o
doesn't exactly loom large among the titans of French cinema, though over the course of his 
directorial career from 1934 into the mid-1970s he tried his hand at just about every genre out there. Workmanlike in the purest sense, he ended up veering into light sexploitation during his last working decade with two noteworthy films getting their first English-friendly releases courtesy of Mondo Macabro on Blu-ray. The headliner here is about as typical a softcore early '70s romp as you can get, Ravishing Dany (Dany la ravageuse), an episodic escapade through the French countryside through the eyes of the titular character played by Sandra Julien fresh off her starring turn in Jean Rollin's The Shiver of the Vampires. 
ends up getting tossed our of cars or running for her life as she deals with a kinky hearse driver, an even kinkier couple, a sadistic 
whip-happy butler, a lesbian in drag, a trio of bank robbers, and a pop star who swaps her out with his buddy when she isn't paying attention. The tone here veers all over the place from silly slapstick to harrowing violence, sometimes within the same scene; mostly though it's an excuse to get Julien and most of the other cast members naked as much as possible, which is exactly what you'd expect. 
casinos and yachts. Hard-edged gambler Manuel (Castle of Blood and The Virgin of Nuremberg's Rivière) 
is so far gone his losings at the roulette table include the wedding ring of his wife, Tassoula (Kalogeropoulou). Meanwhile rich banker's nephew Giorgian (Death Laid an Egg's Sobieski) sends his eyepatch-wearing henchman (Lycan) to rope in bleach-blonde shoplifter Zeta (Apostolou) for some chateau sadism and mind games. Soon the two story strands intersect as Manuel comes up with a plan to get rich quick using his wife's seductive wiles, and Giorgian has his own plans that are bound to end very badly for just about everyone involved including possible murder.
As for video extras, 
an interview with the director's daughter, Catherine Rozier (17m41s), is a fond remembrance of his work including her intermittent memories of tagging along for the shoots, the differences in his attitude on set versus at home, and lots of background on her family and her dad's history as a sports champion. "Christophe Bier Reads Director Willy Rozier" (19m56s) is a rare interview with the filmmaker with comments about his films and a variety of memories about his time in the industry. "Visa Ministeriel N. 39067" (25m26s) is a very interesting look with Bier poring through a file room to go over Ravishing Dany's issues with the censors, right at the height of the softcore wave and on the cusp of hardcore taking over in France. Also included are a textless Dany trailer and a 2m8s selection of "XXX" Dany inserts, which are actually not even close to hardcore but look really unflattering for the stand-ins involved.
