Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaGabriele Tinti, a veteran of the industry active since 1952, noticed Laura Gemser as she was visiting the production office in Rome and they began a romance while shooting Black Emmanuelle in Kenya. Consequently, Gemser moved to Italy to stay with him. They married in 1976 and stayed that way until his death in 1991. Tinti starred with Gemser in all of her Emanuelle films, except for Emanuelle Around the World (1977). She admitted once that it was strange that they both had such a strong bond despite performing in several graphic sex scenes with other actors.
- GoofsThere are obvious body doubles during the hardcore scenes.
- Quotes
[Gianni tries to kiss Emanuelle, but she stops him]
Emanuelle: Isn't there anything to drink? You Italians don't beat around the bush - normally, when a man invites a girl over, he offers her a drink, and... then, they talk a bit, and then they make love.
Gianni Danieli: You're right.
[he gets up, but Emanuelle pulls him back to the bed]
Emanuelle: Idiot, it's you I want to drink.
- Alternate versionsSome versions omit a shot just seconds into the film of a nude woman in a magazine being read by Emanuelle on the airplane.

In terms of plot, this film is not all that exciting and clearly it's all just an excuse to show as much sex as possible. This actually isn't all that much of a bad thing as Laura Gemser obviously relishes this role and seeing her with her clothes off is what most people will be tuning in for anyway. The music is superb and the title track is absolutely pure seventies trash flick gold and is sure to delight fans of this stuff. Director Bitto Albertini is not a well known cult name but he has a background in cinematography and as such the film looks very nice, which compliments the central theme nicely. While Emanuelle would go on to become something much less than innocent in all of the later series efforts, this film focuses more on her losing her innocence than the actual sex and that works fairly well as that is basically what the original French film was about. Overall, I cant say that this is one of my favourite films and I do prefer some of the later efforts in this series, and the original French film, but Black Emanuelle is certainly worth a look if only to see the start of one of cult cinema's most popular series'.
