Black humor and beautiful Sydne Rome

It's sad that it's difficult to find Sydne Rome in many films. She's a beautiful woman that moves with sensuous grace. I have only a copy of a copy of this rare film, and would love to have a DVD or even a good VHS copy. It's hard to find, and I suggest you watch it if you ever get a chance. Shelley Winters delivers as powerful performance as she did in "Mama, Bloody Mama". Sydne Rome appears with David Bowie in the 1979 film, "Just A Gigolo", and it's not easy to get either. She's also in "A Lucky Touch" with Roger Moore, and "At Last the 1948 Show" that was a series of comedy vignettes. She starred in the episode entitled "Sex With A Smile." Her filmography shows her to have been in a lot of German films.
