"Club privé pour couples avertis" is a French film released in 1974, directed by Max Pécas. Review: The film has been described as an erotic drama where Marcel, a taxi driver, picks up a seductive woman who leads him to a private club. There, he indulges in various sexual encounters, but his mind is also on Lisa, whom he has fallen in love with in Paris. Reviews from the time highlight the film as part of the sexploitation genre, focusing more on its erotic content than on narrative depth. The film has received mixed to negative reviews, with critics noting its superficial plot but acknowledging the era's context where such films were popular for their titillating content. The humor and set-ups are considered somewhat dated or kitschy by modern standards, and some critiques point towards the film's focus on sexual games without much character development or storyline progression. Cast: Philippe Gasté as Marcel, the taxi driver caught between love and lust. Denyse Roland (also known as Eva Stroll) as Corinne Lachaume, the woman who introduces Marcel to the private club. Chantal Arondel as Lise/Catherine, Marcel's love interest who works at the club. Michel Vocoret as Charlie. Henri Serre as Patrick Lachaume (credited as Patrick Lachaume). Anne Libert as Sylvie. The film has alternative titles in various countries, including "House of 1000 Pleasures" in English-speaking regions, reflecting its theme and content. This film is a product of its time, with explicit content that was typical for the French erotic cinema of the 1970s, focusing on exploring sexual freedom within a narrative that is light on plot but heavy on the erotic.
