Carousel of Love

Romanian filmmaker Andrei Feher AKA Andrew Whyte (1916-2003) already stood out behind the camera during the 1950s and 1960s, but due to the political situation in Romania he moved first to Italy and then to Yugoslavia during the 1970s. In Sweden, he established himself as an adult filmmaker during the so-called Golden Age of the genre worldwide, always using a false name ("Feher" in Hungarian means "white"), but he also left that country in the mid-1980s to move to France, where he continued making explicit and softcore films.

In the explicit version of "Kärleksvirveln," her first commercial adult film, whose title roughly translates as "The Vortex of Love," the cinematic development is still crude and undeveloped, but it features an interesting plot interspersed with highly kinky sex scenes, although some of them were implemented with stunt doubles, especially those involving the beautiful protagonist Barbara Scott (here AKA Maud Hagberg).

Barbara Scott plays Gladys, a woman dissatisfied with her marriage, who one day runs into one Romeo Calligari, an elegant gentleman who offers to help her with her car, which has conveniently broken down. What begins as a friendship turns out to be, in reality, a ruse by Romeo to increase the profits of a criminal gang dedicated to robberies, who seduce men and women to end up stealing private valuables without arousing suspicion. The problem for Gladys is that, after several sessions of intense sex with Romeo, she ends up madly in love with him, and when he starts ghosting her because he is simultaneously benefiting from Doris, Gladys's pubescent daughter (an Anne Magle who gives absolutely everything, personally, and to the delight of the audience), she decides to make a radical decision, whose final scene is the best of the entire film, more than anything for its dramatic arc and the final sequence that corroborates it.
