 This is one of several films made to cash in on the success of the  Black Emanuelle film series created by Bitto Albertini (qv) and  continued by Joe DAmato (qv) and Bruno Mattei (qv). Though the  film stars Laura Gemser (qv) (the star of the Black Emanuelle  series) and she plays a character named Emanuelle (Emmanouella), it  has nothing to do with the photojournalist character Emanuelle from  the original series.
