[Man Narrating]
In a changing world...
5
00:01:29,576 --> 00:01:31,943
one thing remains constant.
6
00:01:32,045 --> 00:01:36,039
But sometimes the manner
in which it is presented differs...
7
00:01:37,084 --> 00:01:39,485
and the treatment of sex
on the screen...
8
00:01:39,586 --> 00:01:44,524
has been a reflection of the customs,
manners and morals of the times.
9
00:01:47,060 --> 00:01:49,052
The story of The Love Goddesses...
10
00:01:49,163 --> 00:01:53,066
is itself a history
of sex in the movies.
11
00:01:53,167 --> 00:01:57,901
We begin with America still in the shadow
of the Victorian era...
12
00:01:58,005 --> 00:02:01,032
and a movie heroine bound
by the same conventions...
13
00:02:01,141 --> 00:02:03,110
as any young lady of society.
14
00:02:05,145 --> 00:02:09,446
In a film with the delightful title
True Heart Susie...
15
00:02:09,550 --> 00:02:11,849
Lillian Gish expressed
this Victorian innocence -
16
00:02:11,952 --> 00:02:15,753
a heroine who did not smoke,
would not drink...
17
00:02:15,856 --> 00:02:19,258
and couldn't even admit
she had ever heard about sex.
18
00:02:21,028 --> 00:02:24,863
But someone had to do
what a good girl could not...
19
00:02:24,965 --> 00:02:27,161
and the vamp was created.
20
00:02:30,337 --> 00:02:31,999
She could smoke...
21
00:02:32,105 --> 00:02:34,233
she could drink...
22
00:02:34,341 --> 00:02:36,833
and she had heard about sex.
23
00:02:40,447 --> 00:02:43,975
The word "vamp"
came from a poem by Kipling-
24
00:02:44,084 --> 00:02:46,212
"A Fool There Was."
25
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:51,384
In it, he portrayed the predatory,
bloodsucking vampire as a woman...
26
00:02:52,526 --> 00:02:55,360
and the vamp of them all
was Theda Bara...
27
00:02:55,462 --> 00:02:58,899
the first of a long line of champions...
28
00:02:58,999 --> 00:03:00,558
in the battle of the sexes.
29
00:03:01,969 --> 00:03:05,098
Invariably, the vamp's costumes
were distinctive...
30
00:03:05,205 --> 00:03:11,145
suggesting creatures in whose grasp,
or web, the victim was rendered helpless.
31
00:03:15,816 --> 00:03:20,754
Actually, sex in the movies had begun
long before there were stars or plots...
32
00:03:20,854 --> 00:03:23,983
and the peep-show nature
of the nickelodeon machines...
33
00:03:24,091 --> 00:03:27,084
added to the forbidden fruit flavor.
34
00:03:30,197 --> 00:03:32,428
The sensational Little Egypt.
35
00:03:33,834 --> 00:03:37,635
To us, perhaps, Little Egypt
may not look so sexy...
36
00:03:37,738 --> 00:03:40,071
but in 1898...
37
00:03:40,173 --> 00:03:42,904
Mark Twain had a heart attack
watching her.
38
00:03:45,779 --> 00:03:49,875
In 1916, David Wark Griffith...
39
00:03:49,983 --> 00:03:52,452
master of the motion picture
during its formative years...
40
00:03:52,553 --> 00:03:56,854
produced Intolerance,
one of the great spectacles of all time.
41
00:03:58,959 --> 00:04:02,589
Mr. Griffith's heroines
were as pure as any...
42
00:04:02,696 --> 00:04:05,860
but he managed to get away with
a remarkable amount of nudity...
43
00:04:05,966 --> 00:04:08,435
by using a number of titles...
44
00:04:08,535 --> 00:04:13,303
telling just what particular historical rites
the girls were performing...
45
00:04:13,407 --> 00:04:18,710
and in which learned volumes
the audience could further research the subject.
46
00:04:22,549 --> 00:04:27,385
In 1916, the public paid
the astronomical price of two dollars...
47
00:04:27,487 --> 00:04:29,456
to see Intolerance.
48
00:04:30,691 --> 00:04:34,719
The other director who was to dominate
the American screen for decades...
49
00:04:34,828 --> 00:04:37,491
was Cecil B. DeMille.
50
00:04:38,999 --> 00:04:43,164
DeMille made this picture,
The Cheat, in 1915.
51
00:04:43,270 --> 00:04:48,402
It starred the screen's first
Oriental villain, Sessue Hayakawa...
52
00:04:48,508 --> 00:04:51,672
who plays an enormously wealthy
Burmese merchant...
53
00:04:51,778 --> 00:04:53,770
a collector of ivory.
54
00:05:00,887 --> 00:05:03,379
The heroine is Miss Fannie Ward.
55
00:05:04,424 --> 00:05:07,485
Miss Ward is a lady
in desperate need of money...
56
00:05:07,594 --> 00:05:11,463
and, unwisely, she has borrowed
from Mr. Hayakawa.
57
00:05:26,113 --> 00:05:29,743
When sex was encountered
by a Victorian heroine...
58
00:05:29,850 --> 00:05:32,820
it was always the villain
who threatened her.
59
00:05:42,229 --> 00:05:45,131
The use of violence
in conjunction with sex...
60
00:05:45,232 --> 00:05:47,201
was rare in 19 15.
61
00:05:50,137 --> 00:05:54,700
But this theme is to appear again and again
throughout the history of the movies...
62
00:05:54,808 --> 00:05:57,607
for motion picture audiences
all over the world...
63
00:05:57,711 --> 00:06:02,376
were to get sexual excitement
out of watching violence on the screen.
64
00:06:08,155 --> 00:06:13,059
Another major recurring theme
in the history of sex is comedy...
65
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:17,291
for audiences often choose to laugh
at a satire of the same violence...
66
00:06:17,397 --> 00:06:19,366
that excites them.
67
00:06:21,935 --> 00:06:24,837
This film, an early contemporary
of the Keystone Kops...
68
00:06:24,938 --> 00:06:28,875
is Bertha, the Buttonhole-Maker.
69
00:06:46,393 --> 00:06:49,386
World War I
shattered the Victorian age.
70
00:06:49,496 --> 00:06:53,058
Overnight,
women's role in society changed.
71
00:06:53,166 --> 00:06:56,534
They got the vote,
their clothing changed...
72
00:06:56,636 --> 00:06:58,366
their point of view changed.
73
00:06:58,472 --> 00:07:02,136
The result was an amazingly different
American woman.
74
00:07:03,243 --> 00:07:05,940
But it was not until two years
after the war...
75
00:07:06,046 --> 00:07:08,811
that the movies
completely reflected this change.
76
00:07:09,983 --> 00:07:12,680
The catalyst was Valentino.
77
00:07:14,221 --> 00:07:17,419
The picture -The Sheik.
78
00:07:22,996 --> 00:07:26,023
It was a book every teenage girl
in America was reading...
79
00:07:26,133 --> 00:07:28,034
behind closed doors...
80
00:07:28,135 --> 00:07:31,230
each secretly sharing
the heroine's fascination...
81
00:07:31,338 --> 00:07:33,307
with the handsome hero.
82
00:07:34,407 --> 00:07:36,774
And that was the difference.
83
00:07:36,877 --> 00:07:40,279
The man who had kidnapped our heroine
was not the villain...
84
00:07:40,380 --> 00:07:42,679
but, for the first time, the hero.
85
00:07:43,850 --> 00:07:46,649
And Valentino's answer
to Agnes Ayres's question...
86
00:07:46,753 --> 00:07:48,745
"Why have you brought me here?"
87
00:07:48,855 --> 00:07:51,825
would change
the American love goddess.
88
00:07:59,766 --> 00:08:03,567
For now, for the first time,the heroine did know.
89
00:08:04,638 --> 00:08:07,301
The result was to be Clara Bow...
90
00:08:07,407 --> 00:08:09,774
the culmination
of the flapper heroine -
91
00:08:09,876 --> 00:08:13,313
a sexy little girl, a tease.
92
00:08:58,992 --> 00:09:01,985
Miss Bow's most famous picture was It.
93
00:09:02,095 --> 00:09:04,860
She plays a young girl
working in a department store...
94
00:09:04,965 --> 00:09:08,299
who has a chance to go out
with her handsome boss.
95
00:09:15,542 --> 00:09:19,309
At a time when the word "sex"
was still considered racy...
96
00:09:19,412 --> 00:09:23,679
the word "it" was accepted
as a substitute for sex appeal.
97
00:09:23,783 --> 00:09:25,911
"It" became a byword of the '20s...
98
00:09:26,019 --> 00:09:29,456
and Miss Bow, forever afterward,
the "It Girl."
99
00:09:42,702 --> 00:09:45,695
Clara Bow was flaming youth
in rebellion.
100
00:09:45,805 --> 00:09:50,505
She paraded a new worldly wisdom
that sex somehow meant a good time.
101
00:09:57,083 --> 00:09:59,575
However, don't be misled.
102
00:09:59,686 --> 00:10:04,090
Miss Bow was but a first cousin
to True Heart Susie.
103
00:10:04,190 --> 00:10:06,091
She too is a good girl.
104
00:10:06,192 --> 00:10:08,093
When they come home at night...
105
00:10:08,194 --> 00:10:12,632
although the boss is handsome, eligible,
and they are thoroughly in love -
106
00:10:16,269 --> 00:10:20,969
There are only a few years between
the end of World War I and Clara Bow...
107
00:10:21,074 --> 00:10:24,044
and yet what a wealth
of sexual and moral changes...
108
00:10:24,144 --> 00:10:26,045
were compressed into those years.
109
00:10:27,147 --> 00:10:29,981
The vamp was to disappear.
110
00:10:30,083 --> 00:10:32,746
Nita Naldi in Blood and Sand...
111
00:10:32,852 --> 00:10:36,016
played one of the last
of the great vamp roles.
112
00:10:36,122 --> 00:10:39,024
For now that the heroine
had become aware of sex...
113
00:10:39,125 --> 00:10:41,151
the vamp was no longer needed...
114
00:10:41,261 --> 00:10:44,595
and shortly,
though still in magnificent style...
115
00:10:44,698 --> 00:10:46,667
was to make her exit.
116
00:10:49,202 --> 00:10:52,434
More and more,
European attitudes to sex...
117
00:10:52,539 --> 00:10:55,304
were reaching and reshaping America.
118
00:10:55,408 --> 00:10:57,434
In a small American town...
119
00:10:57,544 --> 00:11:02,710
a crusading district attorney
zealously guards the public's morality.
120
00:11:02,816 --> 00:11:06,548
To him, any woman
smoking a cigarette is sinful.
121
00:11:22,802 --> 00:11:25,670
The film is Woman of the World...
122
00:11:25,772 --> 00:11:28,241
and this is the Polish star
Pola Negri...
123
00:11:28,341 --> 00:11:30,867
playing a countess
who has come to America -
124
00:11:30,977 --> 00:11:34,243
a woman who knows
about life and love...
125
00:11:34,347 --> 00:11:36,316
and is not afraid of either.
126
00:11:40,787 --> 00:11:44,053
But she is hounded
by the puritans of the town...
127
00:11:44,157 --> 00:11:47,423
until finally, unable to stand
the hypocrisy any longer...
128
00:11:47,527 --> 00:11:50,258
she defends herself.
129
00:12:00,540 --> 00:12:06,446
What Miss Negri does not know is that
she has already changed the town.
130
00:12:06,546 --> 00:12:09,914
Of course, in reality
it was America that was changing...
131
00:12:10,016 --> 00:12:13,680
and Miss Negri
but a reflection of that change.
132
00:12:22,495 --> 00:12:24,464
The year is 1925.
133
00:12:25,498 --> 00:12:27,626
The '20s have started to roar.
134
00:12:27,734 --> 00:12:30,932
Inhibitions were cast aside.
135
00:12:32,572 --> 00:12:35,542
The demand was for something unusual...
136
00:12:36,342 --> 00:12:39,039
something exotic...
137
00:12:39,145 --> 00:12:43,082
something like the heroineof Sorrows of Satan...
138
00:12:43,983 --> 00:12:46,282
a legend of Faust and the devil.
139
00:13:00,333 --> 00:13:02,928
Faust is played by Ricardo Cortez...
140
00:13:03,036 --> 00:13:06,029
and Satan by Adolphe Menjou.
141
00:13:06,139 --> 00:13:11,442
The devil offers Faust the opportunity of getting
whatever he desires in the world-
142
00:13:11,544 --> 00:13:14,446
wealth, power, prestige...
143
00:13:14,547 --> 00:13:16,516
and even a Marguerite.
144
00:13:31,931 --> 00:13:33,832
This is Lya De Putti...
145
00:13:33,933 --> 00:13:39,634
a Marguerite who is just a little different
from the Marguerites we have known.
146
00:13:52,652 --> 00:13:55,816
Faust is smitten
and gets his Marguerite...
147
00:13:55,922 --> 00:13:59,586
but her ambitions
reach far beyond Faust.
148
00:14:08,601 --> 00:14:10,502
D. W. Griffith...
149
00:14:10,603 --> 00:14:14,096
had his own personal view
of the battle of the sexes.
150
00:14:14,207 --> 00:14:17,735
He had fought it many times
and lost.
151
00:14:17,844 --> 00:14:19,813
By matching Marguerite
against the devil...
152
00:14:19,913 --> 00:14:22,473
he evened up the score.
153
00:14:22,582 --> 00:14:26,781
It was the only sure way Griffith knew
of having the woman lose.
154
00:14:36,996 --> 00:14:38,897
The change that had taken place...
155
00:14:38,998 --> 00:14:41,695
can be seen by comparing
Miss Gloria Swanson -
156
00:14:41,801 --> 00:14:45,101
just about the period of World War I -
157
00:14:49,275 --> 00:14:53,713
with Miss Gloria Swanson
eight years after the war.
158
00:14:53,813 --> 00:14:57,716
The same Miss Swanson,
but quite a different love goddess.
159
00:15:02,222 --> 00:15:05,090
The scene is from
The Loves of Sunya...
160
00:15:05,191 --> 00:15:07,524
a Swanson production of 1926.
161
00:15:24,344 --> 00:15:27,940
Cecil B. DeMille
compared the excesses of the '20s...
162
00:15:28,047 --> 00:15:29,948
with the orgies of ancient Rome...
163
00:15:30,049 --> 00:15:32,644
as the subject of his film
Manslaughter.
164
00:15:36,923 --> 00:15:42,226
He solemnly warned of the consequences
of this generation's behavior.
165
00:15:45,565 --> 00:15:47,830
Notice the two women on the right.
166
00:15:47,934 --> 00:15:51,336
But moralist or not,
DeMille was a showman...
167
00:15:51,437 --> 00:15:56,501
and never one to keep an audience in the dark
about the evils he was lamenting.
168
00:15:58,778 --> 00:16:02,374
He introduced the bathtub scene to movies
with Gloria Swanson...
169
00:16:02,482 --> 00:16:04,508
in Male and Female...
170
00:16:04,617 --> 00:16:09,317
and the nude bathing scene
became a trademark of the '20s.
171
00:16:13,626 --> 00:16:15,595
Clara Bow.
172
00:16:15,695 --> 00:16:19,530
Every heroine
very much in her own style.

174

In his epic of the French Revolution,
Orphans of the Storm...
175
00:16:38,651 --> 00:16:42,247
D. W. Griffith
filled the bathtub with wine...
176
00:16:43,423 --> 00:16:46,791
as well as some left over young ladiesfrom Intolerance.
177
00:16:52,098 --> 00:16:56,058
Wine for Griffith;
milk for DeMille.
178
00:16:56,169 --> 00:16:59,662
The most famous movie bath of them all
was to be Claudette Colbert's...
179
00:16:59,772 --> 00:17:01,741
in The Sign of the Cross.
180
00:17:22,328 --> 00:17:24,229
Even in the late '20s...
181
00:17:24,330 --> 00:17:27,789
standards in Europe continued to be
different from those in the United States...
182
00:17:27,900 --> 00:17:30,597
with its basically puritan background.
183
00:17:33,873 --> 00:17:36,399
This is Fritz Lang's Spies...
184
00:17:36,509 --> 00:17:39,001
produced in Germany in 1927.
185
00:17:42,382 --> 00:17:47,013
These charming ladies appearedin the American film Ben-Hur...
186
00:17:47,120 --> 00:17:51,854
but an export version
that was never shown in the United States.
187
00:17:54,026 --> 00:17:57,394
The same scene
was even shot two different ways.
188
00:17:57,497 --> 00:18:00,467
This is from the Faust legend
you have just seen.
189

In Europe itself...
192
00:18:11,411 --> 00:18:13,380
they were going a little further...
193
00:18:19,685 --> 00:18:22,052

194

and Small Town Sinner.
195
00:18:25,992 --> 00:18:29,087
And this is from Abel Gance's
End of the World.
196
00:18:29,195 --> 00:18:33,530
European films differed not only
in the extent of nudity they permitted...
197
00:18:33,633 --> 00:18:36,626
but in their portrayal
of human behavior.
198
00:18:36,736 --> 00:18:41,470
In Diary of a Lost Girl,
made in Germany in 1929...
199
00:18:41,574 --> 00:18:44,408
a young girl with no money
and no place to turn...
200

goes to the address
of the only friend she has.
201
00:18:47,413 --> 00:18:51,908
Unknown to her,
it is a bordello.
202
00:18:56,622 --> 00:19:00,684
Its madam could have played Grandma
in any American film.
203
00:19:01,761 --> 00:19:06,699
But no American-made film
could or would have presented a brothel...
204
00:19:06,799 --> 00:19:09,291
in such a sympathetic manner.
205
00:19:20,980 --> 00:19:22,881
The girl is Louise Brooks...
206
00:19:22,982 --> 00:19:26,475
a young American actress who made
her most famous pictures in Europe.
207
00:19:26,586 --> 00:19:31,684
And the question is,
will she accept the bordello or not?
208
00:20:00,386 --> 00:20:05,086
One European film, made at the end of this period,
caused a sensation in the United States.
209
00:20:05,191 --> 00:20:10,494
It was Ecstasy, famed forits numerous encounters with the censors.
210

Hedy Lamarr.
212
00:20:32,852 --> 00:20:37,256
Afterwards, Miss Lamarr married
industrialist Fritz Mandl.
213
00:20:37,356 --> 00:20:43,091
He spent a fortune attempting to buy up and destroyall the prints of Ecstasy, but he failed.
214

Even Benito Mussolini
had a personal print...

and would not surrender it.
216
00:21:08,754 --> 00:21:13,124

01:08:26,823 --> 01:08:28,815
- All right. Let's go. Look out!
- [Screams]
853
01:08:30,927 --> 01:08:35,023
[Narrator]As the '60s loomed,
history continued to repeat itself.
854
01:08:35,131 --> 01:08:39,466
Room at the Top marked the beginningof a new period of frankness about sex.
855
01:08:39,717 --> 01:08:41,765
It's not that I don't want to.
856
01:08:42,100 --> 01:08:43,772
It's just...
857
01:08:43,873 --> 01:08:46,433
I suppose I'm scared.
858
01:08:46,670 --> 01:08:50,708
I do love you, Joe. I do.
I'd do anything for you, Joe. Anything.
859
01:08:54,517 --> 01:08:57,487
Except what any girl will do
for the man she loves.
860
01:08:59,088 --> 01:09:02,718
Joe, how much do you love me?
861
01:09:02,826 --> 01:09:05,523
Very much.
862
01:09:05,628 --> 01:09:07,756
About a million pounds' worth.
863
01:09:11,501 --> 01:09:13,936
Joe, be gentle with me.
864
01:09:34,023 --> 01:09:36,959
Come on, Susan.
I think we better be going now.
865
01:09:38,572 --> 01:09:40,606
I don't want to go.
866
01:09:41,215 --> 01:09:43,292
I don't ever want to go.
867
01:09:45,935 --> 01:09:47,927
Isn't it super, Joe?
868
01:09:48,200 --> 01:09:50,233
Now we really belong to each other.
869
01:09:50,340 --> 01:09:53,504
Really and truly till death do us part.
870
01:09:55,144 --> 01:09:57,841
Wasn't it wonderful?
871
01:09:57,947 --> 01:10:03,147
Wasn't it absolutely the most wonderful
thing that ever happened to you?
872
01:10:06,656 --> 01:10:09,285
- Wasn't it, Joe?
- Yes.
873
01:10:10,505 --> 01:10:12,295
Come on. Let's go.
874
01:10:18,301 --> 01:10:22,170
[Narrator]Just as Clara Bow
had symbolized the rebellion of the '20s...
875
01:10:22,272 --> 01:10:26,073
Brigitte Bardot was the
image of a new generation's rebellion.
876
01:10:26,175 --> 01:10:30,545
She disrobed in her films
as a child would disrobe - on impulse.
877
01:10:30,647 --> 01:10:33,776
And she brought the screen
to a stage of nudity...
878
01:10:33,883 --> 01:10:37,115
such as had not been seen
since the late 1920s in Europe.
879
01:10:38,221 --> 01:10:42,488
Oddly enough, the first acceptance of
nudity on the screen for a star...
880
01:10:42,592 --> 01:10:44,493
was in 19 13.
881
01:10:44,594 --> 01:10:47,758
Annette Kellerman,
the greatest woman athlete of her day...
882
01:10:47,864 --> 01:10:50,060
starred in Daughter of the Gods.
883
01:10:50,166 --> 01:10:53,295
But it was not until
some 40 years later...
884
01:10:53,403 --> 01:10:55,929
that Marilyn Monroe
posed for a calendar...
885
01:10:56,039 --> 01:11:01,034
and changed the entire concept
of what a star could and could not do.
886
01:11:01,144 --> 01:11:03,807
Her studio was shocked,
but the public...
887
01:11:03,913 --> 01:11:07,111
instead of rejecting,
accepted Marilyn as she was.
888
01:11:08,618 --> 01:11:12,555
Within a few years,
most of the love goddesses would conform.
889
01:11:12,655 --> 01:11:14,886
And even Ecstasy was to be made again...
890
01:11:14,991 --> 01:11:17,654
this time with Marla Moore.
891
01:11:19,345 --> 01:11:22,759
But nudity itself seemed
not exciting enough.
892
01:11:23,239 --> 01:11:27,376
And with Europe in the lead, filmmakers
took to shooting love scenes in the nude.
893
01:11:28,605 --> 01:11:30,870
Les Liaisons dangereuses.
894
01:11:32,875 --> 01:11:34,503
The Lovers.
895
01:11:34,611 --> 01:11:36,273
One Summer of Happiness.
896
01:11:36,379 --> 01:11:38,871
And God Created Woman.

- [Door Opens]
- [Narrator] Combinations of beauty, violence...
898
01:11:43,453 --> 01:11:45,354
sex and nudity...
899
01:11:45,455 --> 01:11:48,118
became the formula of the '60s.
900
01:11:55,798 --> 01:12:00,429
In 30 years, the movies
had come full circle.
901
01:12:00,536 --> 01:12:05,270
If anything, the treatment of sex
was more overt than ever before.
902
01:12:05,375 --> 01:12:09,005
But England and the United States
held out a little longer.
903
01:12:10,046 --> 01:12:15,110
That is, until they could present sex
under the safer guise of satire.
904
01:12:21,257 --> 01:12:26,560
The picture is Expresso Bongo,
starring Laurence Harvey and Sylvia Syms.
905
01:12:26,663 --> 01:12:29,258
It was produced in England by Val Guest...
906
01:12:29,365 --> 01:12:32,130
a fine comedy
that won exceptional acclaim.

We could not leave this history of sex...
916
01:13:06,102 --> 01:13:08,799
without a tribute
to those many movie makers...
917
01:13:08,905 --> 01:13:12,364
who, faced with
no other choice but to use a symbol...
918
01:13:12,475 --> 01:13:14,808
have done so memorably.
919
01:13:14,911 --> 01:13:17,779
Among them, Busby Berkeley's
"Honeymoon Hotel."
920
01:13:28,918 --> 01:13:31,560
Ernst Lubitsch's The Love Parade.

Yes. Isn't it glorious?

It starred Claudette Colbert and Henry Wilcoxon.

Who else but Cecil B. DeMille...
931
01:14:54,421 --> 01:14:57,391
would have added to
a simple seduction scene...
