Eden no sono (1980)


'A young pickpocket meets a sheltered teenage girl at an art museum while trying to lift her wallet.'

You might be asking what a young pickpocket at a museum has to do with Adam and Eve, well, not a lot really.  1980's Eden no sono, (The Garden of Eden) does quickly take the young couple out of the city and into a tropical paradise. 


The cute young pickpocket ends up falling  in love with her and lures her to deserted strip of beach where he pretends his motorbike has broken. An unlikely romance follows.  Part Adam and Eve, with a dash of The Blue Lagoon.  Japanese-Italian production is described as being a bit more arty than your usual exploitation flick and more exploitative than your usual art film


The highlight in the film however, is the adorable Ronnie Valente who plays Michele, the young pickpocket.  I couldn't find out much about Valente, except that even though he only made three films, he was quite the teen idol for a brief time in the early 80's.  There's not a lot of nudity in the film, but there were a few nice rear shots of Valente.

Adamo ed Eva: la prima storia d'amore

'God casts Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden because Eve decided to eat a forbidden apple that a talking snake told her to eat. The disgraced couple find themselves battling a coterie of various creatures.'


1983's Adamo and Eva is known as an Italian Exploitation film.  I think for American's, the closest connection would be to softcore.   The film is light on story, but heavy on beauty and visuals, and also heavily relies on music to tell the story.


Mark Gregory is certainly a beauty, with is great face and body and curly brown hair.  I found myself watching him, caring little about the story, but focused on his beautiful face.  Gregory is nude for a bit at the beginning, but carefully shot so you don't see too much. 


Unfortunately the film quickly leaves the love story, and the nudity, and puts it's Adam and Even in loincloths so they can battle a slew of odd creatures.  Still, all  in all a beautiful looking film, but also one that could have been so much more by doing just a little bit less.

Second Time Lucky


'In the beginning the Devil made a bet with God. The Devil backed Eve, God backed Adam.'


In Second Time Lucky, there's a new wager between Heaven and Hell. The Devil bets God that if God were to pick two young people to be the new Adam and Eve, they'd sin again. God accepts and sends a college couple to various eras, starting with the Garden of Eden.


There's not a ton of nudity in 1984's Second Time Lucky, but there are enough shots of Adam's (Roger Wilson) bountiful butt, to keep viewers interested.  There's also an added CMNM element that adds an additional erotic element.  If you don't recognize Roger in the caps that I made, you might recognize him in the blond headshot I posted above.


Many of you got to know Wilson in the first two Porky's movies where he played Mickey.  Although Mickey was seen in quite a few scenes, sadly Wilson wasn't in any of the films famous nude scenes.  Wilson was a busy actor in the 80's, and also starred in the short lived television series, Seven Brides For Seven Brothers.  His career sadly seemed to dwindle out in the 1990's and 2000's. 

The Sin of Adam and Eve


God created man. Eve created The Sin of Adam and Eve.

One of my favorite Adam and Eve themed films is 1969's El pecado de Adán y Eva, (The Sin off Adam Eve). The story's focus is on the the time, after Adam and Eve were  expelled from the Garden of Eden.  Adam and Eve look back and remember the days before they listened to Satan instead of God.


One of the reason's it's my favorite is of course due to the casting of Mexican heartthrob Jorge Rivero in the role of Adam.  The two images above are sadly not from the film, but two of my favorite shots of Rivero that I wanted to include.  All of the remaining images however, are from the film.


Although I don't think there is any frontal nudity, (if there is, it's very quick) there are plenty of great shots of Rivero's beautiful behind running and playing in the Garden of Eden.  I found a decent copy of the film to make the caps below, but there's also what appears to be a full copy on Youtube as well.  You can check it out HERE:
