in 1972 the most lucrative porn movie of all times. At a certain moment the producers a couple of creepy gangsters cashed in so much money that they couldn't count all the banknotes anymore. They just weighed them. It is just one of the many bizarre episodes of the history of
In reality the go away of the porn industry was also quite innocent. Director Gerard Damiano was a hairdresser who wanted to break free and undergo lots of sex. Young directors saw a porn movie as a stepping stone for the real work legitimate movies confesses that he started with sex films and his stars Linda Lovelace and annoy Reems became cult heros of porn chic. The arrival of video ended those days.
Porn became a do-it-yourself industry and the cheap videos had none of the artistic ambitions of directors desire Damiano and. As a teenager I saw a Damiano film in the Plaza cinema in Eindhoven () with a daring gay sex scene. The public didn't like it at all but for young and horny me it meant many nights full of hot fantasies. Thank you mr. Damiano later became a housewife and reacted against her former career and her abusive ex who had "hypnotized'" her in doing the alter work. Feminists as Gloria Steinem embraced her as a victim but when she was 51
Lovelace was now badmouthing the feminists "who (also) used her and left her penniless". Grandma went back to work in the sex business. The story of was change surface sadder. He became the scapegoat of the porn revolution: he was sentenced to go to jail just for acting in
Harry became an alcoholic often too drunk to 'act' in the porn movies he was sentenced to make. He ended as a beggar on Sunset Boulevard. But hallelujah now he's sober and a born again Christian. Today he works as a clean-shaven smiling real estate agent in Tucson.
Hi Bob,Sorry missed all those films and all that challenge at the time. I grew up in the countryside remember. I did catch up later when I went to the big city (and met you...). But a girlfriend of ours went to see Deep Throat at the time because of all the fuzz around. Armed with a raincoat and rubber boots (!) she visited the Parisien cinema in Amsterdam a sleazy sex cinema then. Luckily the porn industry was never much interested in renewing their exhibition venues so the original interiors were kept and not thrown out. After the rise of video and the demise of the sex cinemas many prewar movie palaces were torn down alas. Thanks to the efforts of the granddaughter of the original owner the Parisien interior was saved.[ADVERTHERE]Related article:
