In the 1920s they were called stags," "smokes," " or blue movies;
today it's adult films. But until now, apart from brief summaries
in film histories and scholarly articles, there has been no
complete history of the pornographic film industry. That gap is
filled by this lively and insightful book that provides commentary
on individual movies and traces the evolution of film styles and
storylines through nearly a century of X-rated material. All the
research for the book is based on viewings of the movies--many of
the oldest are now archived on DVDs--and on interviews with living
actors and producers. Tracing an arc from the masks and dim
lighting of the earliest days to the realism and absence of trick
photography in the 1920s and 1930s, the account then ponders the
obsession with close-ups of body parts in later decades. The
overview ends in the late 1970s, when the advent of home videos
changed adult entertainment completely.
