Sex on the Screen: Eroticism in Film

A frank examination of the portrayal of human sexuality in the movies discusses pornography, censorship, eroticism, voyeurism and homosexuality

Ever since Annette Kellerman appeared in Daughter of the Gods & Hedy Lamarr ran nude through the countryside in Ecstasy the sight of naked bodies on the screen has caused box office receipts to soar, audiences to gasp and critics to condemn. Sex on the Screen discusses at length these & other issues that have been & continue to be vital to the evolution of the cinema, including censorship & the rights of filmmakers and viewers. Loaded with provocative, no-holds-barred photographs. Translated into English from the French by D. Jacobs. Includes an Index. This is a great collection with a lot of pictures of naked ladies and some interesting text. There's some decent coverage of S&M themes that makes this one particularly good.
