Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:23,443 --> 00:00:25,502
Mrs. Robison, you're trying to
seduce me
2
00:00:29,349 --> 00:00:30,941
In a darkened theater...
3
00:00:32,285 --> 00:00:36,722
moviegoers by the millions indulge
their deepest fantasies
4
00:00:38,959 --> 00:00:42,258
And as they watch in a room
full of strangers...
5
00:00:42,495 --> 00:00:46,761
they experience the most intimate
and personaI act of all
6
00:00:47,367 --> 00:00:48,800
Let the games begin
7
00:00:54,975 --> 00:00:57,443
Sex on movie screens titillates us
8
00:00:57,677 --> 00:00:58,939
Do you mind if I get personaI?
9
00:00:59,412 --> 00:01:00,071
Go right ahead
10
00:01:00,313 --> 00:01:01,439
I don't mind if you get familiar
11
00:01:01,982 --> 00:01:03,677
It tantalizes us
12
00:01:04,150 --> 00:01:07,881
And above all it takes us on
a voyeuristic journey...
13
00:01:08,121 --> 00:01:10,282
that satisfies both our hearts
14
00:01:10,523 --> 00:01:12,650
I don't mind making a fooI of myself
over you
15
00:01:12,859 --> 00:01:14,451
And our animaI desires
16
00:01:14,694 --> 00:01:17,492
Orgy, have an orgy, orgy, orgy...
17
00:01:17,731 --> 00:01:20,757
And it does it at 14 frames per second
18
00:01:22,202 --> 00:01:25,729
It's strengthening in terms of what lurks
inside the human animaI...
19
00:01:25,972 --> 00:01:27,803
waiting to come out
under certain circumstances
20
00:01:30,644 --> 00:01:32,544
The unexpected is always
more interesting
21
00:01:32,779 --> 00:01:34,246
Danger is much more interesting
22
00:01:34,481 --> 00:01:36,472
Tell me Nicki were you frightened
last night?
23
00:01:36,683 --> 00:01:37,775
That's what made it so good
24
00:01:37,984 --> 00:01:39,349
I want to see lover scenes
25
00:01:39,552 --> 00:01:42,020
But I want to see desperate, romantic...
26
00:01:42,255 --> 00:01:44,553
I- can't-have-her-but-I-really-need-her
love scenes
27
00:01:44,758 --> 00:01:47,386
Hey, Stella!
28
00:01:47,761 --> 00:01:48,785
Everybody does sex...
29
00:01:48,995 --> 00:01:51,589
but I want to do something that
everybody does sell
30
00:01:53,333 --> 00:01:54,163
We are sexuaI beings and...
31
00:01:54,401 --> 00:01:55,299
we should be celebrating it
32
00:01:55,535 --> 00:01:56,866
Having fun, kiddies?
33
00:01:57,937 --> 00:02:01,338
A lot of people just think
men just love huge whatever...
34
00:02:01,875 --> 00:02:05,743
but what is sexy to most actors...
35
00:02:06,012 --> 00:02:07,775
is talent
36
00:02:08,014 --> 00:02:09,481
Secondly, humor...
37
00:02:10,350 --> 00:02:13,251
and third, 38 D cup
38
00:02:30,503 --> 00:02:34,337
Today, western society is
more sexualized than ever
39
00:02:36,309 --> 00:02:37,606
And throughout the world...
40
00:02:37,844 --> 00:02:41,245
people feed on lurid tidbits of
erotic indiscretion
41
00:02:42,882 --> 00:02:44,645
Sex really does sell everything from...
42
00:02:44,884 --> 00:02:48,547
cosmetic to clothes to the music
you hear
43
00:02:48,788 --> 00:02:51,882
I think the world
is driven by sex because...
44
00:02:52,092 --> 00:02:53,923
it's the most fascinating part of your life
45
00:02:54,694 --> 00:02:57,595
Sex also fills the movie screens
of America
46
00:02:57,831 --> 00:02:59,526
But after more than a century...
47
00:02:59,733 --> 00:03:01,325
Hollywood continues to struggle in
48
00:03:01,568 --> 00:03:04,093
deciding how far it dares to go...
49
00:03:04,337 --> 00:03:06,464
in dramatizing the most private and...
50
00:03:06,706 --> 00:03:09,140
controversiaI act of human behavior
51
00:03:09,376 --> 00:03:11,037
What does your therapist say
about all this?
52
00:03:11,244 --> 00:03:12,472
I could never tell my therapist
53
00:03:12,679 --> 00:03:13,373
Why not?
54
00:03:13,613 --> 00:03:14,443
Because it's private
55
00:03:15,048 --> 00:03:16,572
I think this is a mistake
56
00:03:17,117 --> 00:03:18,812
There's no such things as a mistake
57
00:03:19,018 --> 00:03:19,712
There's what you do...
58
00:03:19,819 --> 00:03:20,786
and what you don't do
59
00:03:25,792 --> 00:03:27,419
There's released in 2002...
60
00:03:27,660 --> 00:03:29,628
the romantic drama UnfaithfuI...
61
00:03:29,863 --> 00:03:31,797
explored the disastrous consequences...
62
00:03:32,031 --> 00:03:34,124
of a wild, extramaritaI affair
63
00:03:40,707 --> 00:03:44,666
It's kind of an anatomy of an adultery
64
00:03:44,911 --> 00:03:48,347
It's about guilt and suspicion
and this sort of stuff
65
00:03:48,715 --> 00:03:49,739
You know when we could end this now
66
00:03:49,949 --> 00:03:51,109
and no one would get hurt
67
00:03:52,018 --> 00:03:55,317
Yeah? I think if we ended this now...
68
00:03:56,122 --> 00:03:57,180
I'd get hurt
69
00:03:58,725 --> 00:04:01,125
So, no matter what someone gets hurt?
70
00:04:01,361 --> 00:04:02,385
Maybe not...
71
00:04:03,463 --> 00:04:05,226
maybe we get tired of each other
72
00:04:06,166 --> 00:04:07,997
God, I hope I get tired of you
73
00:04:08,968 --> 00:04:10,401
It's kind of an emotionaI ride
74
00:04:10,603 --> 00:04:11,695
where you go through...
75
00:04:12,839 --> 00:04:16,741
things that you would love to
have happened in your life
76
00:04:17,010 --> 00:04:18,307
I have friends out there
77
00:04:19,979 --> 00:04:22,277
Things that you would be horrified...
78
00:04:22,482 --> 00:04:23,915
at getting through...
79
00:04:24,150 --> 00:04:25,617
and getting away with in your life
80
00:04:26,519 --> 00:04:28,077
You take me to the best places
81
00:04:30,223 --> 00:04:32,088
But candid, sexuaI dramas like
82
00:04:32,358 --> 00:04:33,154
UnfaithfuI...
83
00:04:33,393 --> 00:04:36,385
remain the exception to the rule
in modern Hollywood
84
00:04:36,629 --> 00:04:37,527
Yeah, I want you to
85
00:04:41,601 --> 00:04:47,562
At a time when target audiences are
more PG-13 than R or NC-1/...
86
00:04:47,807 --> 00:04:49,934
sex in mainstream movies is often
87
00:04:50,210 --> 00:04:52,337
more kiss and tell than show and tell
88
00:04:52,712 --> 00:04:54,270
I think Hollywood sort of had love-hate
89
00:04:54,514 --> 00:04:57,347
love-hate relationship with sex
from the very beginning
90
00:04:57,817 --> 00:04:59,546
because they want you to see these
movies...
91
00:04:59,786 --> 00:05:01,947
but they also want to see as many ppI
as possible to come and see their films
92
00:05:02,188 --> 00:05:04,383
So, they're a little bit afraid of
pushing the envelope
93
00:05:05,558 --> 00:05:07,549
Holy shit
94
00:05:08,361 --> 00:05:10,022
You know there's no lock on your door
95
00:05:10,230 --> 00:05:12,027
Hollywood is always going to sell sex
96
00:05:12,265 --> 00:05:14,290
But a lot of times it's just the promise
of sex
97
00:05:14,501 --> 00:05:15,832
So are we going to screw soon...
98
00:05:16,069 --> 00:05:17,832
cause I'm getting kind of antsy?
99
00:05:18,671 --> 00:05:22,004
A lot of today's stars have probably
done more explicit...
100
00:05:22,308 --> 00:05:24,776
photo layouts for magazines than
101
00:05:24,978 --> 00:05:26,070
they've done actually in the movies
102
00:05:26,312 --> 00:05:27,176
All of a sudden...
103
00:05:27,447 --> 00:05:29,005
No, no, no, I'm not going to do
a nude scene
104
00:05:29,516 --> 00:05:33,145
I think it's only in America that
people are, you know...
105
00:05:33,386 --> 00:05:36,219
obsessed with is there too much sex?
106
00:05:36,389 --> 00:05:38,448
And never, Is there too little sex?
107
00:05:39,259 --> 00:05:41,659
America have a strange take on
108
00:05:41,928 --> 00:05:44,488
how much is acceptable
and what's acceptable
109
00:05:44,731 --> 00:05:45,959
And that when we can go to a movie...
110
00:05:46,633 --> 00:05:47,998
and watch Arnold Schwarzenegger...
111
00:05:48,234 --> 00:05:49,223
blow everybody to bits...
112
00:05:49,469 --> 00:05:51,130
that's ok for our 12-year-olds
113
00:05:51,337 --> 00:05:54,966
But seeing a couple tongue kissing
is bad
114
00:05:55,275 --> 00:05:56,765
I don't know where that came from
115
00:05:57,043 --> 00:05:59,341
How's my stomach taste?
116
00:05:59,812 --> 00:06:03,748
The story of sex in the movie is partly
a story of morality...
117
00:06:03,983 --> 00:06:07,680
and America's offer uncomfortable
relationship with the erotic
118
00:06:07,954 --> 00:06:09,251
Take away the guilt...
119
00:06:09,489 --> 00:06:11,184
and who'd ever want to get laid?
120
00:06:11,424 --> 00:06:13,085
The main impact of Hollywood films has
121
00:06:13,359 --> 00:06:15,657
always been to define what's normaI
122
00:06:16,396 --> 00:06:20,492
And that's nowhere more evident than
in human intimacy, sexually
123
00:06:21,834 --> 00:06:25,497
But some directors push beyond
perceived sociaI norms
124
00:06:25,738 --> 00:06:28,298
Among the most adventurous is
PauI Verhoeven...
125
00:06:28,541 --> 00:06:30,406
who's brought his own erotic passions
126
00:06:30,643 --> 00:06:32,702
to a string of box office hits
127
00:06:33,146 --> 00:06:35,671
I try not to do sex scenes that
I don't know about
128
00:06:35,915 --> 00:06:38,475
I try not to do things that
I have no knowledge about
129
00:06:38,718 --> 00:06:40,151
How's it feeI to kill someone?
130
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:45,019
I would just dig into the encounters
I've had with women in my life...
131
00:06:45,558 --> 00:06:47,617
and try to fill it in...
132
00:06:47,827 --> 00:06:49,692
in a way that I know is true
133
00:06:50,763 --> 00:06:55,598
The more it can make you feeI like
the audience is a fly on the wall
134
00:06:55,835 --> 00:07:00,704
that they're privy to some grand,
spontaneous moment...
135
00:07:00,940 --> 00:07:02,840
that's when it works
136
00:07:03,910 --> 00:07:06,071
When you starts sort of being decorous
about it...
137
00:07:06,346 --> 00:07:09,179
and putting the sheet here,
and putting the ass there...
138
00:07:09,449 --> 00:07:12,316
and moving them around like that
it just becomes...
139
00:07:12,619 --> 00:07:14,484
It's disaster, disaster
140
00:07:16,089 --> 00:07:17,750
During the last 2 decades...
141
00:07:17,957 --> 00:07:20,585
sex in the cinema has usually
been used...
142
00:07:20,827 --> 00:07:23,921
to show price to be paid for
the wages of sin
143
00:07:24,163 --> 00:07:25,653
You want to pretend like
it never happened?
144
00:07:28,635 --> 00:07:31,968
Or it's provided a below the belt
punch line in a comedy
145
00:07:35,742 --> 00:07:38,575
It also continues to stimulate controversy
146
00:07:38,811 --> 00:07:39,778
It's alright
147
00:07:40,580 --> 00:07:41,945
It'll be our little secret
148
00:07:42,148 --> 00:07:45,777
As studios use sex to target a younger
and younger audience
149
00:07:46,219 --> 00:07:47,550
Maybe not so little
150
00:07:49,288 --> 00:07:52,883
But as movie budgets climb beyond
the $100 million dollar mark...
151
00:07:53,126 --> 00:07:55,754
studios eager to attract a huge crowd...
152
00:07:56,029 --> 00:07:58,759
often take a play-it-safe approach to sex
153
00:07:59,499 --> 00:08:02,366
And that's given a boost to
one edgy rivaI...
154
00:08:02,602 --> 00:08:03,569
Television
155
00:08:03,803 --> 00:08:05,134
In cable television...
156
00:08:05,471 --> 00:08:07,701
you actually are gaining audience by
157
00:08:07,940 --> 00:08:11,899
making the materiaI more interesting...
and controversiaI
158
00:08:12,178 --> 00:08:15,045
In 'Sex in the City', you have surprising
stuff happening...
159
00:08:15,281 --> 00:08:16,213
every week where you go...
160
00:08:16,449 --> 00:08:18,474
I can't believe I just saw that
on television
161
00:08:18,918 --> 00:08:20,476
If you're willing to go out and
162
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,416
actually promote it then sex can sell...
163
00:08:23,623 --> 00:08:27,184
and certainly with our series
Queer as Folk...
164
00:08:27,427 --> 00:08:28,655
it's all about sex
165
00:08:28,861 --> 00:08:30,294
If you don't want to watch...
166
00:08:30,596 --> 00:08:32,757
the first amendment is a beautifuI thing
167
00:08:33,066 --> 00:08:34,294
You don't have to...
168
00:08:34,500 --> 00:08:36,627
but it also protects the right of
the people...
169
00:08:36,836 --> 00:08:38,929
who do want to watch that kind of a story
170
00:08:39,405 --> 00:08:41,532
But Hollywood hasn't always been shy...
171
00:08:41,774 --> 00:08:44,834
about exploring adult sexuality
on the big screen
172
00:08:44,944 --> 00:08:47,435
Film made sex visible
173
00:08:47,747 --> 00:08:49,544
Film made sex beautifuI
174
00:08:49,816 --> 00:08:54,116
Film captured the enthusiasm and
reckless abandon
175
00:08:54,353 --> 00:08:58,790
And gave us memories that will keep us
warm well into our dotage
176
00:08:58,991 --> 00:09:01,016
When it's hot like this you know
what I do?
177
00:09:01,260 --> 00:09:02,887
I keep my undies in the ice box
178
00:09:03,730 --> 00:09:04,662
In the ice box?
179
00:09:05,198 --> 00:09:05,994
See you in a minute
180
00:09:06,299 --> 00:09:08,358
Hollywood's attitude towards the erotic...
181
00:09:08,601 --> 00:09:10,364
has always ebbed and flowed...
182
00:09:10,603 --> 00:09:13,163
amid the changing tides of
public morality
183
00:09:13,306 --> 00:09:15,035
I think we should just play it by ear
184
00:09:15,608 --> 00:09:17,701
It's a story and a battle...
185
00:09:17,910 --> 00:09:20,344
that began at the dawn of
the 20th Century...
186
00:09:20,613 --> 00:09:24,071
when the first erotic images flickered
onto movie screens
187
00:09:31,958 --> 00:09:34,449
From the time that movies first moved...
188
00:09:34,694 --> 00:09:37,390
in primitive theaters and
crude peep shows...
189
00:09:38,397 --> 00:09:40,228
sex was on the screen
190
00:09:41,167 --> 00:09:43,692
It shocked and it titillated
191
00:09:43,936 --> 00:09:46,097
It outraged and it allured
192
00:09:46,506 --> 00:09:49,566
One of the first successfuI movies...
193
00:09:50,209 --> 00:09:50,937
was The Kiss
194
00:09:51,177 --> 00:09:52,838
It was a little loop that showed this
195
00:09:53,079 --> 00:09:54,774
middle-aged couple nibbling each other
196
00:09:54,981 --> 00:09:56,539
But it was advertised as:
197
00:09:56,749 --> 00:09:59,741
At last the mysteries of
the kiss revealed...
198
00:10:00,019 --> 00:10:02,010
Science said kissing is dangerous...
199
00:10:02,221 --> 00:10:06,123
but we will show you in startling
revelation the every detaiI
200
00:10:06,325 --> 00:10:07,053
Well, that...
201
00:10:07,293 --> 00:10:10,319
little reeI ran for 10 years in New York
202
00:10:11,664 --> 00:10:13,222
Some viewers protested
203
00:10:13,499 --> 00:10:15,467
But millions more patronized
204
00:10:15,701 --> 00:10:18,192
Most were hungry to explore
the forbidden...
205
00:10:18,404 --> 00:10:21,840
and journey to secret places
they'd never seen before
206
00:10:26,913 --> 00:10:29,541
One of the places they wanted to
explore most...
207
00:10:29,816 --> 00:10:30,942
was the bedroom
208
00:10:31,651 --> 00:10:35,644
And thanks to movies a cinematic
Kamasutra was born
209
00:10:37,423 --> 00:10:39,948
The audience was primarily
immigrants...
210
00:10:40,159 --> 00:10:42,753
people who in many cases didn't even
speak English yet
211
00:10:42,995 --> 00:10:45,486
Yet, they're watching these images
on a screen...
212
00:10:45,731 --> 00:10:46,356
larger than life...
213
00:10:46,632 --> 00:10:47,496
and they're seeing:
214
00:10:47,767 --> 00:10:50,258
Oh, this is how things are done
in America
215
00:11:00,379 --> 00:11:01,641
By the 1920s...
216
00:11:01,881 --> 00:11:05,544
Hollywood had created their first
sex God...
217
00:11:05,785 --> 00:11:06,911
and Goddesses
218
00:11:07,153 --> 00:11:09,883
Thata Vera was our first reaI sex symboI
219
00:11:10,089 --> 00:11:13,081
And she was a Hollywood creation
220
00:11:13,726 --> 00:11:17,958
She portrayed a woman with a sexuaI
agenda of her own...
221
00:11:18,197 --> 00:11:20,961
who would prey on men
222
00:11:23,970 --> 00:11:26,370
This was shocking to America and...
223
00:11:26,572 --> 00:11:27,800
it was also entrancing
224
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,531
She, her films made millions of dollars
225
00:11:36,315 --> 00:11:39,512
Valentino came in the era of
arrow collars...
226
00:11:39,752 --> 00:11:41,515
clean-cut Americans
227
00:11:41,721 --> 00:11:44,485
And here comes somebody
who is slinky and...
228
00:11:44,724 --> 00:11:46,214
brilliantine hair...
229
00:11:46,425 --> 00:11:48,723
and it's a whole different kind of ethic
230
00:11:48,928 --> 00:11:50,122
He was so popular that...
231
00:11:50,363 --> 00:11:51,455
young men referred to themselves as...
232
00:11:51,697 --> 00:11:53,597
Sheiks and girlfriends as Shebas
233
00:11:57,603 --> 00:11:59,230
During Hollywood's infancy...
234
00:11:59,472 --> 00:12:02,669
and its flickering creations first
began to speak...
235
00:12:02,942 --> 00:12:03,966
Shut up
236
00:12:04,243 --> 00:12:08,509
Movie makers realized that audiences
were most comfortable with sex...
237
00:12:09,282 --> 00:12:11,807
if it was clouded in a biblicaI context
238
00:12:12,084 --> 00:12:13,779
Take off your clothes
239
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:15,644
Get in here and tell me all about it
240
00:12:16,789 --> 00:12:19,986
For having outrageous
sexuaI situations...
241
00:12:20,226 --> 00:12:23,684
in a sanctioned environment...
242
00:12:23,963 --> 00:12:25,828
you know there is absolutely nothing
better than Bible stories
243
00:12:26,132 --> 00:12:29,101
And they were seized on
most spectacularly...
244
00:12:29,302 --> 00:12:31,065
by director CeciI B. Demille...
245
00:12:31,304 --> 00:12:33,067
who in movies like Sign of the Cross
was able to...
246
00:12:33,306 --> 00:12:37,766
do sort of advanced, cinematic,
sadomasochism
247
00:12:38,010 --> 00:12:39,568
Delicious debauchery
248
00:12:39,812 --> 00:12:41,973
To me, 'The Sign of the Cross' is
the most...
249
00:12:42,214 --> 00:12:43,738
In many ways, the most...
250
00:12:44,083 --> 00:12:46,108
shocking of all the pre-code movies
251
00:12:48,187 --> 00:12:49,176
We have this dance
252
00:12:49,488 --> 00:12:51,479
Dance, dance the baked moon
253
00:12:51,924 --> 00:12:54,290
This woman does the dance of
the naked moon...
254
00:12:54,527 --> 00:12:57,758
and she is caressing this innocent,
virginaI, Christian character
255
00:12:57,997 --> 00:13:00,329
And it's very sensuous
256
00:13:08,941 --> 00:13:11,307
And the people who are watching
her dance...
257
00:13:11,544 --> 00:13:13,774
are shown to be visibly aroused
258
00:13:14,847 --> 00:13:16,508
But during the 1930s...
259
00:13:16,749 --> 00:13:19,650
not every director hid behind
the skirt of religion...
260
00:13:19,885 --> 00:13:21,785
to turn a spotlight on sex
261
00:13:22,221 --> 00:13:25,588
Some dared to show more than a hint
of bare skin
262
00:13:25,791 --> 00:13:28,726
In films like MGM's 1934 adventure tale
263
00:13:28,961 --> 00:13:30,053
Tarzan and his Mate
264
00:13:30,363 --> 00:13:31,421
Wait Tarzan
265
00:13:34,633 --> 00:13:37,466
The movie starred Olympic swimming
champ Johnny Weissmuller...
266
00:13:37,670 --> 00:13:38,864
and Maureen O-Sullivan...
267
00:13:39,105 --> 00:13:41,733
who was body-doubled for a Risque
swimming scene
268
00:13:50,683 --> 00:13:51,775
Darling, you're very...
269
00:13:52,585 --> 00:13:53,449
During the 30s...
270
00:13:53,652 --> 00:13:56,450
you had movies where sex was
front and center...
271
00:13:56,689 --> 00:14:00,455
and went punished and was
tremendously enjoyable...
272
00:14:00,693 --> 00:14:01,785
to the participants
273
00:14:02,061 --> 00:14:03,790
Now that I've met you sociably...
274
00:14:04,030 --> 00:14:05,122
what shall we talk about?
275
00:14:06,932 --> 00:14:08,229
Do we have to talk?
276
00:14:10,002 --> 00:14:12,698
I'll stop a car and I won't use my thumb
277
00:14:22,114 --> 00:14:26,175
Sex was also front and center in
severaI sophisticated dramas
278
00:14:26,419 --> 00:14:27,545
May I see you again?
279
00:14:27,787 --> 00:14:30,085
If you don't take me out
someone else will
280
00:14:30,723 --> 00:14:33,715
Of human bondage brought stardom
to better Davis...
281
00:14:33,926 --> 00:14:35,723
in the roll of a Wanton waitress
282
00:14:35,961 --> 00:14:38,327
Some people would do better to mind
their own business
283
00:14:38,564 --> 00:14:41,397
Who uses sex to manipulate
a sensitive doctor...
284
00:14:41,734 --> 00:14:43,292
played by Leslie Howard
285
00:14:43,569 --> 00:14:44,968
You disgust me
286
00:14:45,971 --> 00:14:46,938
Me?
287
00:14:48,274 --> 00:14:49,798
I disgust you?
288
00:14:50,042 --> 00:14:53,170
You cad, you dirty swine
289
00:14:53,512 --> 00:14:55,275
I never cared for you, not once
290
00:14:55,481 --> 00:14:57,039
I was always making a fooI of you
291
00:14:57,249 --> 00:14:59,376
You bored me stiff, I hated you
292
00:14:59,585 --> 00:15:02,213
It made me sick when I had to
let you kiss me
293
00:15:02,455 --> 00:15:03,979
I only did it because you begged me
294
00:15:04,256 --> 00:15:04,813
You hounded me
295
00:15:05,091 --> 00:15:06,456
You drive me crazy
296
00:15:06,725 --> 00:15:07,987
And after you kissed me...
297
00:15:08,227 --> 00:15:09,956
I always used to wipe my mouth
298
00:15:10,229 --> 00:15:11,821
Wipe my mouth!
299
00:15:15,201 --> 00:15:17,795
In the early 1930s as depression-era...
300
00:15:18,070 --> 00:15:20,800
audience yearned for excitement
and escape
301
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:25,443
A new generation of sexy screen sirens
tantalized moviegoers
302
00:15:25,845 --> 00:15:27,312
There were beautifuI women,
sexy women,...
303
00:15:27,646 --> 00:15:31,082
the sexiest women in the world
on the screen
304
00:15:31,350 --> 00:15:33,409
Scandals, they're everywhere
305
00:15:33,686 --> 00:15:36,382
They're in the air and who
put them there?
306
00:15:36,589 --> 00:15:40,753
You, you and you, you nasty man
307
00:15:41,994 --> 00:15:44,963
There was Fox's resident vamp
Alice Faye
308
00:15:45,231 --> 00:15:45,959
New Yorker?
309
00:15:46,265 --> 00:15:48,927
Not native, I was born in the
Virgin Islands
310
00:15:49,768 --> 00:15:51,565
You must have left there when you were
quite young
311
00:15:52,037 --> 00:15:55,939
Alice Faye was a combination of
sexuality and vulnerability
312
00:15:56,942 --> 00:15:59,376
You know there was a lot of
Marilyn Monroe in her
313
00:16:00,045 --> 00:16:02,343
Don't you want to seaI the bargain
with a little kiss?
314
00:16:03,649 --> 00:16:06,516
While Alice Faye was steaming up
the set at Fox...
315
00:16:06,752 --> 00:16:10,483
MGM had platinum blonde firecracker
Jean Harlow
316
00:16:10,956 --> 00:16:13,891
Harlow achieved stardom
in the early 1930s
317
00:16:14,260 --> 00:16:16,455
Striking sexy poses for photographers
318
00:16:16,695 --> 00:16:19,493
and movie cameras in hits like
Red dust...
319
00:16:19,732 --> 00:16:21,324
costarring Clark Gable
320
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,462
Can't a girI take a bath
in privacy without...
321
00:16:26,005 --> 00:16:27,029
Good morning
322
00:16:28,741 --> 00:16:30,834
I would have loved to have known
Jean Harlow
323
00:16:31,076 --> 00:16:32,737
I would have loved to have known
Chrole Lombard
324
00:16:35,147 --> 00:16:36,478
I don't like that, shit
325
00:16:36,815 --> 00:16:38,715
They had a great sense of humor
326
00:16:38,918 --> 00:16:41,045
No, not only does it make me have
something to think of...
327
00:16:41,287 --> 00:16:42,117
something to think of...
328
00:16:42,354 --> 00:16:43,981
I got that far, holy, Jesus Christ
329
00:16:44,590 --> 00:16:48,356
It was Carole Lombard who was
the Queen of screwball comedies
330
00:16:48,627 --> 00:16:52,358
Who showed just how fabulously sexy
absolute silliness could be
331
00:16:52,598 --> 00:16:55,761
Just sit right down there like a good girI
332
00:16:55,968 --> 00:16:59,529
And in just a minute you'll forget that
you had any troubles
333
00:17:00,239 --> 00:17:02,070
I thought so, let that be a lesson to you
334
00:17:05,978 --> 00:17:10,574
Paramount Pictures also shaped
an erotic icon out of German-born siren...
335
00:17:10,783 --> 00:17:14,844
Marlene Dietrich who daringly targeted
both men and women...
336
00:17:15,087 --> 00:17:16,714
with her sexuaI allure
337
00:17:17,389 --> 00:17:18,481
But above all...
338
00:17:18,724 --> 00:17:20,021
there was Mae West
339
00:17:20,226 --> 00:17:21,625
You're an universaI sort of person
340
00:17:21,827 --> 00:17:23,317
Yeah, I've been accused of that
341
00:17:23,562 --> 00:17:24,790
Queen of the sex quip
342
00:17:24,997 --> 00:17:26,965
I am delighted, I have heard so much
about you
343
00:17:27,166 --> 00:17:28,463
Yeah, but you can't prove it
344
00:17:28,734 --> 00:17:30,429
Who shimmied her hourglass figure
345
00:17:30,636 --> 00:17:32,297
from Broadway to Hollywood
346
00:17:32,538 --> 00:17:34,165
Haven't you ever met a man that
can make you happy?
347
00:17:34,506 --> 00:17:36,974
Sure, lots of times
348
00:17:37,209 --> 00:17:39,837
And took suggestiveness as far as
it would go
349
00:17:40,379 --> 00:17:41,812
You were wonderfuI tonight
350
00:17:42,147 --> 00:17:44,274
I'm always wonderfuI at night
351
00:17:44,850 --> 00:17:46,750
Yes, but tonight you were especially
good
352
00:17:46,952 --> 00:17:49,250
Well, when I'm good I'm very good
353
00:17:49,455 --> 00:17:51,821
But when I'm bad, I'm better
354
00:17:52,191 --> 00:17:53,988
Mae West kidded sex
355
00:17:54,193 --> 00:17:55,455
I've got to be getting back to the mission
356
00:17:55,694 --> 00:17:57,161
Sally's father is waiting for me
357
00:17:57,396 --> 00:17:58,454
That ought to be interesting
358
00:17:58,697 --> 00:18:02,394
And no one was used to that and
it really ruffled a lot of feathers
359
00:18:02,701 --> 00:18:03,725
People were very upset about that
360
00:18:03,936 --> 00:18:06,200
But of course her films made
a huge amount of money
361
00:18:07,506 --> 00:18:08,370
oh, mama
362
00:18:09,074 --> 00:18:13,204
Mae West single-handedly saved
Paramount Studios
363
00:18:13,545 --> 00:18:14,102
Suckers
364
00:18:14,246 --> 00:18:19,013
And once again Hollywood learned
the basic lesson when in doubt...
365
00:18:19,251 --> 00:18:20,115
go to sex
366
00:18:20,352 --> 00:18:22,650
Why did you admit knowing
so many men in your life?
367
00:18:23,255 --> 00:18:24,984
Well, it's not the men in your life...
that count
368
00:18:25,190 --> 00:18:26,521
It's the life in your men
369
00:18:26,759 --> 00:18:30,160
While Mae West was finding comedy
in man's favorite sport...
370
00:18:30,496 --> 00:18:32,430
European filmmakers were also
371
00:18:32,631 --> 00:18:35,361
creating milestones in screen sensuality
372
00:18:36,068 --> 00:18:40,027
In 1933 audiences around the world
were stunned
373
00:18:40,239 --> 00:18:41,433
And stimulated...
374
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:43,870
by one of the boldest depictions of sex...
375
00:18:44,109 --> 00:18:45,599
ever put on movie screens
376
00:18:46,078 --> 00:18:48,672
Ekstase made in Czechoslovakia...
377
00:18:48,881 --> 00:18:51,543
cast a stunning brunette
named Hedy Kiesler...
378
00:18:51,784 --> 00:18:55,117
in the story of a bride who embarks on
a secret affairs...
379
00:18:55,354 --> 00:18:57,652
after learning that her husband
is impotent
380
00:18:58,857 --> 00:19:02,918
We deny that Ekstase is either
indecent or immoraI
381
00:19:03,162 --> 00:19:05,630
After two years of legaI warfare...
382
00:19:05,831 --> 00:19:07,355
Ekstase is now in this country with...
383
00:19:07,633 --> 00:19:09,601
the approvaI of the United States
Government
384
00:19:10,202 --> 00:19:12,966
Ekstase was talked about endlessly
385
00:19:13,806 --> 00:19:16,366
Because of its sexuaI content and
because it made...
386
00:19:16,642 --> 00:19:18,940
the unknown Czech actress
387
00:19:19,178 --> 00:19:21,237
Hedy Kiesler into Hedy Lamarr
388
00:19:21,914 --> 00:19:24,610
It has a scene of her running naked
through the woods
389
00:19:24,883 --> 00:19:26,316
It has a scene of her...
390
00:19:27,486 --> 00:19:28,817
reaching climax
391
00:19:29,054 --> 00:19:31,249
Her face during orgasm...
392
00:19:31,724 --> 00:19:34,215
40-feet high on a silver screen...
393
00:19:34,460 --> 00:19:37,452
Breathtaking, it's still powerfuI to this day
394
00:19:39,264 --> 00:19:40,663
But back in America...
395
00:19:40,866 --> 00:19:43,835
opposition was growing to such
freedom of expression...
396
00:19:44,069 --> 00:19:45,866
and in 1934...
397
00:19:46,105 --> 00:19:47,766
after years of protests...
398
00:19:48,006 --> 00:19:50,941
the Catholic Legion of Decency
stunned Hollywood...
399
00:19:51,176 --> 00:19:53,269
by threatening an industry boycott if
400
00:19:53,512 --> 00:19:55,912
studios didn't clamp down on sex
401
00:19:56,582 --> 00:19:59,779
The power they had rested in the fact
that at Sunday mass...
402
00:20:00,052 --> 00:20:01,542
they could tell millions of the Catholics...
403
00:20:01,787 --> 00:20:04,881
that on pain of undermining their souI...
404
00:20:05,124 --> 00:20:09,185
they must not go to the most movies that
the legion was condemning
405
00:20:10,129 --> 00:20:12,359
Studios had long turned a blind eye to...
406
00:20:12,598 --> 00:20:15,897
production code guidelines created
in 1930...
407
00:20:16,135 --> 00:20:20,367
that were supposed to be enforces
by America's ex-postmaster GeneraI...
408
00:20:20,672 --> 00:20:21,570
Will Hays
409
00:20:21,807 --> 00:20:26,676
The code sets up high standards of
performance for motion pic producers
410
00:20:26,945 --> 00:20:32,440
You want entertainment...
wholesome, interesting and vitaI
411
00:20:32,684 --> 00:20:37,712
This the motion picture industry
is pledged to provide
412
00:20:38,490 --> 00:20:40,048
There had been a code
413
00:20:40,225 --> 00:20:43,422
But no one followed it untiI around 1934
414
00:20:43,662 --> 00:20:47,223
And that's when Hollywood decided to
police itself rather than have...
415
00:20:47,566 --> 00:20:49,932
the powers-that-be come in and
do it for them
416
00:20:50,335 --> 00:20:53,429
The code was now strictly enforced
under the watch of...
417
00:20:53,672 --> 00:20:55,936
a Roman Catholic ex-newspaperman...
418
00:20:56,141 --> 00:20:57,836
named Joseph Breen
419
00:20:58,076 --> 00:21:01,068
SexuaI situations were now
strictly forbidden
420
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:03,714
And after a string of saucy hits like...
421
00:21:03,982 --> 00:21:05,074
I'm No AngeI
422
00:21:05,317 --> 00:21:09,219
Mae West was among those
whose wings were seriously clipped
423
00:21:09,721 --> 00:21:12,315
Don't forget, come up and
see me sometime
424
00:21:12,524 --> 00:21:13,855
There's no Mae West after the code
425
00:21:14,059 --> 00:21:15,185
I mean they don't have the bite...
426
00:21:15,461 --> 00:21:17,622
the snap, the originality of
the one's before
427
00:21:18,497 --> 00:21:20,931
Sex in American film became relegated
428
00:21:21,133 --> 00:21:23,158
to the world of exploitation movies...
429
00:21:23,402 --> 00:21:26,929
made on the cheap and thrown
in fly-by-night screening venues
430
00:21:27,139 --> 00:21:28,766
But no one could keep sex out of...
431
00:21:29,007 --> 00:21:30,804
Hollywood films completely
432
00:21:31,043 --> 00:21:32,738
And despite the puritanicaI rules...
433
00:21:32,978 --> 00:21:34,275
of the production code...
434
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:36,744
moviemakers would find
subversive ways...
435
00:21:36,982 --> 00:21:39,348
to keep sex alive on the big screen
436
00:21:42,221 --> 00:21:45,816
Here's the gorgeous,
tantalizing lady Eve
437
00:21:46,124 --> 00:21:48,058
Now watch her go into action
438
00:21:48,293 --> 00:21:50,318
During the 1930s and 40s
439
00:21:50,529 --> 00:21:54,124
the rigid restrictions of censors
couldn't stop Hollywood filmmakers
440
00:21:54,399 --> 00:21:56,367
from talking about sex
441
00:21:58,770 --> 00:22:03,173
Once filmmakers couldn't be as brazen
in the way they treated sexuality...
442
00:22:03,408 --> 00:22:06,434
they actually got sneaky either with
images or language
443
00:22:06,712 --> 00:22:07,337
So you found...
444
00:22:07,613 --> 00:22:10,912
things like smoking got to be
very sexualized and...
445
00:22:11,483 --> 00:22:11,949
you know...
446
00:22:12,184 --> 00:22:13,811
they went crazy with double-entendres
447
00:22:14,152 --> 00:22:15,449
Nice chassis, Joe?
448
00:22:15,754 --> 00:22:16,880
Classy chassis
449
00:22:17,089 --> 00:22:18,613
Yeah, and it all belongs to me
450
00:22:18,924 --> 00:22:20,289
I'd be glad to finance it, baby
451
00:22:20,526 --> 00:22:21,515
Who do you think you're kidding?
452
00:22:21,727 --> 00:22:22,989
You couldn't even pay for the headlights
453
00:22:23,228 --> 00:22:25,162
But by December 1941...
454
00:22:25,364 --> 00:22:28,822
sex on the screen was about
to enter a new era
455
00:22:30,469 --> 00:22:32,403
In the aftermath of PearI Harbor,
456
00:22:32,604 --> 00:22:34,196
US soldiers left their wives...
457
00:22:34,439 --> 00:22:39,103
and sweethearts to help crush
the axis forces of Germany and Japan
458
00:22:39,344 --> 00:22:40,868
As forlorn soldiers escaped...
459
00:22:41,113 --> 00:22:43,843
their misery and fantasy images
from Hollywood
460
00:22:44,082 --> 00:22:48,212
Studios offered up an increasingly
voluptuous bevy of starlets
461
00:22:48,554 --> 00:22:49,919
That's all the music I have
462
00:22:50,255 --> 00:22:53,247
I don't know what else I could possibly
do for you fellows?
463
00:23:01,066 --> 00:23:04,263
the result was a generation of
pinup superstars...
464
00:23:04,503 --> 00:23:08,530
whose widely circulated photos were
even more sexually provocative...
465
00:23:08,807 --> 00:23:10,240
than their latest films
466
00:23:10,609 --> 00:23:13,009
Pinup pictures made such an influence
on me that...
467
00:23:13,412 --> 00:23:16,404
I actually started hanging them...
on my bedroom wall
468
00:23:16,748 --> 00:23:19,581
And it was an early act of rebellion
in my home
469
00:23:20,185 --> 00:23:23,018
On movie screens actresses were
becoming objectified as...
470
00:23:23,288 --> 00:23:25,119
symbols of desire...
471
00:23:25,424 --> 00:23:28,882
in the form of curvy pinup Queens like
Betty Grable...
472
00:23:29,528 --> 00:23:30,688
Rita Hayworth
473
00:23:31,029 --> 00:23:32,621
And Gene Tierney
474
00:23:32,831 --> 00:23:33,661
Good morning
475
00:23:35,067 --> 00:23:36,091
Good morning
476
00:23:37,603 --> 00:23:40,094
One of the most notorious pinups
of the day...
477
00:23:40,305 --> 00:23:43,934
was the prot g of billionaire
film producer Howard Hughes
478
00:23:45,877 --> 00:23:49,278
In 1941, Hughes ignited a scandaI and...
479
00:23:49,481 --> 00:23:50,880
seized headlines
480
00:23:51,116 --> 00:23:54,176
by casting Jane Russell
in the western drama
481
00:23:54,419 --> 00:23:55,477
The Outlaw
482
00:23:55,721 --> 00:23:59,521
Censorship battles over the
The Outlaw waged for two long years...
483
00:23:59,758 --> 00:24:03,956
before the film finally reached theaters
in 1943
484
00:24:04,229 --> 00:24:06,789
Howard Hughes thumbed his nose
at the code
485
00:24:06,999 --> 00:24:11,197
Joe Breen requested that 3/ separate
breast shots of Jane Russell...
486
00:24:11,403 --> 00:24:12,301
be cut from the film
487
00:24:12,537 --> 00:24:15,165
He found it the most offensive thing
he'd ever seen
488
00:24:15,507 --> 00:24:17,441
Look at that
489
00:24:17,709 --> 00:24:19,904
Hughes released the film, a judge said:
490
00:24:20,145 --> 00:24:22,340
Jane Russell's breasts hang over...
491
00:24:22,547 --> 00:24:24,947
the landscape like a thunderstorm
492
00:24:28,186 --> 00:24:32,748
And Hughes hired a plane to advertise
the movie in San Francisco...
493
00:24:33,025 --> 00:24:35,892
that just drew two smoke rings...
with a dot in the middle of each...
494
00:24:36,161 --> 00:24:38,288
and everyone knew what those
referred to
495
00:24:47,339 --> 00:24:48,533
By the war's end...
496
00:24:48,740 --> 00:24:51,538
the sociaI roles of men and women
were exploding...
497
00:24:52,711 --> 00:24:55,236
both on and off the screen
498
00:24:55,681 --> 00:25:00,744
For about 4 years, women had been on
their own at home working or...
499
00:25:00,986 --> 00:25:04,945
left behind without their husbands or
fiancees
500
00:25:05,557 --> 00:25:08,583
Young women's sociaI liberation would
come as a shock...
501
00:25:08,827 --> 00:25:10,624
for many returning Gls...
502
00:25:10,829 --> 00:25:15,630
whose sexuaI perspectives were also
altered by years of extramaritaI affairs...
503
00:25:15,834 --> 00:25:17,267
in Europe and Asia
504
00:25:18,103 --> 00:25:18,933
During World War II...
505
00:25:19,137 --> 00:25:22,300
there were 600000 babies born
out of wedlock
506
00:25:22,674 --> 00:25:25,108
There was a very secret study that
men overseas...
507
00:25:25,377 --> 00:25:26,469
80% of the men overseas...
508
00:25:26,712 --> 00:25:28,179
had sex overseas
509
00:25:28,914 --> 00:25:30,848
So all the rules were off
510
00:25:33,385 --> 00:25:36,479
The was had done more than tear men
and women apart
511
00:25:36,688 --> 00:25:40,852
It had created a tense and confusing
dynamic between the sexes
512
00:25:41,093 --> 00:25:43,789
A chaos reflected in a new movie genre...
513
00:25:44,029 --> 00:25:45,121
film noir
514
00:25:45,497 --> 00:25:46,623
In film noir...
515
00:25:46,865 --> 00:25:50,665
women were men's equals both in
and out of the bedroom
516
00:25:51,303 --> 00:25:52,463
Frank, Frank listen to me
517
00:25:52,738 --> 00:25:53,966
I'm not what you think I am
518
00:25:54,206 --> 00:25:55,434
I've made a big mistake in my life
519
00:25:55,707 --> 00:25:57,868
And I've got to be this way just once
to fix it
520
00:25:58,143 --> 00:25:59,940
They hang you for a thing like that
521
00:26:00,178 --> 00:26:01,304
But not if you do it right
522
00:26:01,546 --> 00:26:02,274
And you're smart, Frank
523
00:26:02,514 --> 00:26:03,708
You'll think of a way
524
00:26:03,949 --> 00:26:05,473
Plenty of men have
525
00:26:06,451 --> 00:26:08,783
Film noir also helped open the door for...
526
00:26:09,020 --> 00:26:11,250
other tales of adult sexuality
527
00:26:11,490 --> 00:26:13,617
Billy Wilder's Sunset Blvd...
528
00:26:13,859 --> 00:26:16,089
told the tale of a struggling screenwriter...
529
00:26:16,328 --> 00:26:18,558
who trades sex for money from an all but
530
00:26:18,797 --> 00:26:20,059
forgotten movie star
531
00:26:20,332 --> 00:26:21,799
Has it ever occurred to you that...
532
00:26:22,067 --> 00:26:24,262
I may have a life of my own
533
00:26:24,536 --> 00:26:26,470
That there may be some girI that
I'm crazy about?
534
00:26:27,038 --> 00:26:30,405
Who? Some carhop or dress extra?
535
00:26:30,942 --> 00:26:33,308
What I'm trying to say is that
I'm all wrong for you
536
00:26:33,512 --> 00:26:34,672
You want a Valentino
537
00:26:34,913 --> 00:26:36,938
Somebody with Polo ponies, a bit shot
538
00:26:39,184 --> 00:26:41,846
What you're trying to say is that
you don't want me to love you
539
00:26:42,654 --> 00:26:45,179
Say it, say it
540
00:26:47,192 --> 00:26:47,920
Listen, baby
541
00:26:48,193 --> 00:26:49,285
When we first met you and me
542
00:26:49,528 --> 00:26:53,692
You thought I was common as dirt
543
00:26:53,932 --> 00:26:55,160
In A streetcar named Desire...
544
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,061
you had southern Belle
545
00:26:57,269 --> 00:26:58,827
A little bit beyond her prime...
546
00:26:59,037 --> 00:27:00,595
played by Vivien Leigh...
547
00:27:00,839 --> 00:27:03,603
and you had a sort of sexy lout
played by Marlon Brando
548
00:27:03,809 --> 00:27:07,108
So themes like nymphomania
and rape...
549
00:27:07,345 --> 00:27:10,314
were suddenly serious drama on screen
550
00:27:10,615 --> 00:27:13,175
Hey, Stella
551
00:27:15,620 --> 00:27:20,216
1950s pop culture was also sending
sexually charged messages...
552
00:27:20,458 --> 00:27:22,085
in the pages of pulp fiction...
553
00:27:22,294 --> 00:27:25,661
from authors like Mikey Spillane and
magazines like...
554
00:27:25,864 --> 00:27:27,525
the celebrity scandaI sheet:
555
00:27:27,799 --> 00:27:28,857
ConfidentiaI
556
00:27:29,367 --> 00:27:35,772
And by 1952, one star had emerged
as the pagan goddess of full-bodied...
557
00:27:36,041 --> 00:27:37,133
American eroticism
558
00:27:37,375 --> 00:27:38,205
Hi
559
00:27:38,510 --> 00:27:39,807
Marilyn Monroe
560
00:27:40,278 --> 00:27:44,305
She was the sexuaI icon of her
particular time
561
00:27:44,549 --> 00:27:45,607
And became...
562
00:27:45,884 --> 00:27:47,249
I think the sex-star of the century
563
00:27:49,287 --> 00:27:51,187
Get me some orange juice, George
564
00:27:51,690 --> 00:27:55,888
She was a symboI of sexuality
with no price
565
00:27:56,261 --> 00:27:57,990
With no adult judgment...
566
00:27:58,230 --> 00:28:00,061
with no adult relationship...
567
00:28:00,265 --> 00:28:00,731
really...
568
00:28:01,032 --> 00:28:02,090
She was a child-woman who...
569
00:28:02,367 --> 00:28:04,597
provided sex without judgment
570
00:28:04,736 --> 00:28:07,170
You smell like a dime store
571
00:28:07,739 --> 00:28:11,368
just anybody handy as long as
he's a man
572
00:28:11,743 --> 00:28:16,476
In 1952 Marilyn's career got an
unexpected boost...
573
00:28:16,681 --> 00:28:21,550
by revelations that Monroe had posed
nude for a calendar years earlier
574
00:28:23,655 --> 00:28:28,524
Those images were unveiled in the
nation's hottest, new men's magazine...
575
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:30,887
created by enterprising hedonist...
576
00:28:31,129 --> 00:28:32,460
Hugh M. Hefner
577
00:28:32,664 --> 00:28:33,130
Playboy...
578
00:28:33,365 --> 00:28:38,029
was one of the early shots
fired in the sexuaI revolution
579
00:28:38,270 --> 00:28:41,296
You know, we made the point that life is
more than simply a veiI of tears
580
00:28:41,539 --> 00:28:42,767
It should be a celebration
581
00:28:43,909 --> 00:28:48,903
The centerfold was a reflection of
sexuaI liberation for women...
582
00:28:49,147 --> 00:28:50,978
because what it said was...
583
00:28:51,650 --> 00:28:54,312
nice girls like sex, too
584
00:28:54,853 --> 00:28:59,119
And that in the 1950s was a truly
revolutionary concept
585
00:28:59,357 --> 00:29:01,416
I mean I wouldn't be Iying on the floor in
the middle of the night...
586
00:29:01,693 --> 00:29:03,490
in some man's apartment drinking
champagne...
587
00:29:03,728 --> 00:29:04,786
if he wasn't married
588
00:29:05,230 --> 00:29:09,860
Marilyn Monroe rose from the ashes of
scandaI to become the most desirable...
589
00:29:10,101 --> 00:29:12,194
and desired actress in Hollywood
590
00:29:13,371 --> 00:29:19,173
That image was reinforced in sexy hits
like Billy Wilder's 1955 comedy...
591
00:29:19,444 --> 00:29:20,809
The Sever Year Itch
592
00:29:21,212 --> 00:29:22,941
Do you feeI the breeze
from the subway?
593
00:29:23,915 --> 00:29:25,280
Isn't it delicious?
594
00:29:25,917 --> 00:29:28,715
The Marilyn phenomenon opened the
flood gates for...
595
00:29:28,954 --> 00:29:31,479
a bevy amply endowed screen sirens
596
00:29:32,324 --> 00:29:33,814
Here comes another one
597
00:29:34,459 --> 00:29:36,723
I'm all excited because you're loving me
598
00:29:37,395 --> 00:29:41,229
One of Marilyn's biggest would-be
rivals was Jayne Mansfield...
599
00:29:42,133 --> 00:29:43,691
who burst onto screens...
600
00:29:44,903 --> 00:29:48,304
in hits like Will Success
SpoiI Rock Hunter
601
00:29:53,345 --> 00:29:55,506
No, no, no, darling
602
00:29:55,747 --> 00:29:58,045
When you get to my shoulder
you have to kiss me on the lips
603
00:29:59,184 --> 00:30:03,518
Arguably Mansfield's finest 2 hours
on film was the raucous...
604
00:30:03,788 --> 00:30:06,086
rock and roll comedy
The GirI can't help it...
605
00:30:06,324 --> 00:30:10,920
which pushed suggestiveness to the
limit with outrageous sexuaI site gags
606
00:30:11,396 --> 00:30:13,023
Rome wasn't built in a day
607
00:30:13,298 --> 00:30:17,029
She aren't Rome, what we're talking
about is all ready built
608
00:30:18,269 --> 00:30:22,501
The aggressive sexuality of Jayne and
Marilyn showed the further erosion...
609
00:30:22,774 --> 00:30:24,105
of the power of censorship
610
00:30:24,342 --> 00:30:26,970
Honest, it was just like electricity
611
00:30:27,379 --> 00:30:30,507
And as the era of Dwight D. Eisenhower
prepared to surrender to...
612
00:30:30,782 --> 00:30:33,842
a new age of sexuaI abandon...
613
00:30:34,085 --> 00:30:36,576
Hollywood was becoming bolder
614
00:30:40,325 --> 00:30:41,849
Ok, it's on Mr. Murdoch
615
00:30:42,127 --> 00:30:43,651
Now you and Miller watch
616
00:30:43,928 --> 00:30:45,657
Watch it good
617
00:30:45,930 --> 00:30:47,955
We have to watch the television
618
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:50,661
By the Mid 1950s...
619
00:30:50,869 --> 00:30:54,771
America was proudly reveling in
images of prosperity
620
00:30:55,073 --> 00:30:59,169
Soldiers turned civilians had pushed
their wives out of the work place
621
00:30:59,411 --> 00:31:00,878
And back to the kitchen
622
00:31:01,713 --> 00:31:06,844
illicit sexuaI desires inflamed by the war
years had seemingly been paved over...
623
00:31:07,118 --> 00:31:08,949
by the asphalt of suburbia
624
00:31:09,454 --> 00:31:13,618
But even at home as families huddled
around their new television sets
625
00:31:13,825 --> 00:31:16,589
Americans couldn't escape
images of sex
626
00:31:16,928 --> 00:31:19,123
Every week on ABC TV
627
00:31:19,531 --> 00:31:22,523
I'm a jalopy jockey with a flair
for hot rods and cooI blonds
628
00:31:23,435 --> 00:31:26,233
Surfside 6, the year's newest,
629
00:31:26,504 --> 00:31:28,233
most glamorous address in
Miami beach
630
00:31:30,475 --> 00:31:33,740
But although TV showed its share of
nubile women...
631
00:31:33,978 --> 00:31:35,377
and bare-chested men...
632
00:31:35,613 --> 00:31:37,137
it was hampered like Hollywood by...
633
00:31:37,382 --> 00:31:39,077
a strict production code
634
00:31:39,317 --> 00:31:42,047
I really do think that the originaI
notion that...
635
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:44,083
your parents only had enough sex...
636
00:31:44,389 --> 00:31:45,378
to produce you...
637
00:31:45,657 --> 00:31:49,252
came from watching TV in the 50s
with Leave it to Beaver and so on
638
00:31:49,661 --> 00:31:50,593
What's he doing here?
639
00:31:50,829 --> 00:31:51,420
Daddy, he just...
640
00:31:51,663 --> 00:31:53,858
I warned you Mary Ellen about boys
showing up around here
641
00:31:54,332 --> 00:31:56,823
Television so traumatized Hollywood...
642
00:31:57,035 --> 00:32:00,698
that any idea for how they could
save their industry
643
00:32:00,905 --> 00:32:03,738
They were going to take advantage of
and it did occur to them quickly
644
00:32:03,975 --> 00:32:06,068
That sex was going to be a good way
to sell movies
645
00:32:06,578 --> 00:32:09,103
Are you getting out of that bed
or am I coming in after you?
646
00:32:09,380 --> 00:32:10,847
You wouldn't dare
647
00:32:12,417 --> 00:32:15,580
No screen couple danced the moves of
erotic courtship...
648
00:32:15,854 --> 00:32:19,051
more cleverly than Doris Day and
Rock Hudson
649
00:32:19,591 --> 00:32:21,616
Look, I don't know what's bothering you...
650
00:32:21,893 --> 00:32:24,259
but don't take your bedroom problems
out on me
651
00:32:24,462 --> 00:32:25,827
I have no bedroom problems
652
00:32:26,064 --> 00:32:27,725
There's nothing in my bedroom that
bothers me
653
00:32:28,766 --> 00:32:29,994
That's too bad
654
00:32:30,368 --> 00:32:32,495
In a series of romantic comedies...
655
00:32:32,737 --> 00:32:37,071
Doris and Rock relied on Sly Innuendo
over explicitness
656
00:32:37,308 --> 00:32:40,141
The result were among the biggest hits
of the era
657
00:32:40,478 --> 00:32:44,608
The Doris Day and Rock Hudson
comedies do have a sexuaI edge to them
658
00:32:44,916 --> 00:32:47,043
If he only knew what I was thinking
659
00:32:47,252 --> 00:32:51,746
And illustrate the old rule, what is sexy...
660
00:32:51,990 --> 00:32:53,651
is tension between people
661
00:32:54,225 --> 00:32:57,820
Excuse me, I better go to
the power moon...
662
00:32:58,096 --> 00:32:59,290
I mean room...
663
00:33:00,331 --> 00:33:01,764
Fix my lipstick
664
00:33:02,267 --> 00:33:04,030
AII I think of when I think of Rock Hudson...
665
00:33:04,302 --> 00:33:05,792
and Doris Day are those split screens
666
00:33:06,204 --> 00:33:08,138
No, I always keep tomorrow night open
667
00:33:08,339 --> 00:33:10,705
I mean I hadn't planned a thing
668
00:33:11,509 --> 00:33:13,568
I'd love to have dinner with you
669
00:33:13,845 --> 00:33:16,405
There's always talking on the phone or
they're in the bathtub
670
00:33:16,648 --> 00:33:20,106
Sure turned out to be a friendly town
671
00:33:21,286 --> 00:33:24,312
You'll find that most people are willing to
meet you halfway...
672
00:33:25,590 --> 00:33:26,579
if you let them
673
00:33:26,824 --> 00:33:27,984
They're not together
674
00:33:28,226 --> 00:33:30,319
So there's the implication of sex
675
00:33:34,499 --> 00:33:37,229
The Doris and Rock comedies
also underscored...
676
00:33:37,468 --> 00:33:39,629
a key sociaI theme of 1950s
677
00:33:40,004 --> 00:33:42,199
Nice girls didn't have sex...
678
00:33:42,507 --> 00:33:44,338
at least not before marriage
679
00:33:44,943 --> 00:33:46,433
But men were understood
680
00:33:46,644 --> 00:33:49,807
to be sexuaI satyrs forever on the prowI
681
00:33:50,048 --> 00:33:51,538
You treat a dame like a lady
682
00:33:51,783 --> 00:33:53,444
And treat a lady like a dame
683
00:33:54,686 --> 00:33:56,881
It was a very hypocriticaI and hurtfuI set
of values that...
684
00:33:57,155 --> 00:34:00,124
assumed somehow or rather that boys...
685
00:34:00,425 --> 00:34:05,226
will be boys but women had better be
something beyond reproach and...
686
00:34:05,430 --> 00:34:06,795
not the daughter's of eve...
687
00:34:07,031 --> 00:34:08,020
not human beings
688
00:34:08,266 --> 00:34:10,530
You claim he's over sexed and
he claims you're
689
00:34:11,035 --> 00:34:12,696
Well, I'm not under sexed
690
00:34:13,238 --> 00:34:16,139
As grownups savored the chemistry of
Doris and Rock...
691
00:34:16,374 --> 00:34:19,502
teenagers had their own version of Day
and Hudson
692
00:34:19,844 --> 00:34:22,608
Annette Funicello and Frankie Avalon
693
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:25,405
Two youngsters in love you'II love
694
00:34:25,817 --> 00:34:28,445
You know the only thing I've studies this
semester is you
695
00:34:29,087 --> 00:34:31,385
Well, I hope you don't flunk
696
00:34:33,258 --> 00:34:38,025
The beach party series offered another
movie universe of sexy female virgins...
697
00:34:38,229 --> 00:34:41,027
and lusty males on the hunt for pleasure
698
00:34:41,466 --> 00:34:43,297
They like to be formally introduced
699
00:34:44,535 --> 00:34:47,527
But not every woman offer on the screen
700
00:34:47,772 --> 00:34:49,740
was heeding society's message...
701
00:34:49,974 --> 00:34:51,134
to just say, No
702
00:34:51,376 --> 00:34:53,003
Would you ever marry a girI...
703
00:34:55,046 --> 00:34:56,445
who wasn't pure?
704
00:34:56,681 --> 00:34:59,775
Believe me baby, I have nothing but
respect for you
705
00:35:00,018 --> 00:35:01,542
In the later 1950s...
706
00:35:01,753 --> 00:35:06,156
a few darling films gave explosive
examples of what happened...
707
00:35:06,391 --> 00:35:09,485
when sexuaI urges were given free reign
708
00:35:09,627 --> 00:35:11,822
Aren't you afraid people will think
you're a little fast?
709
00:35:12,263 --> 00:35:13,287
Allison
710
00:35:13,564 --> 00:35:17,125
According to my philosophy what other
people think will not pay the rent
711
00:35:17,402 --> 00:35:18,994
So if you're accused of being fast...
712
00:35:19,270 --> 00:35:21,830
you might as well run that way you get to
all the good things first
713
00:35:22,307 --> 00:35:25,174
The 195/ drama Peyton Place...
714
00:35:25,410 --> 00:35:28,345
based on the decade's most
shocking bestseller
715
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:33,583
Featured severaI female characters
hungry to satisfy their erotic needs
716
00:35:34,085 --> 00:35:35,074
Want to make love to me?
717
00:35:35,286 --> 00:35:36,048
Yes, yes
718
00:35:36,287 --> 00:35:40,986
In a town whose quiet fa ade shades
a see thing caldron of desire
719
00:35:41,225 --> 00:35:42,886
You're just like your father about sex
720
00:35:43,127 --> 00:35:44,321
In that way you're just like him
721
00:35:44,562 --> 00:35:45,961
Don't you say things about my father
722
00:35:46,164 --> 00:35:47,062
He was a wonderfuI man
723
00:35:47,298 --> 00:35:47,923
WonderfuI
724
00:35:48,166 --> 00:35:49,861
And fine and good to you and that's
what you told me
725
00:35:50,068 --> 00:35:51,399
So don't blame him for anything
726
00:35:51,469 --> 00:35:52,663
WonderfuI and fine and good...
727
00:35:52,970 --> 00:35:53,800
that's what I told you?
728
00:35:54,072 --> 00:35:55,004
Well, I lied
729
00:35:55,273 --> 00:35:57,138
I lied about him because
I was ashamedof him
730
00:35:57,375 --> 00:35:58,171
And of myself
731
00:35:58,409 --> 00:35:59,376
Then why did you marry him?
732
00:35:59,610 --> 00:36:00,269
I didn't
733
00:36:00,611 --> 00:36:02,943
And he didn't marry me because
he already had a wife
734
00:36:03,314 --> 00:36:04,906
He had a wife
735
00:36:06,684 --> 00:36:11,348
There were two abortions, one murder...
736
00:36:11,589 --> 00:36:16,617
successive rapes of a 14-year-old
schooI girI by her stepfather
737
00:36:17,261 --> 00:36:18,888
About time I started
teaching you something
738
00:36:19,130 --> 00:36:20,757
Lucas, Lucas, let me go...
739
00:36:20,965 --> 00:36:22,660
Lucas, get...
740
00:36:23,468 --> 00:36:25,026
I never had nothing I ever wanted
741
00:36:25,269 --> 00:36:26,736
Never had a beautifuI woman
742
00:36:32,009 --> 00:36:35,467
Peyton Place was really a shocker and
a blockbuster
743
00:36:35,713 --> 00:36:37,340
Well, if any man would seriously ask me
744
00:36:37,582 --> 00:36:39,311
I'd run away and become his mistress
745
00:36:40,785 --> 00:36:43,948
Even Pedophilia became
cinematic fair game...
746
00:36:44,188 --> 00:36:48,852
when director Stanley Kubrick pulled off
the unthinkable in 1962...
747
00:36:49,093 --> 00:36:53,496
by filming Vladimir Nabokov's
controversiaI noveI Lolita
748
00:36:53,831 --> 00:36:55,526
It was basically jailbait
749
00:36:55,800 --> 00:37:00,703
Even the presence of a subplot about a
15-year-old having sex with a grown man
750
00:37:01,038 --> 00:37:02,335
Would have been out of the question
751
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:05,200
Here it was the subject of
the entire movie
752
00:37:05,410 --> 00:37:07,378
So it was quite revolutionary
753
00:37:07,845 --> 00:37:09,938
How did they ever make a movie
of Lolita?
754
00:37:10,248 --> 00:37:11,237
How did they ever?
755
00:37:17,155 --> 00:37:21,990
But if American directors were getting
bolder in depicting sexuaI desires...
756
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:24,624
Europeans weren't pushing the envelope
757
00:37:24,862 --> 00:37:26,693
they were setting it on fire
758
00:37:27,899 --> 00:37:31,096
Here is the drama of the life and loves
of a young girI of today
759
00:37:33,037 --> 00:37:36,564
Tormented by the desires that sweep
her from a lover she yearned for
760
00:37:37,175 --> 00:37:41,305
That blazing eroticism was epitomized
in France's hottest export...
761
00:37:41,579 --> 00:37:43,171
since the statue of liberty...
762
00:37:43,414 --> 00:37:44,813
Brightte Bardot
763
00:37:46,684 --> 00:37:47,878
Stop laughing
764
00:37:50,988 --> 00:37:52,751
In Europe there is much more respect...
765
00:37:52,957 --> 00:37:56,017
for the mystique and allure of
sexuaI woman
766
00:37:56,294 --> 00:37:59,388
And in point effect all of the great
European art directors have...
767
00:37:59,797 --> 00:38:01,287
as kind of muse figures
768
00:38:01,532 --> 00:38:03,397
very, very glamorous women whether
you're talking about...
769
00:38:03,668 --> 00:38:06,466
Jeanne Moreau or Catherine Deneuve
770
00:38:07,305 --> 00:38:08,863
If you touch me I'll kill you
771
00:38:09,106 --> 00:38:15,170
Greater glory bringing their
raw sexuality to Hollywood
772
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:19,582
Among them were two Italians who
exuded power and controI...
773
00:38:20,084 --> 00:38:22,917
Gina Lollobrigida and Sophia Loren
774
00:38:29,794 --> 00:38:31,125
She was gorgeous
775
00:38:31,429 --> 00:38:32,396
She was glorious
776
00:38:32,697 --> 00:38:33,823
She was magnificent
777
00:38:34,065 --> 00:38:36,431
She was all the adjectives
you could give her
778
00:38:41,506 --> 00:38:45,135
She was so full of sort of earthy qualities
779
00:38:48,646 --> 00:38:53,015
Juice of human, feminine, powerfuI...
780
00:38:53,284 --> 00:38:54,979
seductive woman
781
00:38:55,253 --> 00:38:57,414
Everyone became aware of her
782
00:38:57,989 --> 00:39:00,219
But even Loren and Lollobrigida...
783
00:39:00,424 --> 00:39:02,085
were overshadowed in Hollywood...
784
00:39:02,326 --> 00:39:06,956
by a former MGM starlet once known for
squeaky-clean film roles
785
00:39:07,265 --> 00:39:09,631
I don't mind making a fooI of myself
over you
786
00:39:11,769 --> 00:39:14,932
Elizabeth Taylor's absolutely unique and
profound beauty...
787
00:39:15,206 --> 00:39:18,835
which was at peak during
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and...
788
00:39:19,110 --> 00:39:20,338
Suddenly, Last Summer
789
00:39:20,711 --> 00:39:24,579
It was really the key
to hyping of sexuality
790
00:39:24,849 --> 00:39:27,443
which was all ready plenty overheated
by Tennessee Williams...
791
00:39:27,752 --> 00:39:29,344
in the originaI materiaI
792
00:39:29,587 --> 00:39:31,953
But it was made contemporary and...
793
00:39:32,189 --> 00:39:35,090
exceedingly palatable simply
by her beauty
794
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:41,359
In 1960, Taylor took on her
most explicitly erotic role so far
795
00:39:41,699 --> 00:39:45,191
Playing a high-priced call girI,
Butterfield 8
796
00:39:45,636 --> 00:39:49,128
The performance netted Taylor
her first academy award
797
00:39:49,340 --> 00:39:50,739
Now look, you have a price
798
00:39:51,409 --> 00:39:53,707
We all have and I can go pretty high
799
00:39:55,746 --> 00:39:58,681
Command performances leave me
quite cold
800
00:39:59,050 --> 00:40:01,780
I've had more fun in the backseat of
a 39 Ford...
801
00:40:02,019 --> 00:40:04,453
than I could ever have in the vault of
the Chase NationaI Bank
802
00:40:06,424 --> 00:40:08,085
For me, the great image of her standing
803
00:40:08,326 --> 00:40:09,884
in a white slip from Butterfield 8
804
00:40:10,127 --> 00:40:12,322
communicates much more than lets say...
805
00:40:12,597 --> 00:40:14,656
MeryI Streep can communicate
by language
806
00:40:14,932 --> 00:40:17,230
A good night sleep will be the best
thing for you
807
00:40:17,935 --> 00:40:21,268
But Butterfield 8 was just a warm-up for
Elizabeth Taylor...
808
00:40:21,505 --> 00:40:24,497
who was about to shake up America
with a sandaI...
809
00:40:24,809 --> 00:40:27,403
that entered the realm of
Hollywood legend
810
00:40:30,181 --> 00:40:35,312
By 1962, the Hollywood Hays code was
on its last shaky legs
811
00:40:35,553 --> 00:40:39,250
Trembling before the might of Europe's
sexually charged cinema
812
00:40:40,091 --> 00:40:42,025
J.F.K was in the White House
813
00:40:42,460 --> 00:40:44,860
The rat pack was swinging on
movie screens...
814
00:40:45,096 --> 00:40:46,757
and on the stages of Vegas
815
00:40:46,998 --> 00:40:50,559
And as American males traded Playboy's
latest party jokes...
816
00:40:50,801 --> 00:40:52,393
two Hollywood stars...
817
00:40:52,470 --> 00:40:54,768
Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton...
818
00:40:55,039 --> 00:40:58,440
were helping to bring down the censor's
wall of Jericho
819
00:40:58,709 --> 00:41:00,006
You will kneeI
820
00:41:00,344 --> 00:41:01,504
I will what?
821
00:41:02,046 --> 00:41:03,741
On your knees
822
00:41:04,749 --> 00:41:07,479
Cleopatra had started as a biblicaI
epic...
823
00:41:07,718 --> 00:41:09,413
in the tradition of Ben-hur
824
00:41:09,620 --> 00:41:14,614
But production was overshadowed by
one of the biggest sex scandals of 1960s
825
00:41:16,060 --> 00:41:19,962
Taylor and Burton's infamous,
extramaritaI romance on the set
826
00:41:20,331 --> 00:41:23,664
There was just a sensation worldwide
over this
827
00:41:27,638 --> 00:41:29,333
They were on every magazine cover...
828
00:41:29,573 --> 00:41:30,699
every newspaper
829
00:41:37,314 --> 00:41:39,612
Congressmen in the United States
got into it
830
00:41:39,850 --> 00:41:41,511
The Pope got into it
831
00:41:41,619 --> 00:41:43,917
The Vatican got into the act saying that
she was a bad influence...
832
00:41:44,221 --> 00:41:45,313
on the world in generaI and that...
833
00:41:45,623 --> 00:41:47,523
her children should be take away
from her
834
00:41:47,925 --> 00:41:51,383
But a scandaI that would have
destroyed most actresses' careers
835
00:41:51,629 --> 00:41:54,393
Only fueled the flames of
Taylor's fandom
836
00:41:54,899 --> 00:41:56,491
The more the world gossiped...
837
00:41:56,767 --> 00:41:59,292
the more successfuI
Cleopatra became
838
00:41:59,537 --> 00:42:02,301
Making it the 1st Hollywood blockbuster
to benefit from...
839
00:42:02,540 --> 00:42:05,134
its stars' off-screen indiscretions
840
00:42:10,981 --> 00:42:13,381
Not to be outdone by Elizabeth Taylor...
841
00:42:13,584 --> 00:42:17,748
Marilyn Monroe sought to push
the Queen of the Nile off her throne...
842
00:42:17,988 --> 00:42:20,650
by baring all before the Hollywood
cameras
843
00:42:24,962 --> 00:42:27,897
Come on, the water's so refreshing
844
00:42:29,033 --> 00:42:31,092
You know, after you finish doing...
845
00:42:34,405 --> 00:42:36,566
We had a bodysuit for her...
846
00:42:36,974 --> 00:42:39,033
where you look nude in the water
847
00:42:39,410 --> 00:42:41,878
And after two, three takes she just
tore it off
848
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:45,506
And did it, did it without anything else on
849
00:42:50,421 --> 00:42:52,719
Norma get back, get back
850
00:42:55,392 --> 00:42:59,829
The notion of a nude Marilyn on the
big screen had tantalized moviegoers...
851
00:43:00,064 --> 00:43:04,125
ever since the release of her infamous
calendar pose a decade earlier
852
00:43:05,136 --> 00:43:10,039
But ironically, that image would never
reach screens during the 1960s
853
00:43:10,241 --> 00:43:10,673
Cut
854
00:43:10,941 --> 00:43:13,239
Filming on the comedy,
Something Got to Give...
855
00:43:13,477 --> 00:43:18,039
was never finished before Marilyn's
mysterious death from a drug overdose
856
00:43:18,849 --> 00:43:20,874
Nudity for Marilyn Monroe...
857
00:43:21,152 --> 00:43:23,586
always represented
a certain form of freedom
858
00:43:24,388 --> 00:43:27,323
One should credit her with
a whole change in attitude...
859
00:43:27,525 --> 00:43:29,390
in the pop culture related to nudity
860
00:43:32,329 --> 00:43:34,490
The year of Marilyn's passing also...
861
00:43:34,732 --> 00:43:37,394
saw the arrivaI of a new sexuaI icon
862
00:43:37,668 --> 00:43:39,397
I have to leave immediately
863
00:43:39,670 --> 00:43:41,934
Just as things were getting interesting
864
00:43:47,411 --> 00:43:50,903
1962 was the year of Dr. No
865
00:43:51,115 --> 00:43:53,106
The first big screen bow for author...
866
00:43:53,384 --> 00:43:56,581
Ian Felming's high-living
secret agent Bond
867
00:43:56,821 --> 00:43:58,015
James Bond
868
00:43:59,423 --> 00:44:03,757
For someone to become a sex symboI
of true internationaI impact...
869
00:44:03,994 --> 00:44:05,757
they have to appeaI to both sexes
870
00:44:05,996 --> 00:44:08,794
Women like Sean Connery,
man like Sean Connery
871
00:44:11,101 --> 00:44:14,070
Sean Connery as James Bond in...
872
00:44:14,338 --> 00:44:15,862
Thunder Ball
873
00:44:18,509 --> 00:44:20,500
As played by Sean Connery...
874
00:44:20,744 --> 00:44:24,874
James Bond was the epitome of
sexuaI virility and power
875
00:44:26,016 --> 00:44:29,383
And the Bond series with its seductive
bevy of beauties...
876
00:44:29,587 --> 00:44:34,320
became one of the 1960s most alluring,
worldwide phenomena
877
00:44:34,758 --> 00:44:35,622
If you were a Bond girI...
878
00:44:35,893 --> 00:44:36,757
you were sort of like hot...
879
00:44:37,161 --> 00:44:39,026
the hot new, you know...
880
00:44:39,630 --> 00:44:40,927
tamale around
881
00:44:49,573 --> 00:44:53,100
One might call Marnie a sexy mystery
882
00:44:53,310 --> 00:44:56,074
That is, if one used such words
883
00:44:57,214 --> 00:45:01,742
The films of Alfred Hitchcock had always
been packed with sexuaI innuendo
884
00:45:01,952 --> 00:45:04,147
And some would say perversity
885
00:45:05,623 --> 00:45:09,286
In 1964, Hitchcock tapped
Sean Connery...
886
00:45:09,493 --> 00:45:13,657
to help full of his most controversiaI
movie yet, Marnie
887
00:45:13,998 --> 00:45:18,025
Marnie is about a woman who steals
compulsively...
888
00:45:18,269 --> 00:45:21,363
in response to her sexuaI frigidity
889
00:45:21,605 --> 00:45:24,472
Getting power over men
by stealing from them
890
00:45:25,342 --> 00:45:27,333
But I do want to go to bed, Marnie
891
00:45:28,178 --> 00:45:29,668
I very much want to go to bed
892
00:45:30,848 --> 00:45:31,712
No
893
00:45:35,152 --> 00:45:38,178
This woman is ragingly frigid
894
00:45:38,489 --> 00:45:41,219
And frigid in the presence of
Sean Connery
895
00:45:41,425 --> 00:45:44,758
who was never ever looked as good
in film as he does in this film
896
00:45:47,798 --> 00:45:49,265
So it made the movie, actually...
897
00:45:49,533 --> 00:45:50,830
work tremendously well
898
00:45:51,035 --> 00:45:54,004
You know when he gets a good head of
steam and basically rapes her...
899
00:45:54,204 --> 00:45:55,262
the audience is into it
900
00:45:55,506 --> 00:45:57,633
They can't quite imagine that
would be unpleasant
901
00:46:07,618 --> 00:46:09,609
During the mid 1960s...
902
00:46:09,820 --> 00:46:13,586
the recently married duo of
Elizabeth Taylor and RichardBurton...
903
00:46:13,824 --> 00:46:17,555
were also teaming for a series of
sexually charged films
904
00:46:18,495 --> 00:46:22,158
It culminated in the most acclaimed
movie of their career
905
00:46:22,833 --> 00:46:25,893
Who's afraid of Virgina Woolf?
906
00:46:26,136 --> 00:46:28,798
Virgina Woolf, Virgina Woolf
907
00:46:29,039 --> 00:46:32,998
Who's afraid of Virgina...
908
00:46:33,344 --> 00:46:37,474
Adapted from Edward Albee's searing
play of maritaI warfare...
909
00:46:37,715 --> 00:46:39,273
Who's afraid of Virgina Woolf?...
910
00:46:39,516 --> 00:46:42,679
was so raw in language
and subject matter
911
00:46:42,987 --> 00:46:47,390
Its release effectively shattered the rule
of the Hollywood production code
912
00:46:47,858 --> 00:46:48,984
Don't encourage her
913
00:46:49,293 --> 00:46:50,225
Encourage me
914
00:46:50,394 --> 00:46:50,917
Go on
915
00:46:51,161 --> 00:46:52,594
I warned you, don't encourage her
916
00:46:52,896 --> 00:46:53,920
He warned you
917
00:46:54,865 --> 00:46:56,093
Don't encourage me
918
00:46:56,300 --> 00:46:58,268
I heard him, tell me more
919
00:46:59,269 --> 00:47:00,896
Who's afraid of Virgina Woolf?...
920
00:47:01,138 --> 00:47:02,662
didn't bare any skin
921
00:47:02,940 --> 00:47:06,103
But it did reveaI its characters'
sexuaI souI
922
00:47:06,343 --> 00:47:09,437
And the America movie making would
never be the same
923
00:47:09,646 --> 00:47:10,840
Hump the hostess
924
00:47:11,081 --> 00:47:12,241
Just shut up, will you?
925
00:47:12,883 --> 00:47:14,817
After Who's afraid of Virgina Woolf?...
926
00:47:15,052 --> 00:47:16,986
the dam started to crack
927
00:47:17,187 --> 00:47:19,155
And then to burst wide open
928
00:47:19,423 --> 00:47:21,516
And suddenly you had for the first time...
929
00:47:21,759 --> 00:47:24,159
the ability to use four-letter words...
930
00:47:24,428 --> 00:47:27,056
to be a little more graphic
in the depiction of sex
931
00:47:27,264 --> 00:47:31,291
All those taboos were washed aside
for better or worse
932
00:47:32,202 --> 00:47:35,933
Dealing the finaI blow in a three decade
battle over censorship...
933
00:47:36,173 --> 00:47:40,041
Virginia Woolf would bring
Hollywood's prudish production code...
934
00:47:40,310 --> 00:47:41,641
to its knees
935
00:47:44,848 --> 00:47:45,940
I'm Chuck Heston
936
00:47:46,183 --> 00:47:48,208
And I'd like to talk to you for a minute
about something
937
00:47:48,452 --> 00:47:50,511
I think you'll feeI is worth talking about
938
00:47:50,721 --> 00:47:53,189
Especially if you're the parents of
young children
939
00:47:54,058 --> 00:47:58,085
The theater owners of America along
with the producers and distributors...
940
00:47:58,295 --> 00:48:00,126
of films in this country have worked out...
941
00:48:00,697 --> 00:48:03,393
an advisory system of movie ratings
942
00:48:04,435 --> 00:48:07,768
By 196/, a new sexuaI morality was...
943
00:48:08,005 --> 00:48:10,530
sweeping both America and Hollywood
944
00:48:11,041 --> 00:48:13,407
Censorship was being swept aside...
945
00:48:13,644 --> 00:48:16,545
in an era of rebellion against
the Vietnam war...
946
00:48:16,814 --> 00:48:18,839
and authority of any kind
947
00:48:19,116 --> 00:48:23,246
The 60s was free love and all this wild
stuff and there was this sort of equality
948
00:48:23,454 --> 00:48:24,421
And if, you know...
949
00:48:24,688 --> 00:48:26,986
I want to sleep with 10 people I can
950
00:48:27,291 --> 00:48:30,385
Moviegoers wanted what was raw
and reaI...
951
00:48:30,561 --> 00:48:33,826
and Hollywood could finally dramatize
those desires...
952
00:48:34,031 --> 00:48:35,999
thanks to a new movie rating system
953
00:48:38,502 --> 00:48:41,960
The PG-rating in a picture is a speciaI
alert for parents
954
00:48:42,439 --> 00:48:44,737
That means that the film contains
some materiaI...
955
00:48:44,975 --> 00:48:48,706
which you as a parent may possibly find
unsuitable for your children
956
00:48:48,946 --> 00:48:50,106
Hump the hostess
957
00:48:50,314 --> 00:48:51,406
Just shut up, will you?
958
00:48:51,782 --> 00:48:55,548
Now an R-rated picture definitely
contains adult materiaI
959
00:48:59,923 --> 00:49:03,586
That's why children 16 years old or
younger are barred
960
00:49:04,094 --> 00:49:07,325
Again, you have to decide whether you
want your children...
961
00:49:07,564 --> 00:49:09,464
to see such a film
under those conditions
962
00:49:09,867 --> 00:49:15,430
The X-rating of course is reserved
for films that are totally adult in content
963
00:49:15,672 --> 00:49:16,366
Oh, my God
964
00:49:17,274 --> 00:49:18,707
Well, that's the rating system
965
00:49:19,343 --> 00:49:22,437
It's designed to help you as parents
to reach informed...
966
00:49:22,713 --> 00:49:25,580
and responsible decisions about
your children's movie going
967
00:49:28,485 --> 00:49:30,043
Under the old Hays code...
968
00:49:30,254 --> 00:49:33,485
adultery was a deadly sin that never
went unpunished
969
00:49:33,891 --> 00:49:37,622
But in the 196/ comedy,
A Guide for the Married Man...
970
00:49:37,861 --> 00:49:40,887
many of Hollywood's most famous faces
indulged in...
971
00:49:41,131 --> 00:49:44,362
the once forbidden act with
gleefuI abandon
972
00:49:47,137 --> 00:49:48,399
No matter what she knows or thinks...
973
00:49:48,672 --> 00:49:49,331
she knows deny it
974
00:49:49,606 --> 00:49:50,265
But what if she really knew?
975
00:49:50,541 --> 00:49:51,007
You deny it
976
00:49:51,308 --> 00:49:51,637
But what if she...
977
00:49:51,942 --> 00:49:52,203
Deny
978
00:49:52,476 --> 00:49:52,771
But what if she...
979
00:49:53,010 --> 00:49:54,534
Deny, deny...
980
00:49:57,381 --> 00:50:00,839
Oh, Charlie
981
00:50:02,352 --> 00:50:03,546
How could you?
982
00:50:03,787 --> 00:50:04,685
What?
983
00:50:06,156 --> 00:50:07,180
That
984
00:50:07,424 --> 00:50:08,413
When?
985
00:50:08,659 --> 00:50:10,820
When I came in you and she were...
986
00:50:11,061 --> 00:50:12,050
Who?
987
00:50:12,329 --> 00:50:14,160
You know very well who
988
00:50:14,431 --> 00:50:15,989
That, that woman there
989
00:50:16,200 --> 00:50:17,132
Where?
990
00:50:17,334 --> 00:50:18,426
Charlie!
991
00:50:18,735 --> 00:50:19,759
What?
992
00:50:20,003 --> 00:50:21,766
You and that woman
993
00:50:22,306 --> 00:50:23,637
What woman?
994
00:50:26,210 --> 00:50:27,700
The one that just left
995
00:50:28,445 --> 00:50:29,469
When?
996
00:50:33,850 --> 00:50:37,911
That same year the 1960s
most scandalous noveI...
997
00:50:38,121 --> 00:50:40,316
Jacqueline Susann's,
Valley of the Dolls...
998
00:50:40,524 --> 00:50:42,048
was bought to the screen
999
00:50:42,292 --> 00:50:44,351
AII I know how to do is take off my clothes
1000
00:50:45,062 --> 00:50:47,462
The story of three ambitious, young
women...
1001
00:50:47,664 --> 00:50:49,359
and their sexuaI dalliances
1002
00:50:49,600 --> 00:50:53,161
was filmed with every salacious
detaiI intact
1003
00:51:02,412 --> 00:51:05,973
Gabrielle, the wine almost fell
in my shoes
1004
00:51:06,450 --> 00:51:07,678
Art films...
1005
00:51:07,985 --> 00:51:08,883
nudies...
1006
00:51:09,119 --> 00:51:10,017
that's all they are...
1007
00:51:10,387 --> 00:51:11,513
Nudies
1008
00:51:11,888 --> 00:51:16,825
It was shocking, it was racy, it was fun
1009
00:51:19,963 --> 00:51:21,396
Having fun kiddies?
1010
00:51:22,733 --> 00:51:23,222
Don't mind me
1011
00:51:23,500 --> 00:51:24,467
Go right ahead
1012
00:51:25,435 --> 00:51:26,800
I'll watch
1013
00:51:28,639 --> 00:51:30,573
You'd better run you little tramp
1014
00:51:30,874 --> 00:51:32,569
All right Faggot...
1015
00:51:32,943 --> 00:51:34,035
start explaining
1016
00:51:34,878 --> 00:51:36,345
You need glasses needy
1017
00:51:36,913 --> 00:51:38,380
She's hardly built like a boy
1018
00:51:38,715 --> 00:51:39,909
You're crazy
1019
00:51:40,517 --> 00:51:42,109
I was sometimes embarrassed
1020
00:51:44,087 --> 00:51:45,054
You bastard
1021
00:51:46,757 --> 00:51:49,624
For my taste, it was far too much
1022
00:51:49,826 --> 00:51:52,954
I was far to much larger than life
1023
00:51:53,864 --> 00:51:56,025
Boobies, boobies, boobies...
1024
00:51:56,466 --> 00:51:58,297
Nothing but boobies
1025
00:51:59,202 --> 00:52:00,362
Who needs them?
1026
00:52:01,505 --> 00:52:03,132
I did great without them
1027
00:52:07,878 --> 00:52:09,812
Mrs. Robinson, you're trying to seduce me
1028
00:52:12,049 --> 00:52:12,708
Aren't you?
1029
00:52:13,050 --> 00:52:14,984
Sex was also front and center in...
1030
00:52:15,252 --> 00:52:16,048
The Graduate
1031
00:52:16,286 --> 00:52:20,382
A sophisticated comedy that bought
instant stardom to Dustin Hoffman
1032
00:52:20,657 --> 00:52:23,490
And a provocative new image
Foramen Bancroft
1033
00:52:24,428 --> 00:52:25,918
Mrs. Robinson...
1034
00:52:26,229 --> 00:52:29,824
do you think we could say a few words
to each other first, this time?
1035
00:52:30,867 --> 00:52:32,994
I don't think we have much to say to
each other
1036
00:52:33,804 --> 00:52:34,793
In The Graduate...
1037
00:52:35,005 --> 00:52:37,906
Hoffman's character not only beds
a married, older woman
1038
00:52:38,208 --> 00:52:42,008
He also falls in love with her daughter
played by Katharine Ross
1039
00:52:44,581 --> 00:52:48,381
The result was one of the milestone
movies of the 1960s
1040
00:52:50,887 --> 00:52:54,983
Dustin was not the typicaI, classic,
leading man guy
1041
00:52:55,659 --> 00:52:57,024
Are you in a rear position?
1042
00:52:57,294 --> 00:52:57,589
Yes, I am
1043
00:52:57,928 --> 00:52:58,895
No, I'm frontaI
1044
00:53:00,263 --> 00:53:03,824
And that Mike Nichols cast him
in the The Graduate...
1045
00:53:04,067 --> 00:53:05,762
made it be okay...
1046
00:53:06,036 --> 00:53:08,436
to not look perfect and still be...
1047
00:53:08,638 --> 00:53:10,731
a sexy human being
1048
00:53:11,341 --> 00:53:13,309
I am being honest
1049
00:53:13,510 --> 00:53:15,375
I am doing what I feeI like doing
1050
00:53:15,579 --> 00:53:16,546
Well, what do you feeI like doing?
1051
00:53:16,747 --> 00:53:19,648
Orgy, have an orgy, orgy, orgy...
1052
00:53:20,283 --> 00:53:24,515
Bedroom etiquette was even trickier
in the 1969 sex comedy...
1053
00:53:24,755 --> 00:53:26,586
Bob and CaroI
1054
00:53:26,823 --> 00:53:28,484
Director PauI Mazursky's look at
1055
00:53:28,725 --> 00:53:30,283
two pairs of married swingers
1056
00:53:30,627 --> 00:53:31,958
Alice, I could go to bed with you
1057
00:53:32,295 --> 00:53:34,559
Well, I'm not going to bed with anybody
1058
00:53:35,165 --> 00:53:36,154
Why Ted?
1059
00:53:36,867 --> 00:53:37,663
Why not?
1060
00:53:38,602 --> 00:53:39,569
I know you too well
1061
00:53:39,770 --> 00:53:41,567
If Bob says it's all right...
1062
00:53:41,805 --> 00:53:42,999
and Alice says it's all right...
1063
00:53:43,240 --> 00:53:44,798
and I say it's all right
1064
00:53:45,942 --> 00:53:49,469
The teasing of the Rock Hudson and
Doris Day movie...
1065
00:53:49,813 --> 00:53:51,041
and lots of others...
1066
00:53:51,481 --> 00:53:55,577
were all put to rest when Bob and CaroI
and Ted
1067
00:53:55,786 --> 00:53:57,686
And changed the face...
1068
00:53:57,921 --> 00:54:02,017
the very souI of comedy having to do
with sexuality...
1069
00:54:02,259 --> 00:54:03,226
forever
1070
00:54:03,560 --> 00:54:06,859
The last day on the set in Los Angeles
1071
00:54:07,097 --> 00:54:08,860
They wouldn't take off their underwear
1072
00:54:09,099 --> 00:54:09,497
I said:
1073
00:54:09,733 --> 00:54:12,133
Dyann, what is this with the brassiere?
1074
00:54:12,436 --> 00:54:13,232
And she said:
1075
00:54:13,470 --> 00:54:14,869
No, I'm not doing that
1076
00:54:15,338 --> 00:54:20,037
Natalie was not going to be the one
to jump into the cold water by herself
1077
00:54:20,310 --> 00:54:22,437
And she said absolutely not
1078
00:54:22,679 --> 00:54:26,706
And there we were with one of the
great moments, potentially...
1079
00:54:26,983 --> 00:54:28,541
of American film
1080
00:54:29,853 --> 00:54:34,552
Fine, cut, print, go to the dailies
and it's exactly right
1081
00:54:35,459 --> 00:54:36,517
Hey everybody
1082
00:54:37,594 --> 00:54:38,856
Game time
1083
00:54:39,563 --> 00:54:44,159
A different kind of truth came sizzling to
the screen in The Boy in the Band
1084
00:54:44,401 --> 00:54:50,101
The first Hollywood film to focus on life,
love and sex in the gay community
1085
00:54:50,307 --> 00:54:53,504
It's my right to lead my sex life without
answering to anybody
1086
00:54:53,710 --> 00:54:55,610
I'll be your topless cocktaiI waitress
1087
00:54:55,912 --> 00:54:58,210
Boys in the Band had been
a Broadway play...
1088
00:54:58,482 --> 00:55:01,110
that translated to brilliant movie that...
1089
00:55:01,351 --> 00:55:04,752
showed gays as regular people
1090
00:55:04,988 --> 00:55:06,979
Not as freaks, not a slideshow
1091
00:55:07,190 --> 00:55:09,852
Not as strange people on
the periphery of culture
1092
00:55:10,126 --> 00:55:11,093
But as human beings...
1093
00:55:11,261 --> 00:55:12,990
this is Hollywood at its best
1094
00:55:13,830 --> 00:55:15,229
I'm Joe Buck from Texas
1095
00:55:15,465 --> 00:55:17,399
Enrico Rizzo from the Bronx
1096
00:55:18,101 --> 00:55:21,730
Hollywood's sexuaI freedom climaxed
in 1969...
1097
00:55:21,972 --> 00:55:24,304
with a film that achieved
the unthinkable...
1098
00:55:24,608 --> 00:55:29,307
mainstream movie with a list stars and
an X rating
1099
00:55:29,513 --> 00:55:31,037
I am not a for reaI cowboy
1100
00:55:31,248 --> 00:55:32,579
But I am one hell of a stud
1101
00:55:32,816 --> 00:55:35,546
Midnight Cowboy was about a hayseed
who comes to New York city...
1102
00:55:35,819 --> 00:55:38,344
thinking he's going to make a fortune
as a male prostitute
1103
00:55:38,588 --> 00:55:43,116
And pays for that naivet in every
possible way
1104
00:55:43,360 --> 00:55:46,693
It was just a remarkable film for
Hollywood to make
1105
00:55:46,930 --> 00:55:48,727
You aren't got no $25 on you?
1106
00:55:48,965 --> 00:55:49,954
No
1107
00:55:51,301 --> 00:55:52,233
What are you going to do to me?
1108
00:55:52,936 --> 00:55:54,460
Well, what in the hell do you think
I'm going to do to you?
1109
00:55:54,671 --> 00:55:55,763
What do you want me to
do with you, boy?
1110
00:55:56,039 --> 00:55:56,903
Do you want me to beat on you?
1111
00:55:57,140 --> 00:55:58,107
Is that what you want?
1112
00:55:58,408 --> 00:55:59,705
No, no, no...
1113
00:55:59,943 --> 00:56:02,912
Midnight Cowboy showed
male gigolos...
1114
00:56:03,113 --> 00:56:05,707
and a male friendship that bordered
on sexuaI
1115
00:56:06,249 --> 00:56:09,582
This was a first and almost an only
1116
00:56:09,986 --> 00:56:12,921
Just as shocking as Midnight Cowboy
story...
1117
00:56:13,123 --> 00:56:16,752
was the fact that it became the first and
only X-rated movie...
1118
00:56:16,960 --> 00:56:19,360
to win the Academy Award
for Best Picture
1119
00:56:22,098 --> 00:56:28,401
Months later in 19/0, an X rating was
also branded on another big studio film...
1120
00:56:28,638 --> 00:56:30,230
that outraged both critics...
1121
00:56:31,041 --> 00:56:31,700
Gotcha...
1122
00:56:31,975 --> 00:56:32,964
and audiences
1123
00:56:33,577 --> 00:56:38,412
Gentlemen, I'm Myra Beckinridge
1124
00:56:38,982 --> 00:56:41,007
Uncle Buck your fag nephew became...
1125
00:56:41,251 --> 00:56:43,344
your niece 2 years ago in Copenhagen
1126
00:56:43,587 --> 00:56:45,953
And is now free as a bird and happy
in being...
1127
00:56:46,189 --> 00:56:48,885
a most extraordinary woman in the world
1128
00:56:49,926 --> 00:56:52,417
Myra Breckinridge starred
RaqueI Welch...
1129
00:56:52,629 --> 00:56:55,393
as author Gore VidaI's hero
turned heroine...
1130
00:56:55,599 --> 00:56:57,726
who takes a wild ride through Hollywood
1131
00:56:57,934 --> 00:57:01,870
After a sex change turns Myra from
a He to a She
1132
00:57:03,506 --> 00:57:05,565
It must be demonstrated to
you practically...
1133
00:57:05,775 --> 00:57:08,107
that there is no such things as manhood
1134
00:57:08,712 --> 00:57:10,543
It died with Burt Lancaster and...
1135
00:57:10,814 --> 00:57:11,542
Vera Cruz
1136
00:57:11,781 --> 00:57:15,308
Your manhood was taken by
ErroI Flynn and Clark Gable
1137
00:57:17,520 --> 00:57:21,752
I am only going to supply you with
the finishing touches
1138
00:57:22,993 --> 00:57:25,689
Charge
1139
00:57:30,400 --> 00:57:33,164
Myra Breckinridge was the boldest
career move...
1140
00:57:33,403 --> 00:57:34,335
for RaqueI Welch...
1141
00:57:34,537 --> 00:57:38,405
who by 19/0 was the reigning sex
Queen of her generation
1142
00:57:38,708 --> 00:57:40,573
Introducing the fabulous RaqueI Welch
1143
00:57:40,844 --> 00:57:43,904
The sensation star-discovery of this or
any other year...
1144
00:57:44,147 --> 00:57:46,615
in One Million Years B.C.
1145
00:57:47,250 --> 00:57:50,708
Welch represented a different female
erotic icon
1146
00:57:51,154 --> 00:57:55,716
A sexuaI conqueror who belonged
on top as much as any man did
1147
00:57:56,059 --> 00:57:57,924
RaqueI Welch was highly sexuaI...
1148
00:57:58,194 --> 00:58:00,526
highly intelligent, but kind of Amazonian
1149
00:58:02,198 --> 00:58:04,826
The great poster image of RaqueI
from A Million Year B.C...
1150
00:58:05,101 --> 00:58:08,662
seems to me one of the supreme
images of women of the 20th century...
1151
00:58:08,905 --> 00:58:11,271
because what it represents is
primevaI woman
1152
00:58:14,577 --> 00:58:18,707
I was anointed the sex symboI
of that era
1153
00:58:19,649 --> 00:58:24,143
And I was socially, politically correct
1154
00:58:24,921 --> 00:58:26,684
Turn your head to the side and cough
1155
00:58:28,491 --> 00:58:31,051
This was the age of girls burning
their bras
1156
00:58:31,294 --> 00:58:32,352
Taking off their makeup
1157
00:58:32,562 --> 00:58:36,089
The whole shift in the roles of the sexes
were changing
1158
00:58:42,672 --> 00:58:44,663
In the western 100 Rifles...
1159
00:58:44,808 --> 00:58:47,743
RaqueI also broke new sexuaI ground
in Hollywood...
1160
00:58:48,011 --> 00:58:49,979
with a steamy, interraciaI love scene...
1161
00:58:50,280 --> 00:58:54,341
between the actress and football star
turned actor Jim Brown
1162
00:58:58,154 --> 00:59:04,753
No, no, please
1163
00:59:04,994 --> 00:59:06,427
Not like this
1164
00:59:08,431 --> 00:59:09,591
Not with you
1165
00:59:11,367 --> 00:59:12,994
I was worried that it...
1166
00:59:13,236 --> 00:59:16,000
was going to be a big gimmick and then...
1167
00:59:16,206 --> 00:59:16,570
I said:
1168
00:59:16,840 --> 00:59:18,967
Well, I know he's a legendary
football player, but...
1169
00:59:19,209 --> 00:59:19,766
you know...
1170
00:59:20,076 --> 00:59:21,475
we have to do all these
intimate scenes...
1171
00:59:21,711 --> 00:59:23,338
and things and what's that
going to be like?
1172
00:59:29,319 --> 00:59:35,258
The tension between them became
so volcanic...
1173
00:59:35,458 --> 00:59:39,326
because of the pressure that was being
put on them to be...
1174
00:59:39,529 --> 00:59:41,019
Well, these two animals...
1175
00:59:41,364 --> 00:59:46,768
you know, this panther and this tiger...
1176
00:59:46,970 --> 00:59:50,201
analogies that you could use of two
sexuaI animals...
1177
00:59:50,406 --> 00:59:52,067
that are going to be on screen
1178
00:59:59,716 --> 01:00:03,277
Everything you always wanted to know
about sex
1179
01:00:03,486 --> 01:00:05,010
I think it could work...
1180
01:00:06,089 --> 01:00:07,579
if we gave it a chance
1181
01:00:07,857 --> 01:00:11,520
It's most distastefuI in view to the fact
that the sheep was under 18 years old
1182
01:00:11,895 --> 01:00:12,623
So, what
1183
01:00:12,862 --> 01:00:14,727
You've been a naughty Rabbi
1184
01:00:14,998 --> 01:00:16,056
Blasphemy
1185
01:00:17,167 --> 01:00:21,228
After the wild, liberating sexuality of
the 1960s...
1186
01:00:21,437 --> 01:00:26,500
the 19/Os would bring an even more
adventurous edge to sex in the movies
1187
01:00:27,777 --> 01:00:29,005
Come in here
1188
01:00:29,245 --> 01:00:31,440
Bree DanieI, girI on the brink
1189
01:00:31,681 --> 01:00:35,173
Somewhere among her clientele is
a freak who murders call girls
1190
01:00:36,052 --> 01:00:38,646
Audiences were embracing erotic stars
ranging from...
1191
01:00:38,888 --> 01:00:42,221
Jane Fonda and Donald Sutherland
in Klute...
1192
01:00:42,625 --> 01:00:45,594
to Ruth Gordon in the May-December
sex comedy...
1193
01:00:45,829 --> 01:00:46,818
Harold and Maude
1194
01:00:49,232 --> 01:00:50,529
Where's my old lady?
1195
01:00:51,067 --> 01:00:54,059
If you look at the /Os,
you saw a moment...
1196
01:00:54,337 --> 01:00:56,703
that can only be described by
the word candor...
1197
01:00:57,140 --> 01:00:58,903
A physicaI candor
1198
01:00:59,242 --> 01:01:02,473
Stars said we aren't going to stop
at the bedroom door
1199
01:01:02,679 --> 01:01:05,648
We're going to show what happens
on the other side of that door
1200
01:01:07,150 --> 01:01:11,052
As Hollywood pushed the sexuaI limits
for mainstream moviegoers...
1201
01:01:11,287 --> 01:01:13,812
The X-rating allowed smaller filmmaker...
1202
01:01:14,090 --> 01:01:15,421
to go even further
1203
01:01:15,959 --> 01:01:19,190
Leading the pack was ex-playboy
centerfold photographer...
1204
01:01:19,429 --> 01:01:20,487
Russ Meyer
1205
01:01:20,797 --> 01:01:21,923
His low-budget...
1206
01:01:22,232 --> 01:01:24,097
independently produced movie Vixen...
1207
01:01:24,367 --> 01:01:26,358
crossed over into
neighborhood theaters
1208
01:01:26,603 --> 01:01:29,071
And grossed a massive
six million dollars
1209
01:01:29,372 --> 01:01:31,738
It wasn't anymore in those houses that...
1210
01:01:32,041 --> 01:01:34,703
men would sneak in with hats
and raincoats
1211
01:01:34,944 --> 01:01:37,310
It was in houses where people
stood around the block...
1212
01:01:37,547 --> 01:01:40,072
waiting to get in and were embarrassed
1213
01:01:40,316 --> 01:01:45,379
The grosses were so enormous
Hollywood sat up and took notice
1214
01:01:46,022 --> 01:01:50,118
In 19/0, 20th Century Fox hired Meyer
to direct...
1215
01:01:50,360 --> 01:01:51,952
Beyond the Valley of the Dolls...
1216
01:01:52,195 --> 01:01:55,858
written by a young, Chicago film critic
named Roger Ebert
1217
01:01:56,199 --> 01:01:59,259
I was a fan on his films
all the way back to...
1218
01:01:59,636 --> 01:02:00,364
The ImmoraI Mr. Teas
1219
01:02:00,670 --> 01:02:01,728
And of course Russ was also...
1220
01:02:02,005 --> 01:02:02,403
an outsider...
1221
01:02:02,672 --> 01:02:05,038
so we kind of took over the asylum
1222
01:02:07,577 --> 01:02:08,976
FeeI it my pretty?
1223
01:02:09,312 --> 01:02:11,177
The night is filled with magic
1224
01:02:11,981 --> 01:02:13,608
Mark my words little dove
1225
01:02:14,083 --> 01:02:15,573
The night is speciaI
1226
01:02:15,919 --> 01:02:16,408
Beyond the Valley of the Dolls...
1227
01:02:16,719 --> 01:02:20,621
is one of the most successfuI movies
in the history of 20th Century Fox...
1228
01:02:20,857 --> 01:02:23,087
in terms of its cost versus its income
1229
01:02:23,326 --> 01:02:27,160
It cost $900000and it grossed around
sixty million dollars
1230
01:02:29,265 --> 01:02:30,197
Come on
1231
01:02:31,234 --> 01:02:32,633
Sorry to disturb you
1232
01:02:32,869 --> 01:02:33,927
It's cooI, baby
1233
01:02:35,271 --> 01:02:37,398
He had gays and lesbians
1234
01:02:40,009 --> 01:02:41,977
We had dominant females
1235
01:02:42,178 --> 01:02:43,110
We had bondage
1236
01:02:43,346 --> 01:02:44,643
Let the games begin
1237
01:02:45,615 --> 01:02:46,843
We had an orgy
1238
01:02:49,152 --> 01:02:53,418
The movie, basically, had everything
in it but the kitchen sink
1239
01:02:53,690 --> 01:02:55,851
I'd like to strap you on sometime
1240
01:02:56,059 --> 01:03:00,462
The big element of Russ Meyer was
his outrageous sexuaI situations
1241
01:03:00,663 --> 01:03:03,223
His use of sexually voracious women
1242
01:03:03,433 --> 01:03:05,560
You kids are supposed to be swingers
1243
01:03:05,768 --> 01:03:08,396
I think it would be a gas to make love
on the beach
1244
01:03:08,738 --> 01:03:11,605
In his movies, the women are always
in command...
1245
01:03:11,841 --> 01:03:14,173
and the men are the mindless
sex objects
1246
01:03:16,946 --> 01:03:20,313
The raw, urban cinema nicknamed
blacksploitation was also...
1247
01:03:20,550 --> 01:03:23,542
bring heavy doses of sex to moviegoers
1248
01:03:23,786 --> 01:03:25,185
I know what you want to do...
1249
01:03:25,388 --> 01:03:26,685
and you're going to get it
1250
01:03:26,923 --> 01:03:29,391
It surprised sleeper hits like Shaft...
1251
01:03:29,625 --> 01:03:30,751
and Super Fly
1252
01:03:30,960 --> 01:03:33,793
When it comes to women
they come to him
1253
01:03:34,030 --> 01:03:35,691
But it's still not enough
1254
01:03:35,898 --> 01:03:38,230
The sex scenes in
the blacksploitation movies...
1255
01:03:38,568 --> 01:03:40,297
were long and extravagant
1256
01:03:40,970 --> 01:03:43,734
What people might now call
softcore porn
1257
01:03:44,007 --> 01:03:47,807
But that was in keeping with the
dominant sociaI perception...
1258
01:03:48,044 --> 01:03:51,036
that black people are
sexuaI beasts anyway
1259
01:03:51,314 --> 01:03:52,611
When he's baddest...
1260
01:03:52,849 --> 01:03:54,111
What do you want for breakfast?
1261
01:03:55,151 --> 01:03:56,448
He's the best
1262
01:03:56,652 --> 01:03:57,641
What do you think?
1263
01:03:58,187 --> 01:04:02,954
The classic genre of the horror film was
also getting a fresh transfusion...
1264
01:04:03,192 --> 01:04:05,422
thanks to the sexuaI freedom of the day
1265
01:04:05,995 --> 01:04:07,656
Vampire lover...
1266
01:04:07,930 --> 01:04:12,663
perverted creatures of the night find
their victims everywhere
1267
01:04:15,238 --> 01:04:17,672
England's Hammer Studios
had long featured...
1268
01:04:17,907 --> 01:04:21,070
a sure-fired recipe of bosoms
and blood
1269
01:04:22,645 --> 01:04:25,910
It targeted an audience of mostly
adolescent males...
1270
01:04:26,149 --> 01:04:30,779
drawn in by the promise of gothic horror
and suggestive sexuality
1271
01:04:31,421 --> 01:04:35,187
Now the Hammer formula broadened
to include skin...
1272
01:04:35,425 --> 01:04:37,586
and more explicit eroticism
1273
01:04:37,794 --> 01:04:39,853
The first ones were very sort of...
1274
01:04:40,530 --> 01:04:42,327
They were more naughty sexy
1275
01:04:42,632 --> 01:04:43,758
Take her with you
1276
01:04:44,233 --> 01:04:46,428
He'll do terrible things to her if you don't...
1277
01:04:46,702 --> 01:04:47,896
terrible things
1278
01:04:50,306 --> 01:04:53,764
And then as they started coming into
the /Os and all of a sudden...
1279
01:04:54,010 --> 01:04:56,478
they had to sort of deaI with nudity
1280
01:04:56,712 --> 01:05:00,307
Drink the blood of the virgins and
turn them into zombies
1281
01:05:01,984 --> 01:05:03,508
One of the top-selling...
1282
01:05:03,753 --> 01:05:08,452
genres or sub-genres of low-budget
movie making is female vampires
1283
01:05:08,658 --> 01:05:11,422
And female, lesbian vampires even
more popular
1284
01:05:11,861 --> 01:05:13,886
The two producers wanted to...
1285
01:05:14,163 --> 01:05:16,324
have a bit of a sexy film here
1286
01:05:16,532 --> 01:05:19,228
You know, about lesbians
and all this sort of thing
1287
01:05:19,469 --> 01:05:20,401
I thought...
1288
01:05:20,636 --> 01:05:22,069
it was a love story
1289
01:05:22,672 --> 01:05:25,573
You must die, everybody must die
1290
01:05:27,110 --> 01:05:31,877
These actresses were all there was
a certain sexuality that most of them had
1291
01:05:32,115 --> 01:05:33,776
Certainly Ingrid, myself...
1292
01:05:34,016 --> 01:05:35,916
we were chosen for that I think
1293
01:05:36,185 --> 01:05:40,451
There was a certain, definite,
sexuaI base to all of us
1294
01:05:40,756 --> 01:05:42,223
And it came through
1295
01:05:42,859 --> 01:05:44,417
You got toothpaste all over your mouth
1296
01:05:45,361 --> 01:05:46,419
Eat it off
1297
01:05:48,131 --> 01:05:52,227
Sex was a key ingredient
in a more upscale horror film
1298
01:05:52,468 --> 01:05:54,993
19/3's Don't Look Now...
1299
01:05:55,204 --> 01:05:57,798
starring Donald Sutherland and
Julie Christie...
1300
01:05:58,040 --> 01:05:59,974
told the story of a couple haunter by...
1301
01:06:00,209 --> 01:06:01,904
the ghost of their dead child
1302
01:06:05,314 --> 01:06:06,838
A sophisticated thriller
1303
01:06:07,083 --> 01:06:09,051
It also offered a movie first...
1304
01:06:09,252 --> 01:06:13,348
an explicit sex scene featuring two
internationaI film stars
1305
01:06:13,589 --> 01:06:16,615
Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie
in Don't Look Now
1306
01:06:16,826 --> 01:06:20,387
Have what has to be in the top 10
sex scene of all time
1307
01:06:20,663 --> 01:06:22,563
But it's more than sex...
1308
01:06:23,266 --> 01:06:27,032
the scene begins with her dressing
after the sex...
1309
01:06:27,270 --> 01:06:30,706
that as she buttons the buttons on her
blouse to go out for the evening...
1310
01:06:30,940 --> 01:06:33,534
she recalls specific moments
in the sex act
1311
01:06:33,743 --> 01:06:36,803
And that this is the sex act that is
the first step towards healing...
1312
01:06:37,113 --> 01:06:38,705
after the loss of a child
1313
01:06:40,516 --> 01:06:41,881
It's grief sex
1314
01:06:42,118 --> 01:06:45,519
It's healing sex, it's naked, it's adult sex
1315
01:07:04,073 --> 01:07:05,802
Both in America and Europe...
1316
01:07:06,042 --> 01:07:08,602
other major film stars dared to bare all...
1317
01:07:08,811 --> 01:07:13,805
in a series of sexually charged hits that
blended the artistic and the erotic
1318
01:07:14,083 --> 01:07:15,675
Films were...
1319
01:07:16,419 --> 01:07:20,150
actually more liberated sexually
at that time than they are now
1320
01:07:23,693 --> 01:07:25,354
It's like we're breaking boundaries
1321
01:07:25,628 --> 01:07:28,096
We're pushing the end of the envelope
1322
01:07:28,598 --> 01:07:29,690
A strong man
1323
01:07:31,901 --> 01:07:32,959
A weak man
1324
01:07:34,070 --> 01:07:35,264
Tell me what to do
1325
01:07:35,605 --> 01:07:36,833
Tell me what to do
1326
01:07:37,039 --> 01:07:37,505
No
1327
01:07:37,773 --> 01:07:38,831
The Night Porter
1328
01:07:39,542 --> 01:07:43,876
But in 19/2, cinemas most explicit
sex scene's...
1329
01:07:44,113 --> 01:07:45,341
were all upstaged
1330
01:07:45,548 --> 01:07:48,108
By an ultra, low-budget porno movie...
1331
01:07:48,317 --> 01:07:52,310
that made Hollywood's sexiest films
look like Sunday schooI
1332
01:07:52,955 --> 01:07:54,786
I try, but I choke
1333
01:07:55,024 --> 01:07:57,151
Well now, I hear
it's a matter of discipline
1334
01:07:57,393 --> 01:07:59,987
You have to learn to relax the muscles
1335
01:08:00,196 --> 01:08:03,461
You have to regulate your breathing
to the movement of your head
1336
01:08:04,533 --> 01:08:07,001
Deep Throat starring Linda Lovelace
1337
01:08:07,236 --> 01:08:09,602
launched a new era of porno chic
1338
01:08:09,839 --> 01:08:13,036
ultimately grossing
over 600 million dollars
1339
01:08:13,542 --> 01:08:16,534
Its title even became part of
popular culture...
1340
01:08:16,746 --> 01:08:19,146
when it was used by the secret
Whitehouse informer...
1341
01:08:19,382 --> 01:08:21,407
who blew the lid off water gate
1342
01:08:21,617 --> 01:08:25,053
Deep Throat was the subject of
Johnny Carson jokes
1343
01:08:25,288 --> 01:08:27,153
Ed McMahon would pull up
in a limousine
1344
01:08:27,390 --> 01:08:29,688
Jack Nicholson could be seen going to
see this movie
1345
01:08:30,059 --> 01:08:32,289
We all said sex was cooI
1346
01:08:32,962 --> 01:08:35,487
Inspired by the mega success
of Deep Throat...
1347
01:08:35,731 --> 01:08:40,100
hundreds of would-be filmmakers
jumped on the adult movie bandwagon
1348
01:08:40,836 --> 01:08:43,634
Hollywood was now competing
and sometimes...
1349
01:08:43,873 --> 01:08:46,398
blown away by hardcore porn
1350
01:08:46,776 --> 01:08:48,004
Deep Throat was the rage...
1351
01:08:48,277 --> 01:08:49,403
and Behind the Green Door...
1352
01:08:49,679 --> 01:08:52,443
I believe was the rage and everybody
was supposed to see it
1353
01:08:52,682 --> 01:08:54,980
Behind the infamous green door...
1354
01:08:55,184 --> 01:08:58,915
she was made to perform the most
bizarre sexuaI experiment ever...
1355
01:08:59,155 --> 01:09:01,646
conceived in the twisted mind of man
1356
01:09:04,493 --> 01:09:07,826
The seeds of the sexuaI revolution
were in full bloom
1357
01:09:09,565 --> 01:09:14,559
And for the next few years, celebrity
and sexuality went hand-in-hand
1358
01:09:14,770 --> 01:09:16,931
As stars stripped down for the camera...
1359
01:09:17,173 --> 01:09:20,631
and celebrated in the private enclaves
of the playboy mansion
1360
01:09:20,943 --> 01:09:22,843
The /Os was one long party
1361
01:09:23,179 --> 01:09:27,013
And the chaos of the 60s gave way to...
1362
01:09:27,750 --> 01:09:30,844
a kind of celebration that certainly
had its excesses
1363
01:09:31,554 --> 01:09:33,419
But when you talk about
the sexuaI revolution...
1364
01:09:33,689 --> 01:09:34,917
it was the time of Eden
1365
01:09:39,762 --> 01:09:42,754
That Anything Goes sexuality
was also reflected...
1366
01:09:42,998 --> 01:09:45,626
in the androgynous world
of rock and roll
1367
01:09:46,035 --> 01:09:49,095
And that image traveled to the
big screen with singers...
1368
01:09:49,338 --> 01:09:50,270
turned actors like...
1369
01:09:50,539 --> 01:09:51,471
David Bowie...
1370
01:09:51,741 --> 01:09:52,765
Mick Jagger...
1371
01:09:53,075 --> 01:09:54,337
And Tim Curry...
1372
01:09:54,643 --> 01:09:58,443
star of the classic
The Rocky Horror Picture Show
1373
01:10:01,917 --> 01:10:04,909
The biggest shock to all of us...
1374
01:10:05,154 --> 01:10:08,885
was that Tim Curry dressed
in ripped fishnet...
1375
01:10:09,091 --> 01:10:11,525
was going to be such a turn-on
1376
01:10:15,331 --> 01:10:18,698
So come up the lab
1377
01:10:19,268 --> 01:10:21,566
And see what's on the slab
1378
01:10:22,538 --> 01:10:28,841
I see you shiver with anticipation
1379
01:10:29,078 --> 01:10:30,375
Women would be sitting in the audience
1380
01:10:31,080 --> 01:10:35,517
Excuse me and the guy sitting next
to the girI would go...
1381
01:10:35,785 --> 01:10:37,776
Yes, I see what you mean
1382
01:10:41,690 --> 01:10:42,122
Stop
1383
01:10:42,358 --> 01:10:42,687
So soft
1384
01:10:42,958 --> 01:10:44,755
I mean help, Brad
1385
01:10:44,994 --> 01:10:48,953
Brad's probably asleep by now
1386
01:10:49,198 --> 01:10:51,098
Do you want him to see you like this?
1387
01:10:51,333 --> 01:10:52,322
This movie has...
1388
01:10:52,568 --> 01:10:54,035
some explicit sex in it...
1389
01:10:54,804 --> 01:10:56,965
which nobody and I repeat...
1390
01:10:57,173 --> 01:11:00,040
nobody has ever had any problems with
1391
01:11:00,276 --> 01:11:01,174
Janet
1392
01:11:01,911 --> 01:11:03,037
And I find that astonishing
1393
01:11:03,312 --> 01:11:07,305
We actually have a scene where a man
goes down on another man
1394
01:11:07,650 --> 01:11:10,710
There's no crime in giving yourself over
to pleasure
1395
01:11:11,454 --> 01:11:14,912
Brad, you've wasted so much time
already
1396
01:11:15,391 --> 01:11:16,722
Janet needn't know
1397
01:11:16,992 --> 01:11:18,220
I won't tell her
1398
01:11:19,595 --> 01:11:20,994
Well, you promise you won't tell?
1399
01:11:22,731 --> 01:11:24,528
On my mother's grave
1400
01:11:26,068 --> 01:11:29,799
Nobody from day one through to the
present time...
1401
01:11:30,039 --> 01:11:34,635
has ever mentioned it because
somehow or rather...
1402
01:11:35,010 --> 01:11:36,534
there's an innocence about it
1403
01:11:37,046 --> 01:11:39,480
Such a perfect specimen of manhood...
1404
01:11:39,748 --> 01:11:41,648
so dominant
1405
01:11:45,287 --> 01:11:47,755
To the chief of studio security...
1406
01:11:48,023 --> 01:11:50,150
from head of production of...
1407
01:11:50,392 --> 01:11:52,587
Gore VidaI's Caligula
1408
01:11:53,262 --> 01:11:57,824
No journalists, photographers, friends
or even family...
1409
01:11:58,067 --> 01:12:01,628
of those involved on the production
will be allowed on the set
1410
01:12:05,474 --> 01:12:09,035
As the disco decade of the 19/Os
came to an end...
1411
01:12:09,245 --> 01:12:12,703
moviegoers were shocked and
outraged by a film...
1412
01:12:12,915 --> 01:12:15,315
whose award-winning cast was
overshadowed...
1413
01:12:15,518 --> 01:12:18,487
by a non-stop barrage of
sexuaI depravity
1414
01:12:18,954 --> 01:12:20,319
We have lots of...
1415
01:12:20,823 --> 01:12:22,484
sex in the film
1416
01:12:22,691 --> 01:12:25,251
Caligula from a script by Gore VidaI...
1417
01:12:25,494 --> 01:12:26,961
starred Malcolm McDowell...
1418
01:12:27,196 --> 01:12:28,060
Peter O'toole...
1419
01:12:28,264 --> 01:12:29,754
and sir John Gielgud
1420
01:12:30,466 --> 01:12:32,696
But the film's true guiding force...
1421
01:12:32,902 --> 01:12:35,234
was producer Bob Guccione...
1422
01:12:35,471 --> 01:12:37,200
founder of Penthouse magazine
1423
01:12:37,540 --> 01:12:41,067
In order to make this film
historically accurate...
1424
01:12:41,310 --> 01:12:44,746
we decided to show life in Rome
exactly as it was
1425
01:12:44,947 --> 01:12:47,780
Guccione came in after all the actors
had left the sound stage...
1426
01:12:48,017 --> 01:12:52,249
and filmed a lot of X-rated sex scenes
full of everything...
1427
01:12:52,488 --> 01:12:54,217
imaginable and unimaginable
1428
01:12:54,456 --> 01:12:55,548
Action
1429
01:12:55,758 --> 01:12:57,623
Critics called Caligula the first...
1430
01:12:57,860 --> 01:12:59,987
15 million dollar porn epic
1431
01:13:00,229 --> 01:13:02,857
Dripping with gratuitous sex and Gore...
1432
01:13:03,098 --> 01:13:05,191
Caligula became so infamous...
1433
01:13:05,434 --> 01:13:07,493
few mainstream theaters would show it
1434
01:13:07,836 --> 01:13:11,067
He dealt with the difficulty of certain
movie chains not wanting to show...
1435
01:13:11,340 --> 01:13:13,968
Caligula by building speciaI theaters...
1436
01:13:14,243 --> 01:13:15,801
for Caligula to be shown in
1437
01:13:16,245 --> 01:13:17,872
Caligula-themed theaters
1438
01:13:18,280 --> 01:13:21,147
This is pornography, this is pornography
1439
01:13:21,584 --> 01:13:25,076
And we think this is absolutely vitaI
to the success of the film
1440
01:13:25,988 --> 01:13:29,185
But Caligula would be the last
righteous BacchanaI...
1441
01:13:29,391 --> 01:13:33,350
before a new era of conservatism
settled across America
1442
01:13:33,796 --> 01:13:36,162
Preserve, protect and defend
1443
01:13:36,398 --> 01:13:38,332
The Constitution of the United States
1444
01:13:38,567 --> 01:13:40,626
The Constitution of the United States
1445
01:13:41,036 --> 01:13:44,028
The 1980 election of president
Ronald Regan...
1446
01:13:44,273 --> 01:13:48,369
ushered in a new age of
the religious right and moraI outrage...
1447
01:13:48,611 --> 01:13:51,978
over what many saw as a society
fixated on porn
1448
01:13:52,214 --> 01:13:53,374
So help me God
1449
01:13:53,649 --> 01:13:54,673
The religious right...
1450
01:13:55,284 --> 01:13:58,219
the moraI majority helped get
Regan elected
1451
01:13:58,487 --> 01:14:00,785
And paid them back with
Meese Commission
1452
01:14:01,023 --> 01:14:03,992
And the Messe Commission in turn did
a cross-country witch hunt
1453
01:14:04,259 --> 01:14:06,352
Led by Attorney GeneraI Messe...
1454
01:14:06,562 --> 01:14:09,622
the commission's study of pornography
in America had swift...
1455
01:14:09,865 --> 01:14:11,594
and sweeping consequences
1456
01:14:12,034 --> 01:14:13,968
Almost overnight magazines like...
1457
01:14:14,236 --> 01:14:15,396
Playboy and Penthouse...
1458
01:14:15,638 --> 01:14:17,606
were purged from convenience stores
1459
01:14:18,173 --> 01:14:22,405
Red-light districts like Boston's infamous
combat zone were shutdown
1460
01:14:23,846 --> 01:14:25,905
And after a decade in the mainstream...
1461
01:14:26,115 --> 01:14:28,606
sex was going underground
shifting from...
1462
01:14:28,817 --> 01:14:31,911
movie theaters into baby boomers'
living room
1463
01:14:32,154 --> 01:14:36,022
Thanks to the advent of a new sex toy-
The VCR
1464
01:14:37,092 --> 01:14:39,617
People became a little bit more
uncomfortable...
1465
01:14:39,828 --> 01:14:42,388
with the open presentation of sexuality
1466
01:14:42,631 --> 01:14:44,929
You had a very good movie like
Body Heat
1467
01:14:45,167 --> 01:14:46,293
Extremely well done...
1468
01:14:46,735 --> 01:14:48,726
that did not do well at the box office
1469
01:14:49,004 --> 01:14:50,164
What are you looking at?
1470
01:14:50,639 --> 01:14:51,606
Your muscles
1471
01:14:51,807 --> 01:14:53,604
Instead, studios targeted...
1472
01:14:53,842 --> 01:14:55,639
sex-starved teenagers
1473
01:14:55,911 --> 01:14:57,538
My heart beating so fast
1474
01:14:57,813 --> 01:14:58,939
Mine too
1475
01:14:59,148 --> 01:15:03,175
With softcore eroticism like 1980s
The Blue Lagoon
1476
01:15:03,619 --> 01:15:04,483
Kiss me
1477
01:15:05,354 --> 01:15:06,378
You're all sticky
1478
01:15:06,955 --> 01:15:10,220
The film starred Christopher Atkins
and Brooke Shields
1479
01:15:10,459 --> 01:15:14,361
in a story mixing Adam and Eve
innocence with sanitized sex...
1480
01:15:14,596 --> 01:15:17,895
and brief nudity courtesy of
a body-double for Shields
1481
01:15:18,067 --> 01:15:19,762
I've seen you playing with it...
1482
01:15:20,002 --> 01:15:22,436
and I'll tell your father if he ever gets here
1483
01:15:22,671 --> 01:15:24,161
You, I hate you
1484
01:15:26,075 --> 01:15:27,337
You almost hit me
1485
01:15:27,543 --> 01:15:29,408
Take it back, take back what you said
1486
01:15:29,611 --> 01:15:30,578
I've seen it at all
1487
01:15:30,813 --> 01:15:32,508
What happens after you've been
doing it a long time?
1488
01:15:32,715 --> 01:15:34,615
Shut up, that isn't fair peeking
1489
01:15:34,817 --> 01:15:35,545
I don't peek on you
1490
01:15:35,784 --> 01:15:38,014
That's a lie, you always staring at
my buppies
1491
01:15:38,253 --> 01:15:39,982
Goochie, oochie...
1492
01:15:40,255 --> 01:15:42,587
Stop that Richard or I'll never talk
to you again
1493
01:15:42,825 --> 01:15:44,053
Hoochie-goochie, Hoochie-goochie
1494
01:15:44,293 --> 01:15:46,056
See them jiggle, wiggle a chest
1495
01:15:47,663 --> 01:15:51,724
Get ready for the wildest,
sexiest, craziest...
1496
01:15:51,967 --> 01:15:55,425
most intellectually stimulating movie
of the year H.O.T.S.
1497
01:15:55,738 --> 01:15:57,365
It will make your temperature rise
1498
01:15:57,573 --> 01:15:59,006
But during the 1980s...
1499
01:15:59,208 --> 01:16:01,972
Hollywood mined even greater
box office gold...
1500
01:16:02,177 --> 01:16:04,702
thanks to an explosion of
teen sex comedies
1501
01:16:05,147 --> 01:16:06,444
Fraternity Vacation...
1502
01:16:06,648 --> 01:16:08,912
the comedy in a class by itself
1503
01:16:10,919 --> 01:16:14,013
On the heels of 19/8's AnimaI House
1504
01:16:14,256 --> 01:16:17,817
Movie screens were barraged by
tales of horny adolescence...
1505
01:16:18,060 --> 01:16:21,393
on a frenzied search for
their first sexuaI conquests
1506
01:16:21,563 --> 01:16:26,364
You had the enormous success of
raunchy comedies
1507
01:16:26,635 --> 01:16:27,863
Lauderdale
1508
01:16:28,137 --> 01:16:29,468
All right
1509
01:16:30,372 --> 01:16:31,304
Because they were new
1510
01:16:31,573 --> 01:16:32,505
They were something new
1511
01:16:32,808 --> 01:16:34,366
For millions of teenagers...
1512
01:16:34,576 --> 01:16:38,535
Porky's styled comedies were
the closest thing to experience sex
1513
01:16:38,747 --> 01:16:41,910
And act rarely shown,
but endless teased
1514
01:16:42,184 --> 01:16:44,243
We can't show you more of
the shower scene
1515
01:16:44,453 --> 01:16:45,545
Tommy, what are you doing?
1516
01:16:45,754 --> 01:16:48,450
Because what they're looking at
isn't watered down
1517
01:16:50,793 --> 01:16:54,422
Not every title in the teen genre aimed
below the belt
1518
01:16:54,696 --> 01:16:57,164
A few broke the mold by
blending comedy...
1519
01:16:57,366 --> 01:16:59,800
with sensitive looks at
adolescent issues
1520
01:17:07,976 --> 01:17:09,409
You're really a good kisser
1521
01:17:09,611 --> 01:17:12,273
Yeah? So are you
1522
01:17:13,682 --> 01:17:16,583
1982's Fast times at Ridge Mont High...
1523
01:17:16,752 --> 01:17:18,276
combined an insightfuI script by
1524
01:17:18,554 --> 01:17:19,782
Cameron Crown
1525
01:17:20,022 --> 01:17:21,250
Are you really 19?
1526
01:17:21,456 --> 01:17:23,651
Yeah, Yeah I am, I'm really 19
1527
01:17:23,892 --> 01:17:25,792
With a cast of nubile newcomers...
1528
01:17:25,994 --> 01:17:29,054
among them Phoebe Cates and
Jennifer Jason Leigh
1529
01:17:29,765 --> 01:17:31,528
There are, like...
1530
01:17:31,834 --> 01:17:33,495
variables that I might not be good at
1531
01:17:33,735 --> 01:17:34,827
Like what variables?
1532
01:17:35,470 --> 01:17:37,233
Like, you know...
1533
01:17:37,472 --> 01:17:38,769
giving blow jobs
1534
01:17:39,041 --> 01:17:39,939
What's the big deaI?
1535
01:17:40,742 --> 01:17:41,902
Yo, check it out
1536
01:17:43,478 --> 01:17:44,877
Relax your throat muscles
1537
01:17:50,052 --> 01:17:50,916
Don't bite
1538
01:17:55,257 --> 01:17:56,246
Try it again
1539
01:17:58,493 --> 01:18:00,654
Good, push it slowing in and out
1540
01:18:02,531 --> 01:18:03,156
You got it
1541
01:18:07,603 --> 01:18:10,037
In 1983's Risky Business...
1542
01:18:10,272 --> 01:18:12,365
a new screen heartthrob was born
1543
01:18:12,574 --> 01:18:17,375
The moment Tom Cruise slid into frame
wearing little more that his BVDs
1544
01:18:19,214 --> 01:18:21,341
Tom Cruise was immensely likeable
in it
1545
01:18:21,583 --> 01:18:25,917
So that he could slide out doing his
musicaI number in his underpants and...
1546
01:18:26,154 --> 01:18:28,088
seem both sexy and adorable
1547
01:18:29,558 --> 01:18:32,721
Cruise's charm also powered another
sex-themed hit...
1548
01:18:32,961 --> 01:18:34,952
All the Right Moves in which male...
1549
01:18:35,197 --> 01:18:36,459
not female nudity...
1550
01:18:36,665 --> 01:18:38,826
became the most talked
about ingredient
1551
01:18:45,240 --> 01:18:46,332
I love you
1552
01:18:48,543 --> 01:18:50,101
I love you too, Lis
1553
01:18:53,715 --> 01:18:56,377
As teen sex films both good and bad...
1554
01:18:56,618 --> 01:18:57,983
prevailed at the box office...
1555
01:18:58,287 --> 01:18:59,811
a few filmmakers sought to bring...
1556
01:19:00,055 --> 01:19:03,354
a more complex form of sexuality
to the screen
1557
01:19:03,859 --> 01:19:06,828
Gay-themed dramas were not
new in Hollywood
1558
01:19:07,062 --> 01:19:09,622
But in contrast to the positive images
shown in...
1559
01:19:09,865 --> 01:19:10,832
The Boys in the Band...
1560
01:19:11,066 --> 01:19:14,524
homosexuaI characters were rarely
presented positively
1561
01:19:16,471 --> 01:19:18,029
1980's Cruising...
1562
01:19:18,273 --> 01:19:21,868
which depicted murders amid
a sadomasochistic gay culture...
1563
01:19:22,110 --> 01:19:25,204
was especially savaged by
critics and activists...
1564
01:19:25,547 --> 01:19:27,242
for its negative images
1565
01:19:27,449 --> 01:19:29,474
This is an outside look at...
1566
01:19:29,785 --> 01:19:36,714
a rather violent and sensationaI aspect
of that community and that lifestyle
1567
01:19:37,759 --> 01:19:39,158
In the wake of Cruising...
1568
01:19:39,394 --> 01:19:42,124
Gay-themed movies sought
a new respectability...
1569
01:19:42,331 --> 01:19:45,698
by emphasizing relationships over
sexuaI content
1570
01:19:46,368 --> 01:19:48,893
The 1982 dramas PersonaI Best and...
1571
01:19:49,104 --> 01:19:50,230
Making Love...
1572
01:19:50,472 --> 01:19:54,135
both featured mainstream box office
stars in a bold attempt...
1573
01:19:54,376 --> 01:19:57,368
to make same-sex love stories
commercially viable
1574
01:19:59,014 --> 01:20:00,538
Working on a lower budget...
1575
01:20:00,782 --> 01:20:03,546
director Donna Deitch crafted
Desert Hearts...
1576
01:20:03,752 --> 01:20:08,883
which explored a romantic relationship
between two women in 1950's America
1577
01:20:09,458 --> 01:20:10,322
Being gay...
1578
01:20:10,559 --> 01:20:12,720
I wanted to make a very sexy and...
1579
01:20:12,995 --> 01:20:15,862
positive and reaI lesbian love story
1580
01:20:16,064 --> 01:20:18,624
Prior to that time films
that had dealt with...
1581
01:20:19,167 --> 01:20:21,761
love relationships between two women
had ended in either...
1582
01:20:22,037 --> 01:20:23,095
a bisexuaI triangle...
1583
01:20:23,338 --> 01:20:24,032
or suicide
1584
01:20:25,507 --> 01:20:26,997
What do you think you're doing?
1585
01:20:27,676 --> 01:20:28,802
Waiting for you
1586
01:20:29,111 --> 01:20:29,702
There were people that said:
1587
01:20:30,012 --> 01:20:31,206
This is disgusting
1588
01:20:31,413 --> 01:20:32,573
They were really repelled by it
1589
01:20:32,814 --> 01:20:35,180
But not the majority of the people
by any means
1590
01:20:40,756 --> 01:20:43,088
But filmmakers gay and straight who...
1591
01:20:43,358 --> 01:20:45,417
dreamed of showing adult sexuality...
1592
01:20:45,660 --> 01:20:48,527
were dealt a horrific setback in 1980s...
1593
01:20:48,730 --> 01:20:51,893
by a mysterious new illness known as
AIDS
1594
01:20:53,502 --> 01:20:56,630
AIDS lethaI spread sent
a terrifying message:
1595
01:20:56,905 --> 01:20:58,236
Sex could kill
1596
01:20:58,640 --> 01:21:01,734
Conservatives and the religious right
seized on the epidemic...
1597
01:21:02,044 --> 01:21:03,671
as a sign of god's wrath...
1598
01:21:03,879 --> 01:21:06,609
at American and Hollywood's
licentiousness
1599
01:21:07,049 --> 01:21:10,450
Another result of its impact was
an even greater pullback...
1600
01:21:10,685 --> 01:21:13,415
from showing sex in mainstream films
1601
01:21:13,522 --> 01:21:15,683
In the '/Os, you had movies...
1602
01:21:15,924 --> 01:21:18,620
that were that captured
sexuaI confidence
1603
01:21:19,728 --> 01:21:21,320
There something I can do for you?
1604
01:21:21,563 --> 01:21:22,359
Well, like what?
1605
01:21:22,864 --> 01:21:23,888
Like, anything you want
1606
01:21:24,433 --> 01:21:25,229
Then what happened?
1607
01:21:25,467 --> 01:21:28,994
The decade of AIDS scares
and abstinence
1608
01:21:30,672 --> 01:21:34,438
The tragedy of AIDS was also echoed
in another movie genre
1609
01:21:34,676 --> 01:21:35,836
The slasher film...
1610
01:21:36,545 --> 01:21:40,538
in which adolescents met their makers
moments after having sex
1611
01:21:43,718 --> 01:21:45,310
By the end of the 1980s...
1612
01:21:45,554 --> 01:21:49,217
adult eroticism had all but disappeared
from American movie screens
1613
01:21:49,891 --> 01:21:51,984
Viewers looking for a bare breast...
1614
01:21:52,194 --> 01:21:56,096
or a naked torso were most likely
to find them in a movie starring...
1615
01:21:56,331 --> 01:21:57,730
Arnold Schwarzenegger...
1616
01:21:57,966 --> 01:22:02,630
or Sylvester Stallone as a new era of
testosterone driven action films...
1617
01:22:02,871 --> 01:22:04,463
commandeered the box office
1618
01:22:05,173 --> 01:22:07,198
Violence had replaced sex...
1619
01:22:07,576 --> 01:22:10,272
and sex had become more violent
1620
01:22:13,515 --> 01:22:14,982
And where's your wife?
1621
01:22:16,451 --> 01:22:20,581
My wife is in the country with her
parents visiting for the weekend
1622
01:22:20,989 --> 01:22:22,422
And you're here with a strange girI...
1623
01:22:22,657 --> 01:22:23,624
being a naughty boy
1624
01:22:23,859 --> 01:22:26,089
I don't think having dinner with anybody
is a crime
1625
01:22:27,362 --> 01:22:28,226
Not yet
1626
01:22:31,600 --> 01:22:33,033
In 198/...
1627
01:22:33,268 --> 01:22:36,601
the slasher genre's mix of sex and
punishing violence...
1628
01:22:36,872 --> 01:22:38,305
took a creative step up...
1629
01:22:38,540 --> 01:22:40,405
into the world of adult cinema...
1630
01:22:40,642 --> 01:22:43,440
with the box office blockbuster
FataI Attraction
1631
01:22:43,812 --> 01:22:45,780
Directed by Adrian Lyne...
1632
01:22:46,047 --> 01:22:48,072
FataI Attraction cast MichaeI Douglas
1633
01:22:48,316 --> 01:22:49,442
as a straying husband...
1634
01:22:49,684 --> 01:22:51,948
who's forced to face
the deadly consequences of...
1635
01:22:52,220 --> 01:22:54,552
an impulsive affair
with a business colleague...
1636
01:22:54,823 --> 01:22:56,381
played by Glenn Close
1637
01:22:56,625 --> 01:23:00,152
FataI Attraction was kind of
a Hitchcockian thriller...
1638
01:23:00,462 --> 01:23:04,660
with two very isolated scenes
of sexuality
1639
01:23:06,101 --> 01:23:07,466
Have you ever done it in an elevator?
1640
01:23:07,702 --> 01:23:08,464
Not recently
1641
01:23:08,703 --> 01:23:09,499
I bet you haven't
1642
01:23:09,738 --> 01:23:10,602
There was maybe a minute
1643
01:23:10,839 --> 01:23:12,500
Minute and a half in a two-hour movie
1644
01:23:12,774 --> 01:23:14,264
But that's what people remember
1645
01:23:16,645 --> 01:23:18,806
And I just sort of marveled...
1646
01:23:19,047 --> 01:23:21,038
at their bravery, at the balls they had
1647
01:23:21,283 --> 01:23:22,477
They just went for it
1648
01:23:32,961 --> 01:23:36,488
That's a huge leap of sort of
courage to take
1649
01:23:36,831 --> 01:23:37,991
Which when they...
1650
01:23:38,266 --> 01:23:39,324
when an actor does take that...
1651
01:23:39,868 --> 01:23:40,425
that leap
1652
01:23:40,669 --> 01:23:41,931
It's fabulous for a director, you know...
1653
01:23:42,170 --> 01:23:44,866
Because it means anything's possible
1654
01:23:45,106 --> 01:23:45,401
Go ahead
1655
01:23:45,707 --> 01:23:47,106
Hit me if you can't fuck me
1656
01:23:47,309 --> 01:23:48,003
Why don't you just hit me?
1657
01:23:48,243 --> 01:23:49,870
You're so sad you know that, Alex?
1658
01:23:50,078 --> 01:23:51,443
Lonely and very sad
1659
01:23:51,680 --> 01:23:53,238
Don't you ever pity me,
you smug bastard
1660
01:23:53,481 --> 01:23:55,449
I pity you, I pity you
1661
01:23:55,684 --> 01:23:56,651
I pity you because you're sick
1662
01:23:56,885 --> 01:24:00,252
Why? Because I won't allow you to treat
me like some slut...
1663
01:24:00,488 --> 01:24:03,116
you can just bang a couple of times
and throw in the garbage
1664
01:24:03,491 --> 01:24:05,322
In Films like FataI Attraction
1665
01:24:05,527 --> 01:24:08,724
Movie sex wasn't just an act of
erotic passion
1666
01:24:10,131 --> 01:24:13,726
It was also an overture to disaster
and death
1667
01:24:22,711 --> 01:24:26,340
An ancient tradition of linking sex and
violence in drama...
1668
01:24:26,581 --> 01:24:30,483
would reach its apex in the hands of
filmmakers like Adrian Lyne
1669
01:24:31,720 --> 01:24:35,053
and a controversiaI Dutch director
named PauI Verhoeven
1670
01:24:42,330 --> 01:24:45,322
Verhoeven was a Dutch filmmaker
who'd been successfuI...
1671
01:24:45,567 --> 01:24:50,231
in their takes on sexuality and
full of violence
1672
01:24:50,438 --> 01:24:53,305
And they made sex and violence seem...
1673
01:24:53,675 --> 01:24:55,506
very sophisticated together
1674
01:24:55,810 --> 01:24:59,678
In 1992 the intense and
provocative filmmaker...
1675
01:24:59,881 --> 01:25:03,544
brought his European sensibility
to the American sex thriller...
1676
01:25:04,719 --> 01:25:06,118
Basic Instinct
1677
01:25:06,521 --> 01:25:07,453
Once again
1678
01:25:07,656 --> 01:25:12,184
MichaeI Douglas found himself the
object of sexuaI manipulation on screen
1679
01:25:12,460 --> 01:25:16,396
This time by a bisexuaI author,
who may be a murderess
1680
01:25:16,631 --> 01:25:18,121
Played by Sharon Stone
1681
01:25:19,200 --> 01:25:20,861
Killing isn't like smoking
1682
01:25:22,437 --> 01:25:23,301
You can quit
1683
01:25:24,372 --> 01:25:28,433
My character Catherine is motivated by
power and a kind of...
1684
01:25:28,810 --> 01:25:31,040
miasmatic need to controI
1685
01:25:44,192 --> 01:25:46,990
The gender of the people she is with...
1686
01:25:47,228 --> 01:25:49,924
is not a sexuaI, loving choice
1687
01:25:50,165 --> 01:25:51,393
It's a power choice
1688
01:25:54,869 --> 01:25:56,166
There's only one theme there...
1689
01:25:56,438 --> 01:26:01,603
which is the use of sex to obtain power
and use that power whenever you can
1690
01:26:02,410 --> 01:26:03,741
Yes, it's harsh
1691
01:26:04,012 --> 01:26:05,741
It's cynic and it's...
1692
01:26:06,014 --> 01:26:07,208
a vision of life
1693
01:26:08,350 --> 01:26:10,910
Even Basic Instincts
most famous scene...
1694
01:26:11,119 --> 01:26:12,552
wasn't about sex
1695
01:26:12,787 --> 01:26:13,913
But about power...
1696
01:26:14,122 --> 01:26:17,353
as Verhoeven dared to show a part of
Sharon Stone's anatomy...
1697
01:26:17,592 --> 01:26:20,686
that few mainstream stars
had ever revealed
1698
01:26:20,995 --> 01:26:26,160
The uncrossing of her legs and flashing
MichaeI was a very good way
1699
01:26:26,401 --> 01:26:30,098
To demonstrate a who she was and to
take powerfuI controI of the entire room
1700
01:26:30,605 --> 01:26:33,073
But not even Sharon Stone
could dominate...
1701
01:26:33,375 --> 01:26:34,967
the motion picture ratings board...
1702
01:26:35,210 --> 01:26:39,909
which slapped Verhoeven's originaI edit
of the film with an NC-1/ rating
1703
01:26:41,015 --> 01:26:44,507
NC-1/ had recently replaced the
dreaded X...
1704
01:26:44,786 --> 01:26:46,913
in an effort to allow serious filmmakers...
1705
01:26:47,188 --> 01:26:48,985
to explore adult materiaI...
1706
01:26:49,257 --> 01:26:51,885
without the stigma of a rating
linked to porn
1707
01:26:52,127 --> 01:26:56,393
Hollywood had invented a rating system
that was psychotic
1708
01:26:57,298 --> 01:26:59,858
You could show violence
1709
01:27:00,101 --> 01:27:01,398
You couldn't show sex
1710
01:27:01,636 --> 01:27:03,331
And it was quite succinct
1711
01:27:03,571 --> 01:27:05,436
You could show someone
cutting off a breast
1712
01:27:05,640 --> 01:27:08,131
But you could not show a hand
touching a breast
1713
01:27:08,543 --> 01:27:12,240
But NC-1/ quickly became a box office
kiss of death...
1714
01:27:12,447 --> 01:27:14,278
after the failure of Henry and June
1715
01:27:14,516 --> 01:27:17,451
The first film branded
with the NC-1/ rating
1716
01:27:17,619 --> 01:27:18,517
They can calling it NC-1/
1717
01:27:18,787 --> 01:27:19,219
They can call it X
1718
01:27:19,521 --> 01:27:20,283
They can call it unrated
1719
01:27:20,588 --> 01:27:22,681
They can call it M for mature audiences...
1720
01:27:23,024 --> 01:27:23,752
only whatever they call it
1721
01:27:23,992 --> 01:27:26,017
That's going to scared too many
theater owners
1722
01:27:27,395 --> 01:27:28,384
Ironically...
1723
01:27:28,596 --> 01:27:32,157
the era of the X rating made
a comeback in 199/...
1724
01:27:32,367 --> 01:27:34,494
at least as movie subject matter
1725
01:27:34,869 --> 01:27:36,803
Boogie Nights was loosely based on...
1726
01:27:37,038 --> 01:27:39,131
the story of porn star John Holmes
1727
01:27:39,407 --> 01:27:43,207
The film showed characters on
an empty quest for sex and money
1728
01:27:43,411 --> 01:27:45,174
But never romantic love
1729
01:27:46,981 --> 01:27:51,918
Sex as a joyless dead end was also the
subject of director Ang Lee's drama
1730
01:27:52,153 --> 01:27:53,245
The Ice Storm
1731
01:27:53,521 --> 01:27:54,852
Set like Boogie Nights...
1732
01:27:55,056 --> 01:27:57,547
in the not so swinging 19/Os
1733
01:27:57,926 --> 01:27:58,620
Action
1734
01:27:59,694 --> 01:28:00,285
A key party?
1735
01:28:00,562 --> 01:28:02,052
You know it's a California thing
1736
01:28:02,330 --> 01:28:04,594
The men put their car keys in a bowI...
1737
01:28:04,933 --> 01:28:07,868
and at the end of the evening
the women lineup and fish them out...
1738
01:28:08,069 --> 01:28:10,060
and whoever's they got they
go home with
1739
01:28:10,438 --> 01:28:11,496
We try to be hip
1740
01:28:11,706 --> 01:28:13,173
We try to be open-minded
1741
01:28:13,608 --> 01:28:15,838
But we're not quite equipped to that
1742
01:28:16,110 --> 01:28:18,578
There's a limitation on how much you
want to liberate it
1743
01:28:18,780 --> 01:28:22,341
There's a certain nature that sort of
conserve and hold you back
1744
01:28:23,551 --> 01:28:24,518
Would you care to play
1745
01:28:25,587 --> 01:28:26,679
New this year
1746
01:28:28,857 --> 01:28:30,518
It's strictly volunteer, of course
1747
01:28:33,461 --> 01:28:37,397
Sex was also a deadly game in the
disturbing fact-based drama
1748
01:28:37,632 --> 01:28:38,894
Boys Don't Cry
1749
01:28:39,467 --> 01:28:41,731
Hilary Swank earned
an academy award...
1750
01:28:41,970 --> 01:28:43,335
playing Brandon Teena...
1751
01:28:43,538 --> 01:28:48,737
a sexually confused female who poses
and seduces as a man
1752
01:28:49,310 --> 01:28:51,369
I didn't really think of making love
as a man
1753
01:28:51,679 --> 01:28:55,080
I was trying to think of making love
from a souI to a souI
1754
01:28:55,283 --> 01:28:57,547
You know, from a human being
1755
01:29:01,789 --> 01:29:03,723
I was just so emotionally raw
1756
01:29:04,025 --> 01:29:05,856
And so in a lot of the scenes...
1757
01:29:06,060 --> 01:29:08,085
I had to disconnect that this happened
to somebody
1758
01:29:08,530 --> 01:29:09,326
You fucking pervert
1759
01:29:09,564 --> 01:29:10,997
Are you a girI are you not?
1760
01:29:11,733 --> 01:29:13,667
Are you a girI are you not?
1761
01:29:13,902 --> 01:29:15,699
Ultimately, I had to really disconnect
and say:
1762
01:29:15,904 --> 01:29:17,531
This is a movie this is a scene
1763
01:29:17,739 --> 01:29:19,331
Or I would have never been able to
make it through it
1764
01:29:20,108 --> 01:29:24,101
What were you like before all this?
1765
01:29:27,015 --> 01:29:29,643
Were you like me, like a girI-girI?
1766
01:29:33,054 --> 01:29:37,923
Yeah, like a long time ago
1767
01:29:40,828 --> 01:29:43,524
But after a grim decade of
dangerous sex
1768
01:29:43,765 --> 01:29:46,529
A spirit of change was once again
in the air
1769
01:29:47,268 --> 01:29:49,828
Hollywood was ready to
let its hair down
1770
01:29:50,038 --> 01:29:53,769
As filmmakers put celebration
back into sex
1771
01:30:01,115 --> 01:30:02,742
By the late 1990s...
1772
01:30:02,984 --> 01:30:05,885
sexuaI attitudes across America were
sparking yet...
1773
01:30:06,120 --> 01:30:08,884
another erotic revolution
on movie screens
1774
01:30:09,424 --> 01:30:12,860
Science was making strides in the war
against AIDS
1775
01:30:13,094 --> 01:30:14,026
And in the media...
1776
01:30:14,262 --> 01:30:18,392
revelations about president Clinton's
affair with an amorous intern...
1777
01:30:18,633 --> 01:30:21,431
put R-rated sex talk on the nightly news
1778
01:30:21,936 --> 01:30:26,236
I did not have sexuaI relations
with that woman
1779
01:30:26,741 --> 01:30:29,301
Twenty-something males were now
looking back to...
1780
01:30:29,544 --> 01:30:32,707
the Playboy culture of the 60s and /Os
1781
01:30:32,947 --> 01:30:37,407
Suddenly everything from the rat pack
to hef himself were hip again
1782
01:30:37,785 --> 01:30:39,776
And so was sex
1783
01:30:39,988 --> 01:30:43,048
The magazine and Playboy and
the bunny symboI...
1784
01:30:43,291 --> 01:30:44,986
are hotter now than ever before
1785
01:30:45,293 --> 01:30:48,057
I think a part of it is the fact that...
1786
01:30:48,329 --> 01:30:53,631
a new generation grew up
in the shadow of the moraI majority...
1787
01:30:53,868 --> 01:30:54,994
politicaI correctness
1788
01:30:55,236 --> 01:30:57,602
Even in the age of Viagra and
the condom...
1789
01:30:57,839 --> 01:31:00,672
sex could once again be fun
1790
01:31:02,577 --> 01:31:05,011
Oh, is he looking at you? Was he?
1791
01:31:05,246 --> 01:31:08,340
Oh, no, I wasn't
1792
01:31:08,549 --> 01:31:09,015
Mom wait
1793
01:31:09,250 --> 01:31:11,912
I wasn't, shit!
1794
01:31:12,420 --> 01:31:14,217
Cover yourself, cover yourself
1795
01:31:16,124 --> 01:31:20,527
In 1998, the PC police were finally
busted by directors...
1796
01:31:20,762 --> 01:31:24,027
Peter and Bobby Farrelly in the
outrageous sex comedy
1797
01:31:24,232 --> 01:31:25,824
There's Something About Mary
1798
01:31:29,103 --> 01:31:30,900
We thought it was all too much What,
are you kidding me?
1799
01:31:31,172 --> 01:31:32,298
I would come up from dailies every day
1800
01:31:32,607 --> 01:31:34,268
You can't do that, they can't do that
1801
01:31:34,542 --> 01:31:35,304
no way...
1802
01:31:35,576 --> 01:31:38,067
We're drawing the line, absolutely not
1803
01:31:38,312 --> 01:31:39,745
No possible way...
1804
01:31:39,981 --> 01:31:41,039
is that going out
1805
01:31:41,282 --> 01:31:44,308
And then you play it in the theater and
they're laughing so hard
1806
01:31:45,586 --> 01:31:46,211
Hey, hello
1807
01:31:46,521 --> 01:31:47,112
Hey, hi
1808
01:31:47,388 --> 01:31:47,945
How you doing?
1809
01:31:48,289 --> 01:31:48,721
Good how are you?
1810
01:31:48,956 --> 01:31:49,684
Good
1811
01:31:49,957 --> 01:31:50,355
Good
1812
01:31:50,625 --> 01:31:52,820
You are looking very beautifuI
1813
01:31:53,261 --> 01:31:56,526
Thank you What is that
1814
01:32:00,001 --> 01:32:01,298
On your ear?
1815
01:32:02,170 --> 01:32:03,137
Ear?
1816
01:32:03,371 --> 01:32:06,397
No, your left ear, is that?
1817
01:32:09,277 --> 01:32:10,539
Is that hair geI?
1818
01:32:13,281 --> 01:32:13,906
Yeah
1819
01:32:14,482 --> 01:32:15,449
Great, I could use some
1820
01:32:15,683 --> 01:32:17,844
No, No, No, you don't have to
1821
01:32:18,286 --> 01:32:19,310
I just ran out
1822
01:32:21,889 --> 01:32:27,486
Movies are allowed to be tremendously
scandalous and outrageously vulgar...
1823
01:32:27,762 --> 01:32:30,253
on the subject of sex as long as
they're funny
1824
01:32:30,498 --> 01:32:32,523
I mean there are things in
Something About Mary...
1825
01:32:32,834 --> 01:32:33,960
American Pie
1826
01:32:34,202 --> 01:32:38,104
And so on you would never be able to
do that in a movie that is dramatic
1827
01:32:38,406 --> 01:32:39,168
Shame on me
1828
01:32:39,474 --> 01:32:40,566
I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry
1829
01:32:40,842 --> 01:32:42,036
You know, I'm just going to go
1830
01:32:42,310 --> 01:32:46,007
Well, you have seen me
1831
01:32:47,248 --> 01:32:48,977
Now it's my turn to see you
1832
01:32:51,352 --> 01:32:52,216
Strip
1833
01:32:54,355 --> 01:32:55,185
Strip?
1834
01:32:55,389 --> 01:32:56,048
Slowly
1835
01:32:57,592 --> 01:33:01,926
American Pie offered one of the
hottest recipes of the late 1990s
1836
01:33:02,130 --> 01:33:04,724
An ensemble cast of sexy, new stars
1837
01:33:05,199 --> 01:33:07,633
Movie erotica was getting younger
and younger...
1838
01:33:07,869 --> 01:33:09,996
in hit film like Wild Things...
1839
01:33:10,238 --> 01:33:11,500
CrueI Intentions
1840
01:33:11,839 --> 01:33:14,399
and 2002's Swimfan
1841
01:33:14,976 --> 01:33:16,341
Ben
1842
01:33:17,445 --> 01:33:18,912
Tell me you love me
1843
01:33:21,082 --> 01:33:22,140
What?
1844
01:33:22,350 --> 01:33:23,681
You don't have to mean it
1845
01:33:23,951 --> 01:33:26,146
Just say it for me
1846
01:33:31,292 --> 01:33:32,452
I love you
1847
01:33:34,695 --> 01:33:38,563
Adult sexuality also made a winning
return to the big screen...
1848
01:33:38,766 --> 01:33:40,097
with the hit sleeper-comedy
1849
01:33:40,334 --> 01:33:41,528
Kissing Jessica Stein
1850
01:33:43,104 --> 01:33:44,594
Is this with tongue?
1851
01:33:45,540 --> 01:33:47,633
I think we should just play it by ear
1852
01:33:47,842 --> 01:33:49,070
Just see how it goes
1853
01:33:49,310 --> 01:33:49,901
Okay
1854
01:33:50,178 --> 01:33:50,735
Okay
1855
01:33:50,978 --> 01:33:52,036
Okay, great
1856
01:33:52,847 --> 01:33:56,010
It was a sign of the times that the only
shocking thing about...
1857
01:33:56,250 --> 01:33:58,445
this romantic story
with a lesbian theme...
1858
01:33:58,686 --> 01:34:01,655
was that no one across America
seemed shocked
1859
01:34:02,390 --> 01:34:04,551
People are still, for whatever reason...
1860
01:34:04,792 --> 01:34:07,226
more willing to accept two women
together...
1861
01:34:07,461 --> 01:34:09,053
than two men together
1862
01:34:09,263 --> 01:34:11,959
There are an awfuI lot of women who've
had kissing scenes in the movies
1863
01:34:12,200 --> 01:34:15,192
Often straight women who are just kind
of dabbling in lesbianism
1864
01:34:16,037 --> 01:34:18,505
So I figure if we keep going like this
1865
01:34:18,706 --> 01:34:21,106
We'll get there in like two weeks or so
1866
01:34:21,475 --> 01:34:24,638
Yeah, sure, there's no reaI rush
1867
01:34:24,946 --> 01:34:25,537
Are you sure?
1868
01:34:25,947 --> 01:34:26,641
Yeah, sure there's no reaI rush
1869
01:34:26,914 --> 01:34:27,471
But you really...
1870
01:34:27,715 --> 01:34:28,113
Not at all
1871
01:34:28,349 --> 01:34:28,747
How about 10 days?
1872
01:34:28,816 --> 01:34:29,612
10 days is better
1873
01:34:30,618 --> 01:34:34,145
Home video and DVD have
also allowed moviemakers...
1874
01:34:34,388 --> 01:34:35,980
to shed their inhibitions
1875
01:34:36,190 --> 01:34:39,853
At least the ones imposed on them by
the motion picture ratings board
1876
01:34:40,328 --> 01:34:41,556
It's good marking
1877
01:34:42,029 --> 01:34:44,964
I think it's a way of saying that you see
this in the theater
1878
01:34:45,233 --> 01:34:47,531
But we'll give you more on DVD
1879
01:34:47,768 --> 01:34:50,066
And if you really love the movie then
you're going to want to check it out
1880
01:34:50,404 --> 01:34:52,463
It's not a space shuttle launch, it's sex
1881
01:34:52,707 --> 01:34:55,369
I think the moraI crusaders have lost
1882
01:34:55,576 --> 01:34:56,668
Sex has won
1883
01:34:56,911 --> 01:34:59,505
Sex has become visible, acceptable...
1884
01:34:59,747 --> 01:35:01,442
easily available be it
1885
01:35:01,682 --> 01:35:04,014
on the internet, TV, videos that you rent
1886
01:35:04,252 --> 01:35:06,447
And it will never go back in the box
1887
01:35:06,687 --> 01:35:07,984
Pandora's box got opened...
1888
01:35:08,222 --> 01:35:10,122
and most Americans applaud...
1889
01:35:10,458 --> 01:35:13,859
the richness of sexuaI imagery
in the world
1890
01:35:14,095 --> 01:35:15,653
You were wonderfuI tonight
1891
01:35:16,063 --> 01:35:17,428
I'm always wonderfuI at night
1892
01:35:28,276 --> 01:35:33,373
220 million American will have sex
every week, every two weeks
1893
01:35:33,681 --> 01:35:34,511
Whatever it is
1894
01:35:34,916 --> 01:35:37,043
It sells because it's naturaI
1895
01:35:37,285 --> 01:35:38,479
It sells because it's us
1896
01:35:38,719 --> 01:35:40,152
It sells because it's about us
1897
01:35:40,421 --> 01:35:41,388
It's about life
1898
01:35:41,656 --> 01:35:42,748
I do feeI aroused
1899
01:35:42,990 --> 01:35:43,581
I can't deny that
1900
01:35:43,858 --> 01:35:45,416
It was and is...
1901
01:35:45,826 --> 01:35:48,693
America's first from of sex education
1902
01:35:49,597 --> 01:35:50,063
You got it
1903
01:35:50,298 --> 01:35:52,425
You don't learn how to kiss
form your parents
1904
01:35:52,667 --> 01:35:55,864
You don't learn how to embrace from
your Sunday schooI teacher
1905
01:35:56,103 --> 01:35:57,035
Want to make love to me?
1906
01:35:57,238 --> 01:35:58,136
Oh, yes, yes
1907
01:35:58,372 --> 01:36:00,670
You leave your life outside the theater
1908
01:36:00,908 --> 01:36:03,035
Go into that dark room and it draws you...
1909
01:36:03,277 --> 01:36:04,710
closer to the person on screen
1910
01:36:04,912 --> 01:36:05,776
Don't stop
1911
01:36:06,013 --> 01:36:08,413
It wraps around you and
creates a universe...
1912
01:36:08,683 --> 01:36:10,275
where love is going to happen
1913
01:36:11,953 --> 01:36:14,319
My dreams from the very beginning
came from...
1914
01:36:14,555 --> 01:36:15,715
Hollywood and the movies
1915
01:36:15,957 --> 01:36:18,482
And young women are very susceptible
to those images
1916
01:36:18,759 --> 01:36:19,384
I'll say
1917
01:36:19,627 --> 01:36:20,093
Hi
1918
01:36:20,361 --> 01:36:22,124
Sex is sticky, it's messy
1919
01:36:22,396 --> 01:36:24,023
It's this, it's that, He had bad breath
1920
01:36:24,298 --> 01:36:26,391
You know it's never like it is in the movies
1921
01:36:27,001 --> 01:36:28,127
But we can dream
1922
01:36:28,436 --> 01:36:29,596
You know, we can dream
148057
