Product Description

The FIRST EVER DVD RELEASE of this bizarre journey through the battle of the sexes. "Imagine you were making love to this girl. Imagine you were making love to this boy..." Celebrated filmmaker Antony Balch directs one of the most idiosyncratic and unforgettable British movies of all time - the film censor tried to stop! From beyond the grave, a 1,000-year-old mummy (voiced by Valentine Dyall) narrates a series of kinky stories to illustrate the age-old battle of the sexes. From cosmic thrills, supernatural kinks and swining permissiveness, this is a boy versus girl in a hip, psychedelic mix of vintage glamour and grotesque horror. Now fully restored from the original negatives, Secrets of Sex features a cost of gorgeous young models including Sue Bond (The Benny Hill Show), Cathy Howard (School for Sex) and Nicola Austine (Come Play with Me) and is presented here completley uncut for the very first time in the UK. 'Disturbing' - The Times 'Freaky' - The Guardian 'Stylish, glossy, pop porno' Today's Cinema Starring: Valentine Dyall, Elliott Stein, Sue Bond, Cathy Howard and Nicola Austine Director: Antony Balch Date of Release: 1970 Certification: 18 Extras: Audio Commentary with Producer Richard Gorden, Original Theatrical Trailer, Interview with Write Elliott Stein, 2 Antony Balch Short Films (The Cut-Ups & Towers Open Fire) & Best of British Trailers

3.0 out of 5 starsEverything you didn't want to know about sex.......
By Mr. Jonathon T. Beckett on 3 Feb. 2010
Verified Purchase
Director Anthony Balch also released this film under the more apt title of 'Bizarre'. Okay, I've seen quite a few very strange films in my time, but witnessing a 1000 year old mummy narrating a series of extremely odd tales illustrating the ongoing battle of the sexes is a pretty unique viewing experience. Just maybe not a very satisfying one.
Thats a little unfair of me really. The sleeve notes that accompany this release shed a bit more light on the circumstances of the film, stating that Balch wanted to make an erotic/horror anthology very much in the style of the ones Amicus studios were releasing at the time, but it seems budgetary limitations overcame Balch's ambition. What we have here is a bit of a mess. The various tales that the Mummy, voiced by Valentine Dyall narrates encompass a multitude of genres from a spy spoof to a parody of a sex film via a couple of genuine horror segments. In fact the whole film does have a parodic feel to it. The stories that do come off best however are the straight horrors, one concerning a lesbian photographer taking rather too much enjoyment in the suffering of her model, and the other tells the story of an elderly businessman who desires a son to replace the one he lost in a car accident. His much younger wife obliges, but sometimes you should be careful what you wish for. I must add that even the humourous segments do have an uneasy feel to them .
One thing that is for certain is that this release does the film justice, as its a lovely transfer, and there are two short films on the disc that were collaborations between Balch and William Burroughs. After this film Balch would go on to direct one more feature length film, the wild and wonderful 'Horror Hospital' which was a real triumph for Balch.Read more ›

1.0 out of 5 starsREVENGE OF THE MUMMY
By The Movie Guy TOP 500 REVIEWER on 3 Jan. 2015
"Secrets of Sex" and "Bizarre" are the same film. There are a number of scenes known as "skirmish battles of the sexes." It is heavily narrated by a mummy (Valentine Dyall) who sounds a bit like Christopher Lee. It appears he is in some sort of purgatory where he watches the skirmishes from time to time. These short tales lack entertainment value and dialogue of any value.

Some versions include 2 black and white extras by William S. Burroughs. They are difficult to watch, one includes the F-bomb and the a white guy saying the N-word. Horrors! Oh where is Melissa Harris-Perry!

This was the age before silicon and tuck. Women sag, show scars, and have cheesy butts. Fair transfer to DVD

5.0 out of 5 starsMore than meets the eye.
By Joe McAllister on 29 Mar. 2015
Verified Purchase
The salacious title may give rise to erroneous expectations about the films content and intentions. It certainly did for me when I first saw this at a late night screening at my local cinema way back when but I wasn't disappointed. British exploitation cinema had something of a golden age in the '70's when independent producers could get their films distributed and exhibited and see a return. Today distribution and exhibition is essentially run by and for Hollywood so this level of production wouldn't make it into cinemas.
At the time the director ,Anthony Balch, was also a distributor and exhibitor and therefore able to guarantee it was shown and aware that the film was sold on the trailer and poster but this work has little in common with the others competing in the field. Depending on your point of view this has ambitions or pretensions to be a real film. Balch was obviously a cineaste and had created a number of avant garde films mainly in collaboration with William Burroughs, author of Naked Lunch, Junkie and The Soft Machine et al whose artistic cult credentials are well established.Two of these are included on the disc. It is probably best viewed in the light of its artistic credentials today. The humour and content in "Secrets of Sex" is much more intellectual than the original audience may have required but it doesn't seem to have hampered its box office.The nudity and horror content is mild by current standards. As has been noted by other reviewers the original title "Bizarre" is more appropriate but would probably have attracted fewer punters.
Balch went on to make "Horror Hospital" another cult film with subversive elements. Sadly he died before he could produce more so his full potential was never revealed.
The transfer is good and there is an entertaining commentary track by Balch's producer Richard Gordon.

4.0 out of 5 starsBizarre and fun.
By Mistymisterwisty on 30 Dec. 2015
Verified Purchase
Crazy, disjointed and genuinely repulsive at times. At times it resembles a fantastical comic strip in a porn magazine. However, it is completely, addictively watchable. A really twisted treat that goes far beyond most horror anthologies.
