But back to the 1969 De Sade. The film was shot in West Germany and other European locations, minor laws and nominally directed by Cyril Endfield, with music by "Billy Strange" and cinematography by minor laws "Richard Angst." (One could hardly find a more suspicious-sounding list of names!) Although Roger Corman's name is nowhere on the credits, Corman is said to have produced the film, and the Internet Movie Database credits it to three directors: Endfield, Corman, and Gordon Hessler. Looking at the film itself, most of it was clearly directed by either Corman minor laws or someone who had carefully studied and attempted to duplicate the most obvious aspects of Corman's style (which could have been Hessler, insofar as he also directed AIP's Cormanesque The Oblong Box). The film bears no resemblance to any of Endfield's prior films (of which the best known is Zulu), and one suspects he had very little to do with it — other than to lend it a little prestige.
