Miguel
Asensio (Gabriel Tinti) arrives in Malloca from Germany to work as an
architect for his late father's business partner, Carlos, a man who
intends to litter the pristine Formentor coastline with buildings. His
privileged daughter, Crista, begins flirting with Miguel [thus
antagonizing her boyfriend Antonio] but Miguel is more interested in
meeting an alluring tourist named Sandra (Soledad Miranda).
This
is an early film from Soledad
Miranda. She would find International fame a few months later after
being discovered by Jess Franco, starring as Lucy in his version of
COUNT
DRACULA. She was born Soledad Rendón Bueno to a gypsy
family in 1943, changing her name to 'Miranda' in the early sixties
for her first film, the peplum URSUS. Franco gave her a new alias 'Susan
Korda' [as a homage to German actress Susanne Korda who had - interestingly
- made a movie called Miranda in 1965] and she would headline
some of his best films, starring in seven projects, including EUGENIE
DE SADE, SHE
KILLED IN ECSTASY and VAMPIROS
LESBOS. Shockingly, in August 1970, Soledad died in a car accident
on a highway in Portugal. She was 27.
