Nobody — well, me — is looking for this movie, but when you’re trying to watch every Jess Franco movie, you hunt down so many films, and then you get to them and wonder, what have you really learned? Is, as Lemmy taught me, the chase better than the catch? This film has no story, just coupling after coupling in

The cast includes Lina Romay (you knew that), Antonio Mayans (probably figured that) and Mabel Escaño. It all takes place in the beds of a hospital, which was simple to film as it could be any room. The hospital dirty movie makes so much sense, as it’s a place close to death and where we often turn to what keeps us alive when confronted by the void.

According to the I’m In a Jess Franco State of Mind site, “problems with producer Emilio Larraga (Golden Films) ruined many projects such as El Rinoceronte Blanco, Teleporno…” and this movie. That, along with the movie Franco produced, iBiba La Banda!, and losses on Phollastia and Phalo Crest, caused Jess to make Dark Mission with Daniel Lesoeur.

Fly Story, as this is called, is one of the hardest Jess movies to find. I got this cover art from Trash Palace, which has it, but there’s not much info on it. But somehow, I found it, I watched it, and it is one of the many movies that brings me closer to watching every one of his films, which is, as they say, the only way to know Franco and appreciate him. From here on, the pickings become slim, and the hunt starts for movies that may not exist.

If you see me on the corner with a handwritten sign looking like an addict, it’s because I can’t find that copy of Blind Target and have resorted to sex work to get even a VHS of it. Please help.
