Although this is Part II, do not assume that the fiest film, Part A, is the first part of THIS film. It's not. The first film is Part A of another EDITION of this film. It's easy to determine: this is in color, the other one is not. Having gotten that out of the way, I wish I DID see part I, as this looks like one lulu of a movie. In just the we learn that you could have a plexiglass shower wall, trays, soap holders, towel holders, bedroom door, drawer handles, hat racks and so so so much more. This movie REALLY makes you chomp at the bit for more! This is a MUST SEE on this site!
