Death comes to take a beautiful young girl, and she persuades him to let her live out her fantasies before he finally takes her away.
This is low-budget filmmaker Larry Buchanan’s “tribute” to Ingmar Bergman. The plot has to do with a poor girl named Erica (Monica Gayle), who engages in various sexual encounters until Death (Les Tremayne) takes her away — but not before we manage to see her in various (and frequent) stages of nudity. Buchanan claims that this film played in Texas as a Bergman film, and nobody knew the difference — which could explain why actual Bergman films have never been very popular in Texas.
Whether the particular film was any good or not, Monica Gayle was always worth watching ! Underrated also: you could for example see her (uncredited) cameo in “The Stewardesses”, or her work in “Sandra: The Making of a Woman”, or particularly in “Switchblade Sisters”, without being certain that it was in fact the same actress.
