LA CITTÀ DELLE DONNE (1979) perhaps doesn’t really count. The opening credits list this as a Franco Rossellini Production for Felix Cinematografica. Guccione had contracted to fund this film, though underneath the Viva imprimatur, not below the Penthouse name. He appears to have raised cash for no less than a few of the preproduction, but then withdrew simply because 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 company Gaumont Italia launch it. Nonetheless, Guccione obtained a credit in the unique release prints, which was virtually instantly thereafter deleted. Franco’s credit score remains, regardless that he had nothing to do with the production correct. I think I do know why his name remained, though I can’t be sure as a result of the paperwork all appears to be missing. If you can fill me in, I’m all ears.

As you test across the reference sources, you'll discover quite a few different films and Tv applications that were introduced by Penthouse Productions or Penthouse Presentations or Penthouse One Presentations, but they'd nothing to do with Guccione. That was a distinct Penthouse, which predated Guccione’s use of the Penthouse trademark, and it has brought on a lot confusion. The non-Guccione Penthouse productions that I know 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 secret War of Jackie’s Girls (1980), and Dial 911 (aka The two Lives of Carol Letner, 1981). I spent several days of my life attempting to trace down information on these productions, and so I hate to delete my analysis, especially since somebody would possibly discover it useful.

After these makes an attempt to interrupt into the market, the Penthouse managers quickly halted actions they usually retired Penthouse Films International Ltd altogether. A number of years later the sands shifted. The executives determined to begin up again with a recycled title, Penthouse Productions, and they additional established Penthouse Home Video, and together these two entities unleashed quite a lot of videos for the home market. The titles printed 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 already know, the ones who tried to interrupt Nancy Kerrigan’s knee on 6 January 1994 so that Tonya would win the championship; well, they then sold 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 creating 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 movies. The titles inform me more than I have to know. Nonetheless I am curious in regards to the business aspect. What studios were used? What were the prices? Who supplied the funding? What was the promoting/release strategy? How well did these videos do? So for those who worked on any of these movies, I can be very happy to listen to from you!

After Penthouse’s bankruptcy, purchase, and reorganization in 2003-2004, the brand new regime determined to proceed and accelerate the Penthouse Productions actions. You possibly can see the result within the lists published at IMDb - Penthouse and at IMDb - Penthouse Home Video [us]. I haven't seen any of those later motion pictures, and, judging from their freakish titles, I would not wish to.

So now you already know a very small part of Penthouse’s secret history, the history that the old regime at Penthouse by no means wanted you to know about. Now that I’ve informed you about those secrets, why don’t a few of you tell me in regards to the lodge/convention-heart/residential project planned for Atlanta, Georgia; or the Penthouse Atlantic Hotel and Penthouse Casino planned for Atlantic City, New Jersey? Who needs to tell me about all of the magazines: Lords, Leisure, Longevity, Photo World, Forum, Viva, Omni, Variations, and any others? One magazine that the Penthouse group revealed, or maybe co-revealed, was Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Defense and Technology International. In response to Diane Reese’s article, "Penthouse: When Sex Doesn’t Sell," within the January 1987 version of Folio: The Magazine for Magazine Management, "The controlled-circulation publication, the company’s first, is aimed toward government and military personnel concerned in the planning of protection programs, each within the United States and abroad. A portion of its content material is dedicated to scholarly papers. It is the one journal dealing particularly with these three defense technologies, in response to Guccione. The Penthouse creator didn’t create this one, nonetheless. The concept was dropped at him by Evan Koslow, a Ph.D. and protection guide who is the magazine’s associate writer and government editor. But Guccione’s settlement to found it shows clearly that Penthouse nonetheless goes the place his curiosities lie." I had accomplished WorldCat searches prior to now and are available up empty-handed. But I just tried it once more now and discovered a couple of library holdings. Publication started sometime in 1986 and the writer is listed as NBC Defense International Ltd of latest York City. Oh how I would love to get the whole run for my collection! Who desires to tell me about Minotaur Press and Odyssey Press? Who needs to tell me about Newsconcorp? Who wants to tell me about the proposal for off-shore powerboat racing in the UK? Who wants to tell me in regards to the proposal to re-open Manhattan’s Copacabana Club? Who wants to tell me concerning the proposed London weekly and about the proposed Bravo? And what ever occurred 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'll be able to tell me. I won’t chew. Click right here to achieve me.
