Part of

Emmanuelle Collection

A series of French softcore erotic movies from the seventies, which were somewhat of a phenomenon when they were first released. Only the movies starring Silvia Kristel are considered part of the "official" series, excluding Emmanuelle IV, since then many spin-offs, cash-ins and rip-offs have been produced by many studios around the world.
