Black and White and Blue: Adult Cinema from the Victorian Age to the VCR Summary
| In the 1920s they were called stags, smokes, or blue movies;átodayáit's adult films. But until now, apart from brief summaries ináfilm historiesáand scholarlyáarticles, there has been no complete history ofátheápornographic film industry.áThat gap is filledáby this lively and insightful bookáthat provides commentary on individual movies and traces the evolution of film styles and storylines through nearly a century ofá X-rated material. All the research for the book is based on viewings of the moviesùmany of the oldest are now archived on DVDsùand on interviews with living actors and producers. Tracingáan arc from the masks and dim lighting of the earliestádays to the realism andáabsence of trick photography in the 1920s and 1930s, the account then pondersátheáobsession 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. |
