Erica Jong, SEX: The Revolution!

 

"SEX: The Revolution!"

 

Due out 2008

Forever caught in the throes of a bitter culture war, the story of the sexual revolution of the sixties and seventies is still charged with controversy. Was it free-thinking liberation, wild ecstacy, moral degeneracy? Or all of the above?

Perry Films and VH1 are joing forces again to produce a multi-part documentary series on the sexual revolutionand its endurring influence on American culture. It's a story of a time in our history that challenged centuries of traditional morality about sex. A time that eradicated people's fear, loathing and ignorance about sex. A time that promoted unprecedented sexual honesty and expression. And in the end, a time when laws were changed and rulings made to end censorship and legal retribution for people's private sexual behavior. It's a story of incredible styles, scenes, visionaries, movements, fanatics, charlatans, and middle-class experimentation-- but also the story of the people of traditional values who felt threatened by it all, who condemned it, and launched a counter-revolution.

The four-part, four-hour series will feature rich, fast-paced inter-cutting of rare footage, classic clips, iconic music, and provovative, entertaining and very imformative interviews with an astonishingly broad and eclectic spectrum of people. The storytellers will be the people who created the sexual revolution, lived it, wrote the books and music and made the films about it, and we're shaped by it.

This is the story of the sexual revolution, and how it changed America.



 

Playback: Raymond Chandler in his own Words

Raymond Chandler has been widely acknowledged as the progenitor of film noir and detective fiction as we know it today. His novels, stories and screenplays have influenced generations of fans, writers and film-makers. Chandler's primary creation, Philip Marlowe, is one of the genre's most beloved icons, setting the standard for the classic Hollywood private gumshoe and most famously depicted by Humphrey Bogart in "The Big Sleep".

This biographical documentary draws on Chandler's private letters and non-fiction writing, as well as his published fiction and movies. Producer/director Dana Heinz Perry has secured unprecedented and exclusive access to his extensive correspondence, through which he narrates his own journey, via a well-cast voice actor.
