Interesting facts

Sesso nero is a 1980 Italian adult drama film starring Mark Shannon, Annj Goren, Lucia Ramirez, and George Eastman, who also wrote the screenplay. It was produced, directed and photographed by Joe D'Amato.

Production

Sesso nero was the last of nine films D'Amato shot in the Dominican Republic in 1978 and 1979. The idea for the film came from George Eastman, who after losing all his money to gambling proposed to D'Amato to write the story and screenplay of a film in a single day, in exchange for a million lire. D'Amato accepted the proposal since the actors, the technicians and the locations of the previous films were still in place and ready to use.

In the official documentation, it is recorded that the production company changed from Fulvia Cin.ca to P.C.M. during the shoot, the latter being Produzioni Cinematografiche Massaccesi, the company founded by D'Amato, for whom this was the first of many films he produced on his own. Actor and screenwriter George Eastman remembers that the budget was 20 million lire.

Shooting began on November 12, 1979. The working titles were Amore ai tropici (literally: "Love in the tropics") and Much more. The film was shot on location in and around Santo Domingo.
