Editorial Reviews

VINTAGE EROTICA ANNO 1950 20 Years before the rise of 1970's hardcore films in the U.S., the commercial pornography produced by the French unleashed a new era of Erotic Cinema. Suddenly, unlike the common "stag" films of the time, scripts, multiple camera angles, and title credits were introduced into erotic productions. These extended 15-minute films were intended for private viewing in the back rooms of stores, in homes, and at local brothels. The themes of many of these films were bondage and burlesque; images similar to those produced by Irving Klaw in the U.S. The main difference being that in France the filmmakers would show on-camera sex, and nudity. These films stand out, not only for being ahead of their time, but because they transcend the standards of much of what is being produced today.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hot and Nasty!, December 23, 2006

This review is from: Vintage Erotica Anno 1950 (DVD)

This one is just as hot and nasty as the 1940's one again porn has not changed much there is no plot. Just French Greasers and Bettys getting down and nasty. Sure some of the chicks in these films look as if they hit every branch of the ugly tree and then again there is some that had me smoking hot Whew goodness gracious GREAT BALLS OF FIRE! In between the scenes are some corny burlesque dancers in "exotic" costumes. I just have to say this movie had me reaching for the vasoline. There is no sound and their cheaply made. What do you expect? It was the 50's and all over the world people thought one on one made you blind or grow hair on your palms! These movies are great and there is a certain innocence in the porn that seems to be lost nowadays. My suggestion to you if you collect old stuff get this movie and you'll have fun I gurantee it.

It's fun to watch the old stuff. Not like the classic 70's, but always a pleasant surprise.

1.0 out of 5 stars Ripoff., July 18, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Vintage Erotica Anno 1950 (DVD)

Ripoff. None of the three beautiful women in the clear cover shots are anywhere in the DVD, instead there is scratched blurry film of mostly very ugly women.
