Historical docudrama from Germany about the infamous Nazi doctor who escaped justice. (The original title, “Das Verschwinden des Josef Mengele,” is simply the same phrase in German.)

Mengele’s fugitive years in South America told from his point of view. The notorious Nazi doctor found refuge in South America at the end of WWII, in Argentina, Paraguay, and Brazil. He was never captured, living until 1979 without having been judged for his crimes.

At one time, the Americans held him prisoner under his real name, but failed to realize his significance, and released him. Before his flight to South America, he managed to live four more years in Europe under false identities, including a long stint as a simple farmhand. He somehow managed to elude capture for a quarter of a century in South America, and was eventually buried under the false name of Wolfgang Gerhard. His remains were disinterred and positively identified by forensic examination in 1985 and DNA analysis in 1992.

Grade-B Italian sexploitation film shot in Rome and Manila.

Italian painter Giorgio travels to the Philippines in the hope of kick-starting his creative drive. A chance meeting with the exotic Emanuelle does just exactly that – yet he gets more than he bargained for.

There is a screenwriting credit on this film, but most of it seems to be made up on the fly. Some of it is tethered to our normal expectations for continuity, but the “intrigue” portion of the plot is confusing and unresolved. It seems that there must be scenes on the cutting room floor that establish the missing connections between scenes and characters. As it stands, I was able to make more sense out of Finnegans Wake.

The best nudity and the most beautiful woman, Nicole Vincenti, can be seen in the opening credits. That lured me into watching the film. Big mistake. After that, it’s poorly shot sex scenes, wooden acting and topless dancing.

The IDs are below. Comprehensive coverage is in the videos.
