Her role as Miss Moneypenny in the lamentable James Bond spoof 'Casino Royale' may have set hearts a flutter, but it was for her part in classic Italian shockers like 'Black Belly of the Tarantula' and 'Don't Torture a Duckling' that cemented Barbara Bouche's status as one of the most libidinous

icons of Euro-cult cinema. Happily, Silvio Amadio's saucy thriller 'Amuck!' fits snugly into this giallo-centric category too, and here Bouchet stars as Greta; a nubile young secretary under the recent employment of the cravat-wearing Richard (Farley Granger). Partial to the occasional bout of swinging along with his wanton wife Eleanora (Rosalba Neri), Richard also seems to harbour a dark secret: the mysterious whereabouts of his missing former assistant, Sally, whom Greta knows very intimately indeed... With its blend of leeringly-lensed slow motion sex scenes and slick spectacle, Amuck! is an erotically charged masterclass in murder and deception.

Their base is Morpheus and Sarah's head shop, where Alison also runs an illicit tattoo parlour. Cross-out gags and kidult cartoon humour combine with pop culture nods and weird yet warm characters.
