DISTRIBPIX, one of the legendary names in the genre (and whose extensive library will be the backbone of this line), will offer single, double, and even triple feature Blu-rays highlighting works from every corner and crevice of softcore smut, from the dawn of nudie cuties to the all-but-hard 70s, with plentiful lost and never on disc films along the way.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFew filmmakers epitomize the aesthetics of vintage Times Square cinema better than Michael Findlay. Often collaborating with his wife Roberta who served as cinematographer and occasional actor alongside him, the couple created sick and sordid classics which still retain their power to shock.

Forced into becoming their slave, Richard is soon subjected to all manner of depravity and torture, the likes of which he never even imagined.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUta Erickson winds up in rural Vermont looking for sexual kicks in THE ULTIMATE DEGENERATE, as she comes under the control of Michael Findlay playing a ruthless, insatiable sadist. With the help of his servant Bruno, he keeps a pack of women around the house acting out exceedingly stranger, more lurid kinks.
