- Quotes
[first lines]
Susan Griffin: "Hustler" magazine, which is a pornographic magazine, had a Valentine's Day issue in February. There's a glossy red cover, and there's a woman on the cover and she's wearing chains. She's semi-nude of course, she wearing chains and one of those collars around her neck, and she has glasses in the shapes of hearts. Pornography reveals itself, its real purpose, you know, there you have the heart imprisoned, the heart on its knees, you know, and if necessary the heart rendered silent.
- Alternate versionsIn the explicit nude photoshoot of Linda Lee Tracey, the video release has her crotch area fuzzed out.

This movie was amazing. I'd never really considered pornography from a feminist point of view, so to be exposed to this movie was really shocking. Some of the scenes are hard to watch, I must admit.
I think it's great that the director is accompanied by Linda who is a stripper. It's great to see Linda's reaction at the end of the film when she has been through a "Hustler" type photo shoot.
And was I the only one completely disturbed by the lady photographer? Eek.
If you have any social conscience, you must see this movie.
