Emmanuelle 5

B-legend and Dec. 1983 Penthouse Pet of the Month Monique Gabrielle's first lead role. She spent a considerable amount of time totally nude for this film, but she said in an interview years later that nudity has never been an issue for her. Gabrielle's father, a nudist, inspired his offspring to adhere to a "continental" attitude. Thus, she admits having few qualms when B-roles require the obligatory disrobement scenes. "I feel fine about nudity. In my mind, it's clean and there's no problem. Europeans think we're so uptight about nudity and sex, which most Americans are. When people suggest that sex or even nudity is 'dirty' it creates problems which is why we have perverts, rapists, and child molesters....What's really hypocritical about our rating system is a movie depicting graphic violence, usually inflicted upon women, may get a soft rating. But if a woman bares her breast or removes her clothing, a film is usually branded with an R rating."

The DVD version, though unrated, runs 73 minutes, 11 minutes shorter than the original. The cuts significantly reduce the explicit nature found in the original.
