Here's another bodacious sampling from the world of exploitation films -- a mind-melting mix of everything from the usual X-rated fare, to burlesque, to bikers and psychedelia. On a side note, the actress who adopted the name Long Jeanne Silver may not be why you think. She was actually an amputee who used her leg as a "prop", if you know what I mean. It seems like anything twisted and crazy that could be thought up in a locker room was put on film in those days!
These outlandish posters speak of a different era entirely when sex was simultaneously forbidden but frequent. Morality has eased since then, even if some Puritanical cranks want to bring back those vintage days of hypocrisy. And even knowing the posters are way better than the movies, there are a few of these I'd like to watch if only for a moment or two.
