Reissue of Jean Claudric's inspired soundtrack to the 1973 film 'Jeu De Dames', which offers us one of the best French jazz funk soundtracks, which would not blush at the comparison with the best of the genre, such as Michel Legrand's 'Un homme est mort', or Jean-Pierre Mirouze's 'Le mariage collectif', previously released by Born Bad. 'Jeu de Dames, la liberation des femmes' (1973), a film by director Christian Lara, is a vaguely subversive charm flick that won't be remembered for a long time. An amusing detail, however, is that Georges de Caunes, father of Antoine de Caunes, the famous French TV personality, plays the lead role alongside Danielle Palmero. It's just one of a number of naive films that, without being erotic, is sufficiently risque that it failed to find a place in theatres on the traditional circuit. Faced with this commercial failure, the unscrupulous producer at the time, anxious to save his investments, decided to re-edit the film so that it could be screened in the X-rated circuit. He rechristened the film 'Sex Revolution' in a more racy style, inserting more hardcore scenes to appeal to fans of the genre.
