Check To The Queen (1969)


aka Scacco Alla Regina.

Highly stylized art exploitation movie from director Pasquale Festa Campanile.
 Young housewife Haydee Politoff agrees to be the personal maid to glamorous actress Rosanna Schiaffino while succumbing to increasingly frequent daydreams involving s&m/bondage.
 Becoming more and more submissive she eventually becomes a willing slave wanting nothing more from life than to serve her mistress.
 The two leads are both excellent in their sub/dom roles with Politoff managing to remain emotionless yet still conveying a sense of naive fragility, a complete opposite of the character she portrayed in Interrabang.
 All wrapped up in a suitably psychedelic lounge score from composer Piero Piccioni that is just fantastic this almost unknown film deserves to find a wider audienceand step out of the shadows of obscurity.
