TOUCHY FEELY
Idle hands are a woman’s playthings.

It seems about time for another image of Swedish actress Christina Lindberg, so here’s one we picked up a while back that’s never been seen online before, as far as we can tell. We think it was made as a promo for her 1973 sexploitation flick Anita: Swedish Nymphet, but don't quote us on that.

GIRL CAN'T HELP IT
Everybody loves Lindberg.


Above is a Japanese promo poster for the Swedish sexploitation classic Anita, aka Anita: Swedish Nymphet, which is the story of a young nymphomaniac. Let’s just say up front that we’re aware many people think nymphomania doesn’t exist, and is rather just a term coined by alarmed men to label women who didn’t obey their gender roles. Twenty-three-year-old Christina Lindberg plays a sixteen-year-old title character who fails to do exactly that, throwing convention aside and bedding everyone in sight, from friendly acquaintances to unknown, smudge-covered vagrants. Most of the encounters that don’t take place in an actual bed occur in a dirty tent she’s discovered near a downtown construction site. We loved these seductions in particular, because the set-ups were exactly the same as you’d find in a serial killer movie, with the guys casting a worried eye toward her tent and saying nervously, “Er, you want to do it in there?

Anyway, poor Anita has a dozen or so sexual encounters, all unfulfilling, and even gets run out of one town, perhaps undeservedly, before finally meeting a doctor who thinks he may be able to help. The doctor is played by an unrecognizably young Stellan Skarsgård—Alexander Skarsgard’s father, for you fans of True Blood—but who we prefer to think of as the villain from the 1998 Robert DeNiro actioner Ronin, a movie that for the first 100 of its 122 minutes is among the best spy thrillers ever made. Anita is much the same—the first 80 minutes or so are excellent and exceedingly serious sexploitation, but its inevitable path toward redemption for the lead character tries the patience just a bit. In the remake, if there ever is one, we suggest Anita dismember some guys in her tent. Considering their age and her obvious youth, they’d deserve it. Anita premiered in Sweden in 1973 and finally made its way to Japan today in 1976.

MAID TO ORDER
L’età there be Lindberg.

Hard to believe it’s been two years since we last wrote about Christina Lindberg, but time flies. Her 1971 softcore sex romp L’età della malizia, aka Maid in Sweden, is a coming-of-age tale about a girl who goes to the big city to visit her aunt and gets into all sorts of sticky situations. There isn’t much to recommend here, as the plot is thin, the characters are flimsy, and some of the sexual encounters fall into the category of coercion. But the film is notable because it was the first time Lindberg appeared on American movie screens. For that reason many sites incorrectly describe the movie as her debut, but this was actually the third movie she had filmed, after 1970’s Rötmånad, aka What Are You Doing After the Orgy?, and 1971’s Exponerad, aka Diary of a Rape. Want two scary facts? Rötmånad in Swedish means “dog days” and Exponerad means “exposed.” The U.S. titles, which incorporate “orgy” and “rape” give an indication of what the American distributors of these films thought about American audiences. We like the impressionist Italian poster, though, and just so you don’t think we’re all high and mighty about the lowbrow nature of this movie, below is a nude promo of Lindberg. If you want to see an amazing array of posters and photos of Sweden’s most amazing export, click her keywords below.

COMPLETELY DESERTED
She ain’t too proud to beg.

Above is a rare Christina Lindberg shot showing her crawling across the sands of some desert or other. It's from the 1973 photo book This Is Christina Lindberg, which was shot by her soon-to-be husband Bo Sehlberg. Sehlberg, for all his good taste in models/wives, refused to allow Lindberg to be shot by another photographer and pressured her into giving up her career as a softcore actress. So that blows. Anyway, we have still more rare Lindbergs and we’ll get to those later.

Update: If you visit this site a lot you may remember there were two images of Lindberg posted here. We've obviously removed one of them. We just were not happy with the quality of that scan. For Ms. Lindberg, only the best. We'll see about getting it back up later, but if you really want to see it that shouldn't be a problem—it's on about five hundred Tumblr sites with no credit given to Pulp Intl. whatsoever.

Swindles & Scams Nov 22 2012
ATTACK OF THE SCAMBOTS
Routine site maintenance uncovers two different types of scams.


If you live in the U.S, today you’re probably celebrating Thanksgiving, maybe watching some football. But people where we live don’t know from Thanksgiving, so with nothing else to do today we decided to go back through some of the old posts on the website to make sure all the external links were still working. Interestingly, we noticed that the first two dead links cycled around for a few moments, then sent us to functioning pages that had nothing to do with the original articles. For instance, a link in our post on Lee Harvey Oswald’s coffin sent us to the front page of The Huffington Post. Is having dead links on your website now the equivalent of leaving your sunglasses in a restaurant? They’re okay to steal because they’ve been temporarily forgotten? Well, not in our universe. In the next couple of days we’re going to ferret out all the dead links on Pulp Intl. and redirect them to relevant content. We’d be surprised if there are even half a dozen, but we’ll fix them

Second thing we noticed—this happened earlier this week—is that on a couple of auction sites there are sellers offering Pulp Intl. scans as photographs. How do we know they’re ours? Well, we’d love to say it’s because nobody else has these pieces of art, but clearly, someone else could have acquired them too. No, we know because we retouched the scans and the alterations are still there. When Pulp Intl. content is reposted on a blogspot or tumblr, that’s more people sharing rarely seen art, which is a good thing, plus it helps our traffic. But when someone takes images from a website and sells them as original photos, that’s low. The Christina Lindberg image above is one of the ones we found, and it came from our post here (we won’t link to the auction because that’ll just turn into another dead link in a few days). So the lesson is caveat emptor, people. Now enjoy that turkey.

ALL DOLLED UP
You too can be a celebrity stylist.


Are they pulp? Well, not exactly, but they’re fun! Below are several cut-out dolls of various celebs of the 1970s. These used to appear regularly in Swedish magazines, where they were called klippdockan or klipprutan, and pretty much any personality you can imagine was reproduced at some point or another. Below are David Bowie, Françoise Hardy, Christina Lindberg, Donovan, Brigitte Bardot and Jane Birkin.

EYES WIDE SHUT
Wait—are you shooting on three, or are you saying three and then shooting?

In terms of sheer popularity, Christina Lindberg and Reiko Ike are a pinku dream pairing, but unfortunately they only acted in one film together, 1973’s Furyô anego den: Inoshika Ochô aka Sex & Fury. The above promo shot from that film caught Lindberg with her eyes half closed, but it’s worth seeing even if it’s a bit of an oops moment. You can see two Sex & Fury posters here.

CALENDAR GIRL
Early 1972 triggered a major growth spurt in certain sectors.

We have another old calendar page today (we’ve found these to be a good source of promo imagery). This one, for the first four months of 1972, features everyone’s favorite Swedish sexploitation and pinku actress Christina Lindberg. The calendar promotes her 1971 film Exponerad, aka Exposed, and quite effectively we might add. The flipside appears below.

TRAVELING WITHOUT MOVING
Don’t let the title fool you—this flick goes practically nowhere.

One of the elements we like about pinku films—aside from the action, the visuals, and the glimpse into a culture not our own—is that the women who have suffered all sorts of degradations at the hands of men inevitably massacre their tormentors in the last reel. When that doesn’t happen, we’re cheated of the final catharsis, which makes us party to the abuse rather than cheerleaders for the abused’s emancipation. We don’t need to be shown that the world is cruel—we just want to see something done about it, if only in the realm of violent fantasy.

Thus Sadao Nakajima’s Poruno no joô: Nippon sex ryokô, aka The Pornstar Travels Around Japan, aka The Kyoto Connection doesn’t quite deliver for us. It’s a rather simple film, and it has nothing to do with traveling around. Quite the opposite, actually. The porn star in question is held captive in a room most of the movie and repeatedly abused by a rather disturbed taxi driver for whom she eventually develops feelings. Psychologists, so we hear, call this sort of emotional inversion Stockholm Syndrome. We call it a letdown, even though we understand there’s an attempt to make a serious point here.

At least the movie has Christina Lindberg in the title role, so that’s a substantial silver lining. The poster above is one you can find on many websites, but we suspect only we have the rare two-panel version below. Too bad the printers produced such a shitty image. We can only assume that upon seeing a nude Christina Lindberg, they printed the posters one-handed while abusing themselves. Poruno no joô: Nippon sex ryokô, aka The Pornstar Travels Around Japan opened in Japan today in 1973.

SWEDE AND LOWDOWN
Is there a draft in here, or is it just me?

We mentioned a while back that we had a few images of Swedish actress Christina Lindberg that had never been posted on the internet, and here’s one of them, from a Japanese promo poster circa 1972. Hope she didn’t catch a cold on this shoot. More Lindberg here, and more down the line.

1926—Aimee Semple McPherson Disappears
In the U.S., Canadian born evangelist Aimee Semple McPherson disappears from Venice Beach, California in the middle of the afternoon. She is initially thought to have drowned, but on June 23, McPherson stumbles out of the desert in Agua Prieta, a Mexican town across the border from Douglas, Arizona, claiming to have been kidnapped, drugged, tortured and held for ransom in a shack by two people named Steve and Mexicali Rose. However, it soon becomes clear that McPherson's tale is fabricated, though to this day the reasons behind it remain unknown.
1964—Mods and Rockers Jailed After Riots
In Britain, scores of youths are jailed following a weekend of violent clashes between gangs of Mods and Rockers in Brighton and other south coast resorts. Mods listened to ska music and The Who, wore suits and rode Italian scooters, while Rockers listened to Elvis and Gene Vincent, and rode motorcycles. These differences triggered the violence.

1918—U.S. Congress Passes the Sedition Act
In the U.S., Congress passes a set of amendments to the Espionage Act called the Sedition Act, which makes "disloyal, profane, scurrilous, or abusive language" about the United States government, its flag, or its armed forces, as well as language that causes foreigners to view the American government or its institutions with contempt, an imprisonable offense. The Act specifically applies only during times of war, but later is pushed by politicians as a possible peacetime law, specifically to prevent political uprisings in African-American communities. But the Act is never extended and is repealed entirely in 1920.
