Around the World in 80 Beds 1977 ‘In 80 Betten um die Welt’ Directed by Jesús Franco, Erwin C. Dietrich
This German “mondo” movie has a TV host (Esther Moser) narrating and introducing various sexual acts from around the world. This includes S&M acts, a class teaching masturbation, a man who likes to pretend to be a baby and getting spanked by his mother and various other naughty tales.
This is hardcore porn. How is it allowed in the database? Make yr mind up, LB.
It's entirely fair that one would be unable to see how this is a Jess Franco movie, but it all becomes clear when you know the context in which it was made, as the last of a trio of quickies shot at the same time in the same space with the same people on the same spunky old rug. And it has that same stale static dead-air of the previous two films Franco was gridlocked into making for Dietrich, just miserably working off his debts on a factory line. Franco's sex films work best when they're not even really…
Franco #114 --- This is the only Dietrich+Franco collab I haven't seen ... until now. It's also the only movie out of the Jess Franco Golden Goya collection that I don't own on BluRay. For some reason, the price of this film is almost twice as high as the price of the rest. Another reason why I wasn't really interested in it is my disinterest in mondo movies or fake-documentaries as well as my disliking of the other two adult movies Jess made in '76: Mädchen im Nachtverkehr [Girls in the night traffic] & Schwarze Haut und Weisse Schenkel [ White Skin and Black Thighs].

"In 80 Betten um die Welt" ist ein völlig belangloser Hardcore-Sexfilm von aus der Erwin-C.-Dietrich-Schmiede, von Jess Franco gedreht, jedoch optisch ganz ohne dessen Kennzeichen (keine Zooms, keine Wackelkamera). "Mädchen, Machos und Moneten" (Eppenberger, Stapfer 2006) nimmt noch an, dass der Film in weiten Teilen von Dietrich gedreht wurde und aus anderen Mondo-Filmen Material eingebaut wurde, Thrower beschreibt, dass diverse Szenen über ein Jahr hinweg nebenbei von Franco gedreht wurden und viele Establishing-Shots der Kameramann in Abwesenheit des Regisseurs drehte. Die Szenen selbst, meist in hässlichen, karg ausgestatteten Räumen gedreht, die Kopenhagen, die Reeperbahn oder Istanbul eher nicht vermuten lassen, deuten schon mehr auf Franco hin, da die Erotik oft dem für ihn typischen BDSM-Bereich zuzuordnen ist.
Unbedingtes "Muss" ist das Bluray-Extra "Eric im Nachtverkehr", in dem Darsteller Eric Falk seine tief-philosophischen Einsichten über männliche Fickmaschinen und die von Natur aus schwächer gebauten Frauen, die man erobern muss, indem man in sie eindringt, zum Besten gibt.
Eine unfassbar öde "Weltreise", die so uninspiriert inszeniert ist, daß ich einen Großteil davon Erwin C. Dietrich zuschreiben würde.
A compendium of sexual practices around the world. Strangely, every scene features the same actors, regardless in which country the scene is supposedly set. In reality, everything was filmed in the studio of producer Erwin C. Dietrich. The infamous white rug makes an appearance in almost every single scene. The girl who is our guide through the various sexual escapades is played by the delightfully uninhibited Esther Moser. A brief appearance by Pilar Coll as an oriental girl who experiences a mystical form of sex that does not involve touching brought a smile to my face. The best part is the ridiculously lurid black mass which opens the movie, which almost rivals similar scenes in Jess Franco's much better (and better known) Exorcism. Also great to see some street shots of Amsterdam in 1977. I was surprised by the amount of hardcore in this film, going from cunnilingus and fellatio to penetration - the latter obviously inserts with unknown actors.
Erwin C. Dietrich’s collaboration with Jess Franco is basically a mondo/travelogue of sex around the globe. There are a lot of half assed blow jobs and xxx inserts to fill this mostly worthless film. You can tell that Franco didn’t have much to do with this as it lacks all his regular crew.
Le livre de Stephen Thrower consacré à Jess Franco permet mieux de comprendre ce film tourné rapidement et sans grande ambition. En gros, Franco, talonné par plusieurs créanciers, s'est vu contraint de travailler exclusivement pour le producteur suisse Erwin C. Dietrich, lequel venait de le tirer d'affaire dans une situation pour le moins embarrassante (Franco avait abandonné son équipe entière pendant deux semaines sans payer les salaires... ni la note d'hôtel qui grandissait chaque jour).
Bilan : Dietrich surveillait désormais Jess Franco de près pour éviter que le réalisateur espagnol ne tente de tourner 2 ou 3 films en même temps dans le but de les vendre ailleurs ou de rogner du temps de tournage pour le compte d'un autre…

For years it was believed that producer Erwin C. Dietrich had directed this film but then it came out that Jess Franco was the one behind the camera but I must admit that I'm not totally sure how true that is. I guess we'll never know but there's not too much here that reminds me of Franco's style, although there are many experts out there who say this is no doubt…

Mondo Erotico is essentially a collection of uninspiring hardcore scenes tacked together as a mondo travelogue. I'm surprised that this is actually listed when Girls In The Night Traffic isn't, considering the latter features less hardcore and at least attempts a loose narrative.
Reusing the same sets, locations, cast, fluffy white rug, and even some of the same footage as the aforementioned Girls in the Night Traffic and the much better White Skin, Black Thighs (which actually has some great set design), this Franco/Dietrich outing has even less going for it.
It's clear that this film was purely slapped together to be played - most likely on a continuous loop - in 24 hour sex cinemas with seats as sticky…
Do not expect a documentary styled movie about weird sex trends. Nope this is a movie in vignettes with actors playing different roles on different sets but with the same spunk infested white rug. It is the kind of porn, with full frontal nudity, where we see snatch and poke and only limp dicks getting sucked. Penetration closeups where later inserted with different actors. Apparently directed by Jess Franco working on three quick cash-in movies back-to-back with the same actors and sets. Filming this went probably at a breakneck pace where the Swiss producer/director Erwin C Dietrich chimed in on a couple of shorts. Franco had a longstanding mentorship with Dietrich as producer of many of Franco’s films. Dietrich was…
