SynopsisSex sells! It's no secret that since moving pictures were invented, distributors and theater owners realized that nothing really promotes a movie better than blatantly sexual advertising. X-rated adult movies reached their peak in the 1960s and 70s, with films like Debbie Does Dallas and Deep Throat . While some films were hard-core and left nothing to the imagination, most enjoyed the art of innuendo, which is to say, you couldn't tell whether the participants who were getting it on were faking it--or doing it for real. Even though most of the adult movies of the 60s and 70s have faded into cinematic history--and their stars have retired into elderly care homes for the well-endowed (giving new meaning to the term "nursing home")--what remains, as a lasting legacy, are the posters. If the poster art in this book evokes those far-off days of suspender belts, stockings, and eye-popping, gravity-defying brassieres, not to mention outsize Y-fronts, then that alone is worth the cover price. It's practically cheaper than a movie these days, anyway., Sex sells It's no secret that since moving pictures were invented, distributors and theater owners realized that nothing really promotes a movie better than blatantly sexual advertising.

Titles of past memories.
having grown up during the 1960's, i graducated brom high school in 1968, i had already enlisted in the armed service, also, i looked older than i was, so getting into "adult" films was easy. we had an adult movie theatre one train stop from where i lived, so, i used to go there on saturday afternoons and watch the adult films, usually by myself, usually with my girlfriend. and fool around yes. this book brought back memories of the films we saw together and i saw by myself. it is a decenct memory.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
