The good folks over at beloved Severin Films have let me know that their much anticipated DVD release of director Walerian Borowczyk's IMMORAL WOMEN has already run into trouble with the close-minded. Apparently one day after it's street date, at least one big US retailer has refused to stock the title, citing its 'offensive' packaging. The image in question? A lovely, soft-focus image of a woman pleasuring herself with a fluffy white bunny. For the record, I find it classy and in quite good taste, and more than a little amusing. Severin are currently considering a toned-down cover for future pressings, so run to your nearest DVD retailer and snag yourself a copy!

Further proof that no good act goes unpunished, the facility that creates Severin's subtitles also recently ejected both the regular AND European cuts of EMANUELLE AROUND THE WORLD from their facility due to 'inappropriate content'. We can only pray this doesn't necessitate a delay in the 3/27 street date of BLACK EMANUELLE'S BOX.
