88 Films disrobes for THE PLEASURE (review)

Frenchman Gerard had a long-standing affair with the beautiful Leonora that lasted through her multiple affairs, marriage with children, and even her secret life as a prostitute.  When she dies, he is left with the guardianship of her children, including Ursula who is the very image of her mother and who wants to relive her mother's erotic memories in this classy eighties effort from Joe D'Amato starring Gabriele Tinti, Lili Carati, and Laura Gemser.
