At a time when George Lucas’ immortal Space Fantasy classic Star Wars was making its way around the world inspiring a whole new generation of storytellers, the French were producing a little something something called La fille à la fourrure … which according to Googe Translate turns out to be The Furry Girl in English. Apparently, this was an Adult-themed romp that – depending upon when and where you saw it – may also have been theatrically or commercially billed as The Girl In The Fur Coat, Starship Eros, Naked Lovers, Fornicating Aliens, or even The Porno Zombies. Who knows? I guess maybe you can judge a book by its cover!
Here's the plot summary as provided by our friends at IMDB.com:
“Aliens from the planet Eros revive the dead on Earth and turn them into horny zombies.”
What? It could happen …
In any event, the feature was directed by Claude Pierson. I’ve done an online search, and unfortunately I don’t see much information regarding the man and/or his work. A quick summary of his IMDB.com profile suggests that perhaps he’s most well known for a cinematic adaptation of the novel “Justine ou les malheurs de la vertu” that was released as Justine De Sade in 1972. Furry Girl’s script is showing attributed to Huguette Boisvert, and it does appear (also from IMDB.com) that these two worked together on several occasions throughout their respective careers in the business.
As can happen with these titles that are increasingly obscure, reviews on the web are scarce. I did find a single one – well, asides from the basic info on IMDB.com – but it appears that the author of it didn’t know French, and the film wasn’t subtitled. (I say this full well that subtitles in – ahem – adult films are probably not very accurate nor much needed in most cases.) Still, the reviewer seemed somewhat surprised that Furry Girl took its central premise very seriously – that of aliens inhabiting human corpses for the purposes of copulating – when a bit of humor might very well have been what the project needed.
As for the on-screen talent, Furry Girl starred Didier Aubriot, Alain Saury (in one of his last screen roles), Ursula White (who appears to be the marquee name draw here), Barbara Moose, and Lilian Allan as ‘the extraterrestrial.’
As always, thanks for reading ... and live long and prosper!
