"The French Sex Murders" is my leading candidate for one of the worst titles ever! The literal translation "House Appointment" is equally idiotic, so I guess it doesn't matter!

I just got a brand new super-deluxe powerhouse computer, and Max high speed DSL, and it's all working together in harmony so well, that it can download an 11 MB file in 3 hours! It's really truly a miracle!!

Well, it's French, it's Sex, and it's Murders, so what better place to get some action that down at the local brothel and massage parlour, the world famous "Maison Collette!"

A rather over the hill Miss Sweden 1950, Anita Ekberg is the Big Mama in charge of the whole place!

Here's the whole reason this film is so much fun to watch, it's Robert Sacchi as Inspector Pontaine, and no, you're not seeing things, Robert is almost a dead ringer for Humphrey Bogart, and if that isn't enough, he even talks like Bogie too, and yes, he has used it to his advantage over the years, playing a Bogart like character in at least 6 other films or TV shows!

This is a Giallo film, so you are going to have more than your fair share of this kind maniacal surgery, of course!

It is literally impossible to have too many bizarre murders in a Giallo movie!!

Robert Sacchi was born in 1941 in The Bronx, so he probably came by that voice naturally!

The movie ends up right where it started, with a wild chase scene up and around The Eiffel Tower, and down the fast lane!!
