Romina (daughter of Tyrone) Power plays the title character in this unusually well-appointed Jess Franco production. In a stand-out hot iron scene, the heroine is captured by two fey, 18th century dandies who tie her to a tree and accuse her of murder. A metal poker conveniently tipped with an M brand is heated in a wood fire, then used to burn the letter into the girl‘s chest – leaving her with a rather large and nasty tattoo as she slumps unconscious in her bonds. Although Romina has no qualms about displaying her pert breasts elsewhere in the film, her open shirt keeps them annoyingly hidden here. Otherwise, this is a near-perfect scene thanks to the gorgeous victim and high production values. VIDEO LINK
