Background and critical appraisal

Along with Mamoru Watanabe and Genji Nakamura, Banmei Takahashi was known as one of the "Three Pillars of Pink" before he made Girl Mistress. He was known for his stylistically unique approach to the genre which brought college students back to pink film theaters at this time, when Nikkatsu's Roman Porno series was beginning to lose its popularity among this audience.[1]

In their Japanese Cinema Encyclopedia: The Sex Films, Thomas and Yuko Mihara Weisser give Girl Mistress three-and-a-half out of four stars. Director Takahashi had already made a name for himself in the pink film through his films at Kōji Wakamatsu's production company, such as Raping the Sisters (1977) and Japanese Inquisition (1978), and films made at his own company, such as Attacking Girls and Scandal: Pleasure Trap (both 1979). However, according to the Weissers, Girl Mistress is the film which cemented his name in the history of pink cinema.[1]

Availability

Banmei Takahashi filmed Girl Mistress for his own Takahashi Productions and Kokuei and it was released theatrically in Japan by Shintōhō Eiga in October 1980.[3] Uplink released it on DVD as part of their Nippon Erotics series on June 28, 2002.[4][5]
