Virgins! Violence! Vice!
This rather striking movie poster (or perhaps it’s more akin to a lobby card) for the twin features Sexy Susan Sins Again and Erotique was reproduced on the back cover of the June 1969 issue of Continental Film Revue magazine:
The Sexy Susan movie is said to be an “Austrian-Italian costume drama-adventure-sex comedy film.”
It took me awhile to identify the X-rated movie being advertised under the title Erotique, as that’s not really a unique keyword for searching. It turns out to have been alternative titling for Radley Metzger’s girls’ boarding school drama Therese & Isobel, as seen on this poster that gives both titles:
What’s not clear to me is how many virgins, or how much violence and vice, either movie genuinely has to offer. Nor is it perfectly clear which movie promises the nude crowd scene with at least 18 naked people in it. In those days, you couldn’t 100% trust a movie poster to deliver on promises like that anyway!

This movie is also known as “Daughters of Joy”. But the original title is “Frau Wirtin hat auch einen Grafen”, that can be translated by “The landlady also has a count”. And in the french speaking countries like France or Belgium, it was renamed: “Oui à l’amour, non à la guerre” (Yes to love, no to war).
Thanks, Roger. To clarify for other readers, you’re talking about the top bill on the poster, the Sexy Susan movie; the Wiki article mentions one of those alternative titles but not the others. I appreciate you filling in the blanks! (The many titles that movies — especially this kind of movies — would get released under in different markets/languages are often really poorly documented and super hard to research.)
I especially like the Funk & Wagnell reference. In case readers were unsure of the definition of “erotic”. I guess they were trying to say “not porn!”.
