Mona (1970) - Bill Osco
The first explicitly pornographic film with a plot that received a general theatrical release in the U.S.
The first explicitly pornographic film with a plot that received a general theatrical release in the U.S. is generally considered to be Mona (also known as Mona the Virgin Nymph), a 59-minute 1970 feature by Bill Osco and Howard Ziehm, who went on to create the relatively high-budget hardcore/softcore (depending on the release) cult film Flesh Gordon. --http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Softcore#History [Dec 2004]The incursion of hardcore sex into the commercial film market
The incursion of hardcore sex into the commercial film market has brought with it the elevation of one of the most common, most lusted-after and most "forbidden" sex acts -- fellatio -- to the status of a profitable commodity. A 1972 newcomer to the scene, Gerard Damiano's Deep Throat, turned a $24,000 production budget (three days shooting in motel rooms) into a multi-million dollar profit that increased every time the police or would-be censors went after it without (at least initially) succeeding. However while this latter film -- now world-famous as the prototype of "fellatio" films -- is unique in no respect except for the impossible anatomical talents of its star, Linda Lovelace (there has never been deeper penetration anywhere) -- Mona must be recorded as the pioneer and in every respect a superior work. In this film, unlike Deep Throat, the challenge of the topic is taken seriously and the sexual activity riveted on it, as we observe the heroine in action in bedrooms, cinemas, back yards, wherever the opportunity can be created. There is an edge of abandon and desperation to her that whets the appetite of frustrated men and helps to define the film as a commercial product, in disproportionally large demand solely because society will not freely accept human activities as human. --http://www.subcin.com/homo2.html [May 2004]
