Doesn't George rent an erotic video version of
"Rochelle, Rochelle", lose the tape, and
borrow money from Susan to pay for it, etc.
etc.???
George wanted to return the Rochelle, Rochelle movie in The Smelly Car
(he runs into Susan and her Lesbian lover in the video store). He keeps
the video after the store was going to charge him a $2.00 charge for not
rewinding it. Kramer reminds him that it is cheaper to keep the video
for another day and to watch it again and rewind it. When Jerry and
George go to confront the maitre'd of the restaurant that the valet who
was responsible for the smell works for, the video is stolen from the
car (by a thief wearing a gas mask or without a sense of smell, I guess)
It's actually three times:
Rochelle, Rochelle is the movie everyone is trying to see in one episode.
In another, it's the video George returns when he runs into Susan and her
lesbian lover, and finally it's a broadway show in The Understudy.

Speaking of movies & Seinfeld; does anyone remember which episode
Jerry went to see 'Plan 9...'? and 'Prognosis: Negative'?
(Two different episodes!!)
In The Chinese Rest., Jerry, Elaine and George were planning to see Plan
9 after they finished dinner.
In an early episode from this season, The Postponement, Jerry went with
Kramer to see Plan 9 but Kramer was ejected for trying to smuggle the
boiling hot cafe Latte into the Theater.
If I remember rightly, Rochelle, Rochelle is also the movie that Kramer,
Jerry and one of Jerry's friends end up seeing when there is a mix up with
meeting Elaine at a movie theater.

Rochelle, Rochelle was also the alternative movie the Checkmate in
"the Movie"
so it's three times, not twice!

Correct.... Rochelle Rochelle has appeared 3 times...
It was showing at the cinemas in THE MOVIE.
"Oh Rochelle Rochelle, what are we going to do with you...."
It was out on video in THE SMELLY CAR
"Ahhh Rochelle Rochelle, lot of nudity in that...."
"Some....not frontal, mainly side-al nudity..."
It was a musical in THE UNDERSTUDY
"Can we start again, please ??? PLEASE ????"
I love listening to the dialogue of this film
in THE MOVIE - as Elaine says "GIVE ME A BREAK!".

You might be thinking of the "alternative version". :-)
I'm pretty sure the title is:
"Rochelle, Rochelle: A Young Woman's Journey from Milan to Minsk"

I agree that "Rochelle, Rochelle, an erotic journey from Milan to Minsk"
was the name of the video George rented.
Isn't it also the song Bette Midler sang to Kramer in the hospital? She
was starring in "Rochelle, Rochelle, the musical".
(Apologies if this has been noted earlier in this thread.)
Prognosis Negative was in "The Dog"
Plan 9 - I *think* is The Chinese Restaurnat..I'm not sure about that
one though..

ACtually, I think "an erotic journey..." is the slogan, tag line, etc.
From 'The Smelly Car':
"Rochelle, Rochelle: A young girl's strange erotic journey
from Milan to Minsk."
(coming soon to a Blockbuster near you!)

I always thought _Rochelle, Rochelle_ was loosely based on the EMMANUELLE
series of films. I believe they are French, and while the first one came out
in 1975 I seem to recall seeming EMMANUELLE 6 (!) on the shelf at a video
store recently. I have no idea how many have been made.
Here's a clip from Roger Ebert's review on MS-Cinemania '96:

Emmanuelle
US (1975): Drama/Romance
Roger Ebert Review: 3.0 stars out of 4
105 min, No rating, Color
EMMANUELLE is a silly, classy, enjoyable erotic film that became an all-time
box-office success in France. It's not remotely significant enough to deserve
that honor, but in terms of its genre (soft-core skin flick) it's very well
done: lushly photographed on location in Thailand, filled with attractive and
intriguing people, and scored with brittle, teasing music. Now that hard-core
porno has become passè, it's a relief to see a movie that drops the gynecology
and returns to a certain amount of sexy sophistication.
There have been movies influenced by other movies, and directors influenced by
other directors, but EMMANUELLE may be the first movie influenced by magazine
centerfolds. Its style of color photography seems directly ripped off from the
centerfolds in Penthouse, including even the props and decor. Its characters
(French diplomats and—especially—their women in Thailand) inhabit a world of
wicker furniture, soft pastels, vaguely Victorian lingerie, backlighting,
forests of potted plants, and lots of diaphanous draperies shifting in the
breeze. It's a world totally devoid of any real content, of course, and
Emmanuelle is right at home in it. She's the young, virginal wife of a
diplomat, and has just flown out from Paris to rejoin him. Her husband refuses
to be possessive, and indeed almost propels her into a dizzying series of
sexual encounters that range from the merely kinky to the truly bizarre. In
the midst of this erotic maelstrom, Emmanuelle somehow retains her innocence.

Hope this helps!
