LA CITTÀ DELLE DONNE (1979) perhaps doesn’t really depend. The opening credit listing this as a Franco Rossellini Production for Felix Cinematografica. Guccione had contracted to fund this film, although below the Viva imprimatur, not below the Penthouse name. He appears to have raised cash for at the least some of the preproduction, however then withdrew simply as the cameras were able to roll. Franco Rossellini’s cousin, Renzo, came to the rescue and had his company Opera Film coproduce it and his firm Gaumont Italia launch it. Nonetheless, Guccione acquired a credit in the unique release prints, which was nearly immediately thereafter deleted. Franco’s credit score remains, though he had nothing to do with the manufacturing correct. I believe I know why his title remained, although I can’t ensure because the paperwork all appears to be lacking. If you can fill me in, I’m all ears.

As you verify across the reference sources, you'll notice quite a few other motion pictures and Tv packages that have been offered by Penthouse Productions or Penthouse Presentations or Penthouse One Presentations, however they had nothing to do with Guccione. That was a special Penthouse, which predated Guccione’s use of the Penthouse trademark, and it has brought about a lot confusion. The non-Guccione Penthouse productions that I find out about are The secret Night Caller (1975), The Shari Show (1975/1976), Secrets of Three Hungry Wives (1978), The nice Cash Giveaway Getaway (aka The Magnificent Hustle) (1978-1980), The key War of Jackie’s Girls (1980), and Dial 911 (aka The two Lives of Carol Letner, 1981). I spent a number of days of my life trying to trace down information on these productions, and so I hate to delete my research, particularly since someone may find it helpful.

After these makes an attempt to break into the market, the Penthouse managers briefly halted actions they usually retired Penthouse Films International Ltd altogether. Just a few years later the sands shifted. The executives decided to start out up again with a recycled identify, Penthouse Productions, and they additional established Penthouse Home Video, and collectively those two entities unleashed plenty of videos for the house market. The titles revealed at IMDb - Penthouse, IMDb - Penthouse Productions [us], IMDb - Penthouse Home Video, IMDb - Penthouse Video, and IMDb - Bob Guccione don’t look too promising: Penthouse Love Stories (1986), Penthouse: Fast Cars Fantasy Women (1991), Desire (1991), Penthouse: Ready to Ride (1992), Virtual Photo Shoot: Volume One (1993), Tonya and Jeff’s Wedding Night (September 1994 - you recognize, those who tried to break Nancy Kerrigan’s knee on 6 January 1994 so that Tonya would win the championship; properly, they then bought this tape to Penthouse), Secret Lives (1994), Penthouse: 25th Anniversary Swimsuit Video (1994), Penthouse: Twenty fifth Anniversary Pet of the Year Spectacular (1994), Kama Sutra: The Art of making Love (1994), Kama Sutra II: The Art of making Love (1995), Penthouse: Pet Rocks (1995), Penthouse: The Wild Weekend with the Pets (1996), Penthouse: The Art of Massage (1996), Penthouse: Showgirls of Penthouse (1996), Penthouse Pet of the Year Play-Off 1996, Miami Hot Talk (1996), Sex Off the Runway (1996), Lipstick Girls (1997), Penthouse: Confessions (1997), Venus Descending (1997), Love Games (1998), ESP: Extra Sexual Perception (1998), Penthouse Girls of the Zodiac (1999), Penthouse Pet of the Year Play-Off 2001 (2000), Call Girl (2000), Fashion (2000), Penthouse: Harlots of Hell (2000), Dangerous Things (2000), Dangerous Things 2 (2000), Sex Opera (2000), Amy and Julie (2000), and Penthouse: Pets in Paradise (2001). I have not seen, and shall not see, any of these videos. The titles tell me more than I have to know. Nonetheless I'm curious in regards to the business side. What studios were used? What have been the prices? Who supplied the funding? What was the promoting/release strategy? How well did these movies do? So if you worked on any of these movies, I would be very happy to listen to from you!

After Penthouse’s bankruptcy, purchase, and reorganization in 2003-2004, the new regime decided to continue and speed up the Penthouse Productions actions. You'll be able to see the consequence in the lists revealed at IMDb - Penthouse and at IMDb - Penthouse Home Video [us]. I have not seen any of those later motion pictures, and, judging from their freakish titles, I wouldn't prefer to.

So now you know a very small part of Penthouse’s secret historical past, the historical past that the old regime at Penthouse by no means needed you to find out about. Now that I’ve instructed you about those secrets and techniques, why don’t some of you inform me concerning the resort/convention-middle/residential project planned for Atlanta, Georgia; or the Penthouse Atlantic Hotel and Penthouse Casino planned for Atlantic City, New Jersey? Who desires to inform me about all the magazines: Lords, Leisure, Longevity, Photo World, Forum, Viva, Omni, Variations, and any others? One magazine that the Penthouse group revealed, or maybe co-published, was Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Defense and Technology International. In accordance with Diane Reese’s article, "Penthouse: When Sex Doesn’t Sell," in the January 1987 edition of Folio: The Magazine for Magazine Management, "The managed-circulation publication, the company’s first, is aimed toward government and military personnel concerned within the planning of defense methods, both within the United States and abroad. A portion of its content is dedicated to scholarly papers. It's the one journal dealing particularly with these three protection applied sciences, based on Guccione. The Penthouse creator didn’t create this one, however. The concept was dropped at him by Evan Koslow, a Ph.D. and defense advisor who's the magazine’s associate writer and govt editor. But Guccione’s agreement to found it shows clearly that Penthouse still goes where his curiosities lie." I had executed WorldCat searches prior to now and come up empty-handed. But I just tried it once more now and discovered a couple of library holdings. Publication started someday in 1986 and the publisher is listed as NBC Defense International Ltd of recent York City. Oh how I would love to get your complete run for my collection! Who wants to inform me about Minotaur Press and Odyssey Press? Who desires to inform me about Newsconcorp? Who needs to inform me concerning the proposal for off-shore powerboat racing within the UK? Who needs to inform me in regards to the proposal to re-open Manhattan’s Copacabana Club? Who needs to tell me in regards to the proposed London weekly and in regards to the proposed Bravo? And what ever happened to PET Penthouse Entertainment Television Network that was scheduled for transmission via SelecTV? (See "Penthouse and SelecTV Team to Launch Adult Pay-See Tier," Daily Variety, Tuesday, 16 November 1982.) You possibly can tell me. I won’t chunk. Click right here to achieve me.
