- Quotes
[first lines]
Susan Griffin: "Hustler" magazine, which is a pornographic magazine, had a Valentine's Day issue in February. There's a glossy red cover, and there's a woman on the cover and she's wearing chains. She's semi-nude of course, she wearing chains and one of those collars around her neck, and she has glasses in the shapes of hearts. Pornography reveals itself, its real purpose, you know, there you have the heart imprisoned, the heart on its knees, you know, and if necessary the heart rendered silent.
- Alternate versionsIn the explicit nude photoshoot of Linda Lee Tracey, the video release has her crotch area fuzzed out.

Written by Bert Berns and Jerry Ragovoy
It's about pornography and how it degrades women. They specifically target porno films where women are tied up and used. To make their point they do have to show clips from these films--and they're just revolting. I have nothing against porn--but not when it's violent and people are being tied up or forced.
They also talk to people who run porno shops and women who perform sex acts live. The most interesting interview I remember was when they talked to a wife and husband who preformed live sex acts to each other on stage (she's white, he's black). She actually defends what she's doing quite well and had me believing her! Just fascinating with hardcore sex--but it IS necessary for the integrity of the film. It's also horrifying that some people enjoy this sort of "entertainment". Hard to find--it deserves wide distribution. A 10.
