PRODUCT INFORMATION

One of the most acclaimed directors of 1960s sexploitation cinema, Joe Sarno practically reinvented the genre with his heady and atmospheric character dramas and thrillers. Presented here is one of his most iconic directorial efforts paired with one of his earliest, both restored from their 35mm camera negatives.

Perpetually flirtatious Ellen has been kicked out of boarding school and thrown out of her home. With nowhere else to go, she takes a job as a maid at her alcoholic Aunt Connie’s hotel, only to be lured back into unscrupulous carnal escapes. With a cast including Sarno favorites Patricia McNair, Judson Todd, and his future wife, Peggy Sarno (Peggy Steffans), THE BED AND HOW TO MAKE IT (1966) epitomizes Sarno’s acclaimed noirish visuals (courtesy of cinematographer Bruce Sparks) while also being the first film ever produced by Distribpix itself!

June, a beautiful, yet naive, young art student is lured into a relationship of unbridled lust by a suave older artist named Najlas Sarto. NUDE IN CHARCOAL (1961) is set in Greenwich Village during its bohemian heyday of the early 1960s, Sarno worked as co-director to Phil Melillo. Starring early New York TV personality Sally Ardrey and stage actor Richard Kronold in the leads while also featuring the first-know screen appearance by sexploitation actress and model Rita Bennett and an acting turn from future Hollywood producer Burtt Harris, Distribpix Inc. and Something Weird are proud to offer the home video debut of this long lost, career starting sexploitation treasure.

No, we only ship inside the US

Most orders for in-stock items take less than 24 hours to ship (may take longer if you place an order over the weekend). Pre-orders are shipped as soon as the product arrives. International pre-orders may not come in before the street date. This is especially true with Australian pre-orders.

We only use USPS for all shipments. If there is an issue after your order ships you will need to contact your local post office.

Product

All items that come with a slipcover will say so in the product page.

Pre-orders will not say WITH SLIPCOVER until the product comes in.

Slipcovers are not guaranteed to be in mint condition.

If you can order it, it's either in stock or a pre-order. If an item is out of stock you will not be able to add it to your cart. It's rare but our inventory may not be correct. So in some cases an item may have to be shipped separately.
