Il Corpo (1974)

"Il Corpo" is an Italian drama from the era of European cinema. That era thrived on domestic tension and simmering desire. Carroll Baker headlines the film, bringing the kind of magnetic screen presence that defined her later continental career. The archive carries just one scene clipped from the movie, but it counts. Baker appears nude in the clip, unguarded and fully exposed. It's the kind of moment that helped cement her reputation as one of the era's boldest imports. It's a brief entry, but for anyone charting her filmography, this scene is worth the stop.
