The crown jewel of sophisticated erotica, filmmaker Cecil Howard's COMMAND CINEMA presents lavish Blu-ray and 4K UHD editions of Howard's own masterworks, alongside those he produced with other hardcore auteurs such as Chuck Vincent, Roberta Findlay, and Armand Weston.
While hosting a masked orgy, socialite Scarlet is murdered by an unknown killer. Hired to investigate the case is put upon private dick Dexter Sleuth who immediately takes to interviewing the soiree’s various guests. From politicians, to gossip columnists, to broadway stars, to stag film producers, it seems that everyone had a motive to stick it to Scarlet, but who really did it? As the bumbling detective attempts to narrow down the suspect pool, the mysterious assailant decides to bump off Sleuth but, due to repeated unfortunate timing, leaves a trail of other corpses along the way!
Acclaimed filmmaker Chuck Vincent (Roommates, Misbehavin') teamed up with legendary producer Cecil Howard (Firestorm, Neon Nights) for this uproarious send-up to detective thrillers and hard-boiled whodunits. Featuring a cast of New York’s top 70s sex film stars including Kim Pope (The Intrusion), Darby Lloyd Rains (Chorus Call), Jennifer Jordan (Angela The Fireworks Woman), Eric Edwards (The Virgin & the Lover), and starring Teri Hall (The Story of Joanna) as the devious and deceased Scarlet, Command Cinema proudly presents this outrageous neo-noir on Blu-ray, newly restored in 4K from its 35mm camera negative.

Reviews
Sexxxy Whodunnit
"I have been entertained immensely by the films of Chuck Vincent, so far. Between this and the That Lucky Stiff/Bon Appetit double feature, you’re sure to enjoy the simple plots, the enthusiastic performers, and in this film, the take on the Agatha Christie mystery. It’s a good storytelling device to give the sex scenes structure, as Detective Sleuth questions each suspect before the final reveal of the killer. Command Cinema’s restoration looks pristine and it also comes with a booklet with incredible photos and a poster of the key art."
— Francisco W. (3/5)
Who Slew Auntie Roo?
"The artwork reminds me of another film, although thankfully the actresses in this are much younger than Shelley Winters in that movie! This is a very well produced and beautifully shot whodunnit send up from Cecil Howard (Howard Winters). The erotic scenes aren't all that unusual, but he always makes people look great (the complete opposite of those grotty porn shorts etc. ). It's pretty funny in places too. . . if you were just watching the non-adult scenes, you'd be forgiven for thinking this was a standard movie. Gorgeous slipcover on this one, which reflects the glossy feel of the movie itself. I rate this one pretty highly, as it's another example of just how classy some of the adult movies were back then."
— Sam N. (4/5)
Nice slip cover. Restoration looks
"Nice slip cover. Restoration looks great. Like the one sheet "poster" that was included. Would have liked more extras like a commentary track but overall a nicely packaged reissue."
— Tony F. (4/5)
Chuck Vincent, god
"Don’t watch the trailer! Great Chuck Vincent comedy whodunnit with a porno twist, and a twist at the end that I did not see coming. A good time. Fun art booklet and poster, the artwork overall is good."
— Ben C. (4/5)

"Absolute blast of a whodunnit style sex film. Another notch in the belt towards proving to folks that adult films are real films. Gorgeous restoration and amazing release all around."

Farewell Scarlet - Blu-Ray review
"The cover looks cheap. I don't like empty white backgrounds. As for the movie, I found it brilliant. It actually has a story with, you know, characters! Picture quality is great like always and in this kind of movie the subtitles are a huge plus in my book."
— NIKOS D. (5/5)
