Two fantastic French productions, these are full of hot sex scenes and picturesque European landscapes. The Tower isset in Paris with stunning and clear night scenes of the Eiffel Tower. The plot centers around a murder mystery involving the residents of an apartment building and their voyeuristic landlord. The scenes are sexy, steamy and pleasing to the eye, set in stunning and beautiful Parisian apartments.
The picture quality of both these discs is mediocre with a large amount of pixelation around the edges and a slight moire pattern. The colors are bright and vibrant, most beautifully seen in a bondage scene in The Gigolo involving black and red costumes.
Originally filmed in French, these discs offer dubbing in various languages. The Tower's dubbing consists of a narrator explaining the dialogue rather than dubbing of the actual dialogue, nonetheless it is satisfactory for American viewers. The Gigolo'sdubbing is less than complete in many of the language settings, especially English, with many of the scenes relatively untranslated.
