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". |
