The wonderful world of Maria Rohm
By an Amazon.com customer
The Blood of Fu ManchuThe Blood of Fu Manchu
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $1.63
The fourth film from producer Harry Alan Towers' Fu Manchu series, also Maria's first film with director Jess Franco. Entertaining stuff, looks like an updated Republic serial. Excellent DVD!
The Girl From RioThe Girl From Rio
Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $5.49
Filmed just after THE BLOOD OF FU MANCHU this initially was a follow-up to THE MILLION EYES OF SU-MURU (not available on DVD or video). Great DVD, but one sequence from the european version is missing.
99 Women (Director's Cut)99 Women (Director's Cut)
Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $5.00
Maria's third film with director Jess Franco is an excellent women in prison drama. A pretty serious attempt on that theme, not as most of its successors. Avoid the badly reworked X rated version!
Marquis de Sade's JustineMarquis de Sade's Justine
Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $10.99
This adaption of the Marquis de Sade's novel was filmed just after 99 WOMEN and Maria's part in it is the complete opposite: this time she isn't the innocent victim, but the wicked sister of Justine.
Venus in FursVenus in Furs
Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $6.00
Maria is VENUS IN FURS, the BLACK ANGEL (director Jess Franco prefers this title) of jazz trumpet player James Darren. One of the sexiest films ever made!
Eugenie - The Story of Her Journey Into PerversionEugenie - The Story of Her Journey Into Perversion
Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $11.62
Originally titled DE SADE 70, this is another de Sade adaption (this time the novel "Philosophy in the Boudoir"). A stylish, shocking and witty art-house sex fantasy. One of Maria's best parts!
The Bloody JudgeThe Bloody Judge
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $4.49
Almost in every country this film was released you saw a different cut. Blue Underground did an excellent job in bringing together all the different versions of the THE BLOODY JUDGE. Great DVD!
Sex CharadeSex Charade
Filmed just after THE BLOODY JUDGE, it seems this ultra low-buget flick was never released anywhere in the world. Sadly this DVD was never done either! I hope some day we can watch this gem.
Jess Franco's Count Dracula (Special Edition)Jess Franco's Count Dracula (Special Edition)
Buy new: $15.99 / Used from: $8.21
Maria's last film with Jess Franco. Pretty faithful adaption of Bram Stoker's classic novel. I would say the best besides Murnau's NOSFERATU. The DVD presents a good looking print of the movie, but is missing one short scene. Great special features!
Black Beauty [Widescreen]Black Beauty [Widescreen]
Buy new: $9.98 / Used from: $0.99
This is probably the best filming of the novel by Anna Sewell, Maria plays one of the owners of the horse BLACK BEAUTY. Paramount used an excellent, uncut print for the DVD.
The Call of the WildThe Call of the Wild
Buy used from: $2.03
Interesting filming of Jack Londons novel. Unfortunatly all US-DVDs presenting this film in pretty bad transfers, try to get the much better import DVD from the UK!
Five Golden DragonsFive Golden Dragons
Buy used from: $20.95
Funny spy adventure taking place in Hongkong. Great cast: Robert Cummings, Christopher Lee, Brian Donlevy, George Raft, Klaus Kinski, Margaret Lee, Maria Perschy, Rupert Davies and Maria!
The Vengeance of Fu ManchuThe Vengeance of Fu Manchu
Buy used from: $2.80
Third in the Fu Manchu series. One of Maria's first bigger parts. Available on a decent DVD in the UK.
The House of 1000 DollsThe House of 1000 Dolls
Buy used from: $6.25
Maria meets Vincent Price in this film! The US video cropps the 2.35:1 image to fullframe and is cut by more than 15 minutes. Hopefully Sony/MGM will give us a decent DVD soon!
Dorian GrayDorian Gray
Buy used from: $38.17
Oscar Wilde's DORIAN GRAY in the swinging sixties. Maria has not a big part, but she's the only gal, who can resist Dorian's charms and slaps him in his face when he's trying to seduce her.
Treasure Island (1972)Treasure Island (1972)
Buy used from: $4.80
By far the best filming of Robert Stevenson's TREASURE ISLAND. Wonderful locations, great international cast. Orson Welles as Long John Silver. Would love to see a DVD in the OAR 1.85:1.
Il Conte Dracula (Count Dracula - 1971 Film)Il Conte Dracula (Count Dracula - 1971 Film)

Bruno Nicolai's scary score from COUNT DRACULA. Out of print, but try to get it!
