JESS FRANCO MONTH: El fontanero, su mujer, y otras cosas de meter… (1981)

El fontanero, su mujer, y otras cosas de meter… (The plumber, his wife, and other things to mess with…) is not a Jess Franco-directed movie, but it does feature his muse, Lina Romay and was directed and written by Carlos Aured, the director of Horror Rises from the Tomb, The Mummy’s Revenge and Blue Eyes of the Broken Doll. If you watch Euro horror, sooner or later, the same actors and filmmakers that you enjoy will inevitably do adult films. You should not be offended and be happy they could keep making films and money from them).

Mario (Ricardo Díaz) is a plumber continually offered favors by every woman he works for. He loves his wife (Montserrat Prous, Un silencio de tumbaDemon Witch Child), so he turns them all down. Then, he catches her in bed with his best friend and decides to start taking what is offered. And when one of the ladies is his best friend’s wife (Lina), this seems like the best way to get back at those who did him wrong.

Imagine an Italian sex comedy, only with Lina wearing a man out so completely that she has to use a toilet plunger to get off.

Aured also made Apocalipsis sexual with Sergio Bergonzelli (Blood Delirium), which was shot in both explicit and R-rated versions. Aured discovered that the Spanish porn industry had not yet learned the secrets of staying performer ready and rigid; these days, Viagra solves this.
