Morrisey long showed that his films, although more implicit in sex, drugs and characterizations, were really Hollywood films at the core.

One of the two schlocky horror comedies Paul Morrissey made in Italy in 1974... Blood for Dracula is the sexier and funnier.

Often startlingly beautiful to look at.
