Background



The film marked one of the most significant performances of Junko Mabuki as Nikkatsu's second . Actor Masayoshi Nogami made a career playing brutal rapists, ranging from 'Seduction of the Flesh' (1968) to 'Office Lady Rope Slave'. He surprised the 'pink film' audience in 1983 by venturing into gay-themed 'pink films' with 'Legend of the Big Penis: Beautiful Mystery' and 'Mansion of Roses: Passion of Men'.Weisser, pp. 36, 229, 266.

Critical appraisal



In their 'Japanese Cinema Encyclopedia: The Sex Films', the Weissers give 'Office Lady Rope Slave' a negative review, giving it one and a half points out of four. They judge that Oniroku Dan's script shows none of the style that has made his work popular. They also fault director Fujii as being barely competent. "This is truly shabby entertainment," they conclude, "There's probably a redeeming maxim stuck somewhere in this mess, but the whole thing is too tasteless and too misogynist for anyone to care."
