Independent U.S. distributors Blue Underground have confirmed that they will release on Blu-ray cult Spanish director Jess Franco's film The Girl From Rio (1969), starring Shirley Eaton, Maria Rohm, Richard Wyler, George Sanders, Marta Reves, and Elisa Montés.

The upcoming Blu-ray release will also include Lindsay Shonteff''s film The Million Eyes of Sumur (1967), which is the prequel to The Girl From Rio.

The Girl From Rio

In the tradition of Barbarella and Danger: Diabolik comes this swinging '60s action orgy as bisexual super-villain Sumitra (the luscious Shirley Eaton of Goldfinger and The Blood Of Fu Manchu) launches a diabolical plan to enslave the male species with her army of lusty warrior women. But when Sumitra kidnaps a fugitive American playboy, she crosses a sadistic crime boss (Academy Award winner George Sanders of All About Eve and Village Of The Damned) and ignites a battle of the sexes that will bring Brazil to its knees in more ways than one. Get ready to experience director Jess Franco at his most erotic, exotic and bizarre. This is The Girl From Rio!

Richard Wyler (The Bounty Killer) and Maria Rohm (Eugenie, Justine) co-star in this kinky cult favorite (also known as Rio 70, Future Women and The Seven Secrets Of Sumuru), packed with go-go boots, miniskirts and outrageous Jess Franco style. The Girl From Rio is now presented totally uncut and uncensored with all its eye-popping nudity, torture and lesbianism fully restored from original vault elements.

The Million Eyes of Sumur

Sumuru is a beautiful but evil woman who plans world domination by having her sexy all-female army eliminate male leaders and replace them with her female agents. Starring Frankie Avalon, Klaus Kinski, George Nader, Shirley Eaton, and Maria Rohm.

Fantastic news. Hopefully, the next upgrade will be for Two Undercover Angels and Kiss Me Monster. This is Franco's best period

Blue Underground has been on a roll! Good to see that they also kept the lovely original cover.
