Retromedia resurrects I, MARQUIS DE SADE (review)

Long lost and only recently discovered from a lone print in Sweden, I, MARQUIS DE SADE tells the story of Donald, a bookish translator who learns that he is dying from cancer and decides to embrace the philosophies of the historical figure whose name was coined for the term sadism.  Setting himself up with a walrus of a sugar mama, Donald pursues a number of beautiful young women for his carnal and possibly murderous delights.  Written and directed by Richard Hilliard (THE LONELY SEX), writer and cinematographer of the Del Tenney productions CURSE OF THE LIVING CORPSE and HORROR OF PARTY BEACH.
