With the release of "Vintage Erotica Anno 1960," Cult Epics unleashes
twelve underground 16mm short porn films that not only show the free
wheeling fun loving of the early sixties but the evolution of the porno
film before our very eyes. As the smut and taboo material of threesomes
and orgies became ever more frequent in the underground smut circuit, we
saw the beginnings of the classic porn formula where it was less about
voyeurism and teasing the audience as it was about rough hardcore sex.
In the forties the mere display of women undressing was cause for
arousal, but with the new footage there is so much more to be done as
scenarios are written to include certain sexual situations that would
become a trademark in porn films.

Also, with the further
acceptance of pornography and erotica cam better production
qualities as we see much more footage out doors and much
more performers willing to show their faces on camera. But
the only caveat is that most of the performers here are much
more natural. So while we did have some rough sex, there is
also some shaggy porn performers. Women displayed obvious
tans and sags, while men were less muscle bound, and a lot
more lumpy and balding. One performer is outright tubby with
a blatant comb over. |

Two women however continue to indulge in
a threesome with two black masks on while their male counterpart
interrupts their fondling session with a mask of his own that covers
most of his face. "Vintage Erotica anno 1960" is a remarkable collection
of erotic shorts that further explore the evolution of porn filmmaking
in its most raw and unadulterated and Cult Epics offers up a worthy
collector's edition for fans of the medium. Among the special features
there is a gallery of restored stills from the erotic shorts, and a nine
minute bonus feature from 1940 that's about as hardcore as the shorts in
the 1960's.
Further exploring
the evolution of the pornographic and erotica medium, Cult Epics' DVD
releases chronicling the taboo art form in to the acceptance by the
mainstream are engrossing and startling in their establishing of the
classic porn tropes while also revealing raw sexuality in its finest.
