 Lindberg and her hair-do spice up otherwise blah Swedish sex drama. 
Striking posters are usually the reason we're drawn to watch films, but lacking beautiful promo art or an enticing premise, we watched Sängkamrater, which is known in English as Wide Open, for two reasons: Christina. Lindberg. So what did we get? We got a story about a drunken old man who moves in with his son and his son's girlfriend Solvieg Andersson and disrupts their lives. The subplot is set off when Lindberg flies into town, and her acquaintance Gunilla Larsson's ambitions to make extra cash leads into some dangerous circumstances. There's not much recommendable about the movie at all, aside from the fact that Lindberg has one of her most famous nude scenes, a breast soaping photo session that also showcases her majestic black bush. The sight of Lindberg's girlfur was like watching footage of an exotic animal that once roamed by the millions but is now near extinction. We felt deep sadness, and possibly even cried a little. We were also overcome by the certainty that a world that had let the bush come to near-oblivion is a world gone horribly, horribly wrong. But we digress. Sängkamrater is strictly average, except for Lindberg's majestic black bush, which you see below, because Pulp Intl. is one of the last bastions of beautiful nudity left on the internet, and we take our mandate seriously. Sängkamrater premiered in Sweden today in 1975. 
 Good to the last Droppar. 
And speaking of Sweden, the rather bold poster you see here is from Akira Katô’s drama Mitsu no shitatari, which was also known by the Swedish title Droppar av honung, which seems to mean “honey dripper.” Swedish title notwithstanding, this was a Japanese production all the way. Nikkatsu had a series of Suwêden poruno flicks it released during the early 1970s—Japanese backing, Western stars, and those oh so clever softcore production values that pushed the envelope while showing nothing that could result in obscenity charges. This one starred Solveig Andersson, who was one of Sweden’s other cinematic sex symbols after Christina Lindberg, and who starred with Lindberg in Thriller—en grym film, aka Thriller: A Cruel Picture. Andersson had a more extensive career than her compatriot, though, and even appeared onscreen as recently as 2014. She acted here under her phonetic Japanese name Sorubei Andâshon. We were not able to track the movie down, sadly, but is there any need? You can tell how it goes. Mitsu no shitatari premiered in Japan yesterday in 1973.

The headlines that mattered yesteryear.
1928—Soviets Exile Leon Trotsky
Leon Trotsky, a Bolshevik revolutionary, Marxist theorist, and co-leader of the Russian October Revolution, is exiled to Alma Ata, at the time part of the Soviet Union but now located in Kazakhstan. He is later expelled entirely from the Soviet Union to Turkey, accompanied by his wife Natalia Sedova and his son Lev Sedov. 1933—Hitler Becomes Chancellor
Adolf Hitler is sworn in as Chancellor of Germany in President Paul Von Hindenburg's office, in what observers describe as a brief and simple ceremony. Hitler's first speech as Chancellor takes place on 10 February. The Nazis' seizure of power subsequently becomes known as the Machtergreifung. 1916—Paris Is Bombed by German Zeppelins
During World War I, German zeppelins conduct a bombing raid on Paris. Such raids were rare, because the ships had to fly hundreds of miles over French territory to reach their target, making them vulnerable to attack. Reaching London, conversely, was much easier, because the approach was over German territory and water. The results of these raids were generally not good, but the use of zeppelins as bombers would continue until the end of the war.
