My recollection is that the film was called "What" and that it took place in the Rivierra (French or Italian). The plot revolved around the eccentricities of the residents of a large villa to which the heroine (victim?) of the film escapes after being picked up and molested by two young men. As the movie progresses it becomes more and more apparent that this is a sanctuary for sexual deviants. Does anybody know if this movie was released under a different name? I'm left with an image of Roman Polanski padding around in trunks and fins carrying a harpoon gun, lisping, "I call this my stinger -- you think its something sexual, don't you? Well it is!" -- Marcus Hand (hou5h!mgh)
