CINEMA L’AMOUR: Porn’s come a long way since the advent of the Internet, but in the process, old-school-style skin flicks have been lost. Black and White and Blue, a new book by author Dave Thompson and published by ECW Press, recounts the history of adult cinema from the first hardcore erotic film (French, unsurprisingly) to the introduction of the VCR in the late ’70s.
Covering everything from how and who made the first blue movies and who watched them (mostly, it seems, roomfuls of men), Black and White traces the history of the American adult film industry right up to the release and popularity of Deep Throat. It’s like Boogie Nights for the cerebral.
