Unholy Love (released in the United Kingdom as Deceit) is a 1932 American Pre-Code drama film, directed and produced by Albert Ray. It was the first film adaptation of the French novel Madame Bovary produced.
The film was quickly forgotten when more successful film adaptations of Madame Bovary were produced thereafter, such as Jean Renoir's 1934 version and Vincente Minnelli's 1949 version. For the 1932 film, Ray renamed all the characters and moved the location of the story to Rye, New York.
Alraune (also called Unholy Love, Mandrake, or A Daughter of Destiny) is a 1928 German silent science fiction horror film directed by Henrik Galeen and starring Brigitte Helm in which a prostitute is artificially inseminated with the semen of a hanged man. The story is based upon the legend of Alraune and the powers of the mandrake root to impregnate women. In this version the symbiosis caused by the sexual union between the human and the root causes the girl to kill all men who fall in love with her.
A Professor is specializing in genetics is ambitious to conduct an experiment with a woman of "low social status", by impregnating her with a mandrake. The plant is believed by legend to sprout from the semen of hanged prisoners. He instructs his young nephew, Franz, to obtain a woman from the "scum of society". Franz reluctantly retrieves a prostitute, and the experiment is performed on her.
You make it so easy
When you're making it rough
You won't make no promises
But you can't get enough
I feel like I'm standing
In the headlight beam
You come on like thunder
I know what this means
CHORUS
It's unholy love
Oh can't you see
This unholy love
You know is killing me
The sting of confusion
Then a kiss from your lips
You don't make it painless
And you don't make it quick
I hold on forever
Till I feel the sweet rush start
Then you're holding me closer
While you're breaking my heart
CHORUS
It's unholy love
Baby can't you see
It's unholy love
So good it's killing me
I feel like I'm standing
In the headlight beam
You come on like thunder
I know what this means
It's unholy love
