MORE SIN!

Holy Toledo, it's been about eight months since I've put anything on this blog. Life has been happening to me in a big way. I won't go into anything here, but suffice it to say that I've been going through a lot of stuff - both good and bad. Anyway...

I still have ten selections from my last pick of the litter that I never presented on the blog and I've been watching a few movies lately and got to thinking - "damn, it's about time I filed those selections away".

As per usual with these posts, I don't really have much to say about this one. I love Alain Delon (ever since I saw Le Samourai) and this one is filled with sexual tension and makes you feel what a hot, French summer is all about.
