Valérie (1969) Quebec's first nudie film

IMDB

Valérie is Quebec's first "nudie" film, in 1968. Valérie runs away from the Catholic orphanage to the bright lights of Montreal, and the film goes on to detail her exploits as a topless dancer and a high-class prostitute before she falls in love and settles down with a Montreal artist. Valérie was made for under $100,000, some of which was provided by the CFDC after Héroux had already started filming. A commercial smash, Valérie went on to huge box offices in both Quebec and France. Because Valérie returns to the Catholic role of the housewife after her indiscretions, this film is often seen as a simple morality tale. However, conservative endings were frequently seen in American exploitation films. Called "square ups," these tacked on endings allowed exhibitors to claim their films were cautionary tales, even though their sole purpose was to portray nudity and implied sex as luridly and commercially as possible. -- Canuxploitation

What can I say, I really like this movie. Mostly because it was filmed in Montreal, where I live. It was great to see familiar landscapes, captured on film at a time when I wasn't yet born, that still look about the same as they do now. The fact that this was the first skin flick made in Quebec, Canada also makes it worthwhile.

Great nudity but very tame sex, which is to be expected.

Thanks go to ScreaminJay on Karagarga for making this gem available.
