Takes a look at eroticism in the history of motion pictures. The introduction examines films from the chaste The Kiss (1896), through the puritanical Production Code of 1934 (with the filmmakers' response of repressed suggestiveness), to the increased permissiveness of the 1960s and beyond, in order to come up with a definition of erotic films as those that "titillate and illuminate far beyond the wildest dreams of movie romances, but stop short of the nuts-and-bolts frankness of blue movies." Illustrated with dozens of color and black-and-white photos. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
