperor) and other famous people (Robin Hood, Goya, Amadeus Mozart, Thief of Love - Giacomo Casanova, Rudy - Valentino's story, Scarface).[75] Two recurring actresses in his films from 1996 to 1999 were Selen (Raw & Naked, Queen of the Elephants, Sahara, and Selen the Girl from Treasure Island) and Eva Henger, with whom he shot the time travel films Experiences and Experiences 2, a trilogy on the capital sins, Phantom (using footage from the silent film The Phantom of the Opera), and Showgirl.[76]
In between shooting adult films from 1994 to 1999, D'Amato also made four attempts at returning to genre films. In 1995, he directed the erotic drama Provocation set in the Italian countryside of the 1930s starring Erika Savastani,[77] and in 1997 the erotic comedy Top Girl set in and around an American TV station[77] and the erotic thriller The Hyena starring Cinzia Roccaforte, which received a limited theatrical release in Italy.[78][79] In 1998, D'Amato directed the swashbuckler I predatori delle Antille starring Anita Rinaldi.[80]
Joe D'Amato died of a heart attack in Rome on January 23, 1999.[81] According to Luigi Cozzi, his death happened unexpectedly while he was busy preparing a new film.[82] His last film was the adult film Showgirl (1999), a take on Paul Verhoeven's Showgirls (1995).[80][83][84]
Names under which D'Amato is credited
Birthname
Throughout his career, D'Amato used his birthname Aristide Massaccesi only once for a directorial credit, namely for Death Smiles on a Murderer (1973).[18] However, it was regularly used for other credits. For his first work as camera operator, it was the only name he was credited with, and as cinematographer, writer of stories and scriptwriter, he credited himself or was credited with it regularly until the early 1980s.[85]
Pseudonyms
The first pseudonyms used by Aristide Massaccesi were his actor's credits in the spaghetti westerns Straniero... fatti il segno della croce! (1968) and Dead Men Don't Make Shadows (1970), for which he used puns on his birthname: Ariston Massachusetts and Arizona Massachusset, respectively.[86][87]
His best known pseudonym is the anglicized Joe D'Amato, which he first adopted as director of Giubbe Rosse (1975).[8] In 1991, D'Amato stated he had discovered the name in some calendar and chosen to use it because it sounded promising: In its mixture of American and Italian, it was similar to those of Brian de Palma and Martin Scorsese.[57] Joe D'Amato became the name Massaccesi was most associated with, even more than his birth name.[8] D'Amato used this main pseudonym exclusively for credits as producer and director and not for credits as cinematographer or writer.
The pseudonym Federiko Slonisko, sometimes also spelled Federico Slonisco or any mixture of these two spellings (including the short form Fred and several other mis- or variant spellings), was regularly used for D'Amato's work as cinematographer starting in 1982.[88]
The pseudonyms Federico Slonisco Jr. and Dan Slonisko (including variant spellings) are also sometimes considered to belong to D'Amato.[89][90] However, D'Amato's son Daniele, a camera operator and cinematographer, started his career working for his father.[91][92]
The pseudonym Michael Wotruba was used as D'Amato's directorial credit on:
- Novelle licenziose di vergini vogliose (1973) - also screenplay[93]
- Pugni, pirati e karatè (1973)[94]
- Diario di una vergine romana (1973)[95]
- Heroes in Hell (1973) - also screenplay[95]
- The Arena (1974) - Italian version: director; international version: second unit director[93]
David Hills was used by D'Amato as directorial pseudonym on the following films:
- Caligola ... la storia mai raccontata (1981) - also screenplay[96]
- Ator, the Fighting Eagle (1982)[96]
- Ator 2 - L'invincibile Orion (1983)[97]
- Quest for the Mighty Sword (1990)[98]
- Frankenstein 2000 (1991)[99]
- I predatori delle Antille (1998)
David Hills was also used as directorial credit on an early announcement of Deep Blood (1989), but was exchanged by the allonym Raf Donato for the official release.[100] As producer, D'Amato used this pseudonym on Troll 2[101] and Interzone.[102]
For the last two films of D'Amato's "porno-peplum trilogy", Una vergine per l'impero and Messalina orgasmo imperiale (both released 1983), D'Amato used Dirk Frey as cinematographer and Robert Hall and O.J. Clarke as director, respectively.[49][103][50]
The directorial credit of Il succo del sesso (1983), which D'Amato directed, reads Gilbert Damiano.[104]
The pseudonym Peter Newton was used for D'Amato's credit as cinematographer on Paradiso blu (1980)[105] and his directorial credit on Absurd (1981).[96] For the latter, he also used Richard Haller for his credits as cinematographer and co-producer.[106] Kevin Mancuso was used for the directorial credit on 2020 Texas Gladiators (1982); D'Amato co-directed the film with George Eastman so it can be considered a pseudonym for both Eastman and D'Amato.[97] D'Amato used the name Dario Donati as director and editor on Convent of Sinners (1986)[107] and as director on Delizia (1986)[107].
The female pseudonym Joan Russell was used for D'Amato's directorial credit on Una tenera storia (1992).[108][109] It was also used not for D'Amato, but for Donatella Donati and Antonio Tentori as story and screenwriting credit in Frankenstein 2000 (1992).[109]
Allonyms
An allonym is distinguished from a pseudonym in that it is the actual name or pseudonym of a different person from the one who should be credited.
Romano Gastaldi, the pseudonym of Romano Scandariato, was used for the directorial credit on More Sexy Canterbury Tales (1972), which D'Amato directed while Scandariato was his assistant director[110], and for Fra' Tazio da Velletri (1973), which D'Amato left after a disagreement soon after the beginning of the shoot; Scandariato, his assistant, finished the film and was credited.[111]
Oskar Faradine, the pseudonym of Oscar Santaniello, was used for the directorial credit on A Bounty Killer in Trinity. The film was reportedly directed by D'Amato and Santaniello was the film's producer.[112] Lupi, however, in his monograph on D'Amato argues on qualitative grounds for Santaniello as actual director.[112]
Anna Bergman's name was also used for the directorial credit on Paradiso blu (1980). Bergman was the main actress, but D'Amato directed the film. Her name was used for the directorial credit because, according to Luigi Cozzi, the producer did not want it to be seen as an erotic film (for which D'Amato was already known at the time).[113]
Alexandre Borsky, sometimes spelled Alexander or Borski, was the pseudonym of Claudio Bernabei. Bernabei stated in an interview that he created it with Walerian Borowczyk's name in mind.[29] The Borsky pseudonym was used as directorial credit for 14 of the 15 films produced by D'Amato's companies M.A.D. and Cinema 80 from 1980 to 1982. Of these 14 films, Bernabei directed 3, D'Amato 11.[29] In 1993 and 1994, D'Amato briefly reactivated this name as directorial credit for a small number of adult films starring Luana Borgia which he directed while transitioning from softcore to hardcore again. According to an interview he gave in 1995, it was to camouflage his return.[114]
Lucky Faar (or Farr) Delly, sometimes wrongly listed as a pseudonym of Joe D'Amato[115], was in reality the pseudonym of Luciano Fardelli, who acted as administrator of D'Amato's production company M.A.D. in 1984 and 1985.[116] It was used as directorial credit for 10 films directed by Franco Lo Cascio; it is unclear in which of these films D'Amato acted as co-director.[29]
Raf Donato, a variant of Raffaele Donato's name, was used for the directorial credit on Deep Blood (1989). According to D'Amato, Donato had planned to direct the film, but only directed the first scene. D'Amato directed the rest of the film.[117]
Legacy
The Joe D'Amato Horror Festival, with the art direction of Paolo Ruffini, was held for the first time in Pietrasanta in April 2007.[118] It took place a second time in October and November 2014 in Livorno, moderated by Antonio Tentori.[119] Among the guests was D'Amato's son Daniele Massaccesi, who said that it was above all the passion for cinema, to never stop making films at any costs, that D'Amato wanted to pass on to the younger generation of filmmakers.[120]
The Italian film Hyde's Secret Nightmare (2011, directed by Domiziano Cristopharo) is dedicated to D'Amato.[121]

Notes
- ^ a Both D'Amato and Diego Spataro, who used the alias "Dick Spitfire", stated that D'Amato directed this film.[279][280]
- ^ b The credited director of Troll 2 was Claudio Fragasso under the pseudonym "Drake Floyd".[261]
- ^ c In his book on Italian horror directors, Louis Paul makes the unsourced statement that D'Amato "ended up finishing [Troll 2 and Troll 3] as director in an attempt to save the productions that even he deemed poorly filmed and unreleasable".[262] Regarding Troll 3, Lupi also states that D'Amato directed a part of it.[281] For Troll 2, Paul seems to be the only source for D'Amato's directorial involvement.
- ^ d The film's main director was Fabrizio Laurenti under the pseudonym "Martin Newlin".[282]
- ^ e The directorial credit of Top Girl varies. In Italian prints, it is credited to "Andrea Massai"; abroad, the credits read "Joe D'Amato".[247]
- ^ f The credits of Bounty Killer in Trinity list Oscar Santaniello as director under his pseudonym "Oskar Faradine". According to D'Amato himself, he directed the film, but let production manager Santaniello take the credit [279]. Bruckner lists Santaniello as producer and D'Amato as director,[137] and Curti, too, states that the film was "directed by Massaccesi but signed by Santaniello - one of several unsigned directing jobs Massaccesi took on before his official first feature".[142] Lupi, however, considers the movie to be of inferior quality and hence believes that Santaniello was truly the director whereas D'Amato, in his eyes, was only involved as cinematographer and writer.[283]
- ^ g More Sexy Canterbury Tales was directed by D'Amato, but the directorial credit went to assistant director Romano Scandariato under his pseudonym "Romano Gastaldi"; the English film credits "Ralph Zucker" as the director.[284]
- ^ h According to an interview given to the Italian magazine Nocturno by Romano Scandariato, who took the directorial credit under his pseudonym "Romano Gastaldi", D'Amato directed about one third of Fra' Tazio da Velletri before leaving production due to differences with the producers; Scandariato then finished directing the remaining two thirds.[139]
- ^ i As director of Mondo Erotico, only Bruno Mattei was credited; the pseudonym "Jimmy Matheus" was used. D'Amato directed the scenes with Laura Gemser that tie the vignettes together; he remained uncredited.[171]
- ^ j Both Enrico Biribicchi, who got the credit, and D'Amato claimed that they had acted as cinematographers on set.[53]
- ^ k These 10 films, the so-called "Lucky Faar Delly" series (shot from April 1984 to February 1985), were all produced by D'Amato through his M.A.D. production company, were all directed by Luca Damiano, and all starred Marina Hedman.[116] D'Amato occasionally contributed to the series as co-director, although the extent to which he did remains unclear.[116] In Sesso allo specchio, film critic R. D'Amato observes the use of hand-held camera, which is otherwise not present in the Faar Delly series, as sign of D'Amato's possible involvement.[285]
- ^ l Smith lists La chiave del piacere as an alternate title to Wendee, la chiave del piacere and states that "according to some sources Massaccesi is the screenwriter".[286]
