Black and White and Blue: Adult Cinema from the Victorian Age to the VCR

In the 1920s they were called stags, smokes, or blue movies;� today� it's adult films. But until now, apart from brief summaries in� film histories� and scholarly� articles, there has been no complete history of� the� pornographic film industry.� That gap is filled� by this lively and insightful book� that provides commentary on individual movies and traces the evolution of film styles and storylines through nearly a century of� X-rated material. All the research for the book is based on viewings of the movies-many of the oldest are now archived on DVDs-and on interviews with living actors and producers. Tracing� an arc from the masks and dim lighting of the earliest� days to the realism and� absence of trick photography in the 1920s and 1930s, the account then ponders� the� obsession 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.
