Motel Confidential exploitation roughie scene
A key scene from "Motel Confidential" (1967) that illustrates the shift in sexploitation films from voyeuristic comedies to hard-edged "roughies" that followed in the wake of "Olga's House of Shame", et al. This film is a typical, light-hearted nudie-cutie about various couples shacking up at a motel. However, this one scene of a con artist couple is from another world entirely. A sexual sadist gives his girlfriend a belt whipping and hand spanking as foreplay. An out of place moment that appears to be a concession to the hard-boiled roughies that were replacing the old-style nudies which began in the late '50s. Director A.C. Stephens (pseud) specialized in sexploitation including the classic horror-nudie "Orgy of the Dead" (1965) written by friend and business partner Ed Wood. He and Wood made a string of forgotten softcore sex films in the '60s and '70s until Wood's untimely death in 1978. To see more vintage clips and trailers in this series, search for "fetish film"
