Second feature directed by avant-garde filmmaker Peter Emanuel Goldman, who is unknown to many of today's cinéphiles. David King writes in TCM that "Goldman was given a check by sexploitation producer Stanley Borden to produce a film that would play in the seedier cinemas around the country", that as "a sex film the film was a failure, but as a work of art it has many positive moments, including a wonderful performance by Ilona Lys" and that "a 'sexploitation' film in 1965 could probably be shown on children's television today". No copies seem to have survived, so until further notice "The Sensualist" seems to be a lost film.
