...real dirt-what the French call le hard core-has come from the U.S. One American import, History of the Blue Movie (seductively retitled Anthologie du Plaisir), recently played at 14 theaters in Paris. French distributors are now fighting for the rights to such American porn "classics" as Deep Throat and Behind the Green Door...
Lady Antonia, a lithe blonde, has been married since 1956 to Tory M.P. Hugh Fraser. Her father is the Earl of Longford, a sturdy Roman Catholic peer and tireless moralizer whose antismut campaigns have earned him the nickname "Lord Porn." She is an avid collector-of white dresses (she has 100), and of personages literary, theatrical and political. Her companions have included Author Norman Mailer, Actor Robert Stephens and Lord Lambton, the Tory M.P. who quit Parliament last year after being photographed in bed with a call girl...

Not content with just visual eroticism, director Just Jaeckin tries to convince us that he's making a serious philosophical statement on human sensuality. He fails not so much because he lack the originality...
...should be kept in mind, of course, that the well-lathered extremes of American porn are banned in France. Without knowledge of Deep Throat, Emmanuelle might seem like pretty hot stuff.
