Thanks a lot, but not listed for her here because egafd, broadly speaking, doesn't list American films. This distinction is increasingly difficult to make, but modern films directed by Americans are easy to leave out - in the sense of easy to categorise. (We do list appearances by European actresses in American films roughly pre 1990 as there aren't many such films.)

Ah, I'd forgotten that policy. I tend to assume that egafd and bgafd differ only in geographical coverage.
Is there any mileage in my suggesting a modification to the policy? I can't help feeling that there is a real difference between on the one hand a European girl going to America and making a film (in which most of the male and female cast would be American as would of course be the location) and on the other an American director or company coming to Europe and making a film here using a European cast and setting. To my mind the latter, such as the case in hand, is a "European" film even though obviously technically American -- directed by an American and issued by an American company.

Already flogged to death, this one : -)
In the case of the Buttmans I think the strongest argument against
inclusion here is duplication. Iafd already have these fairly
well-ID'ed and they are, as you say, essentially US productions.
Alec's approach recently has been essentially [and admirably] ad hoc,
on a case-by-case basis; and there are different arguments that
could be adduced, say, for the inclusion of some Anabolic series
like the earlier 'Assman' volumes and the 'Euro Angels'- primarily,
IMO, for the ID info. they provide. The Hustler series such as
'Precious Pink' are IMO entirely Euro albeit marketed as US products-
and they also had later, retitled, Euro releases.
