Pulse Video is a France based, genre film focused boutique label which specializes in creating ultimate home video releases of cult and X rated films. Vinegar Syndrome’s sister company, OCN Distribution, is excited to help bring their extra features loaded editions across the Atlantic!

Richard Allan, the king of French Erotic Cinema, plays...the king of porn...affectionately nicknamed QUEUE DE BETON ("Concrete Cock") in this hilarious parody of what it takes to make a sex film. Uproarious dialogue and screwball sleaze are on the menu in Michel Caputo's (aka Beaudricrout) 1979 classic which also stars Liliane Allan, Karine Gambier and Marie-Claude Viollet.

In L’AUBERGINE EST BIEN FARCIE, Cathy Duprey takes a job as a meter maid and immediately discovers that her sexy outfit drives men wild! With the help of her colleague, Mika Barthel, they walk the streets of Paris exchanging tickets for pleasure. A delightful slapstick comedy, co-starring Richard Allan, this 1981 classic is a rare X film recorded with live sound, allowing you to hear the real voices of the cast.

Reviews

Il Etait Une Fois Richard Allan

"A great release from the French company Pulse of the 1979 X film, Il Etait Une Fois Richard Allan. This release comes with two titles: Queue De Baton, and L’Aubergine Est Bien Farcie."

— Jesus T. (5/5)

Warm, funny tribute to a cult star

"A really charming overview of Richard Allan’s career, mixing clips with a candid, engaging interview that shows both his humor and personality. The film selection gives a nice spread across different eras and styles, and the whole thing feels like a loving, well-curated tribute rather than a dry retrospective."

— Thomas L. (4/5)

"Rita" the saucy meter maid

"Who doesn't love a film featuring a meter maid. It's always funny to see a porn film version of the kind of 'saucy' film that was prevelant in the UK at the time. Got to wonder who inspired who. It includes a recent interview with the star that shows he was clearly having fun at the time and has no regrets, even making fun on his age induced infirmity non "concrete cock" now."

— Nicholas W. (5/5)

It Was a Time Indeed

"This duo of European films starring Richard Allan is an unexpected delight; his star power is in full force during Queue de Beton. Both attractive and confident (despite the dubbed voice), Allan commands the screen and his collaborators with joy. The batter scene alone is worth the price of admission."

— John T. (4/5)

Double Dose of French Classics

"A double dose of French erotica that are filled with beautiful euro chicks and Gallic sensibilities. Familiar faces populate both films, but it’s the incredibly gorgeous raven-haired, blue-eyed Cathy Dupre in Aubergine that makes this a must-have. Looking forward to more French films of this nature!"

— Francisco W. (3/5)

1 for 2

"Turned out to be a good bargain pickup as I enjoyed the second movie "L'aubergine est bien farcie" quite a bit. Cathy Dupre was very cute and likable and the rest of the female cast were nice to look at. For the first movie, "Queue de beton", I didn't think it was as good. The pancake mix scene was okay, I suppose. But TOOOOO much insipid talking during the sex scenes, and not funny. Went with the standard edition here as the cover art is pretty bad, particularly the slipcover. Seems to suggest an entirely different kind of movie."

— Adam C. (3/5)

A most excellent release.

"The release of this particular adult feature looks amazing and should fit the bill for open minded viewers seeking a little something extra from their movie watching experience."

— Mark H. (5/5)

A Classic!

""Queue de béton" is a classic, an 80s legend. I’m just happy to have it in my collection."

— Philippe D. (4/5)

Il Etait Une Fois Richard Allan review

"Two awesome French movies. He sure does have a dick of concrete! More French movies and European movies from the 70s please!"

— NIKOS D. (5/5)
