THE GOLDEN AGE OF EROTIC CINEMA: 1959-1972

The First Re-Publication in 40 Years of William Rotslerâ€™s Classic Insiders Look at The Golden Age Of Erotic Cinema

â€œâ€¦Rotsler knowledgably â€¦ championed the underground cinema movement for creating â€˜sexy and beautifulâ€™ films that â€˜say . . . important thingsâ€™ as a visible part of broader social changes in sexual moresâ€¦â€
â€”John Minson, Bright Lights Film Journal

â€œThe Golden Age of Erotic Cinema offers an insider's private look at the world of adult entertainment before its innocence was lost. There's no better tour guide than Mr. Rotsler.â€
â€”Sherry Ziegelmeyer, President, Black and Blue Media PR

Back in print for the first time in 40 years, The Golden Age Of Erotic Cinema is William Rotslerâ€™s controversial insiderâ€™s view of the development and flowering of adult filmmaking in the 1960s. Beginning with the films of Russ Myers, to the phenomenal success of Deep Throat, the movie that put Adults Only films on the map, this must-have book covers all the major films of the time (and many little-known ones as well). It takes readers behind the scenes for a look at the making of erotic movies, presents up-close-and-personal interviews with the stars, the producers, the directors, and concludes with an â€œErotic Cinema Checklistâ€ rating the heat level and quality of over 100 erotic movies of the era.

Join William Rotsler as he takes you behind-the-scenes of Golden Age adult films to cover:

Deep Throat
Behind the Green Door
The Devil and Miss. Jones
Linda Lovelace
Russ Myer
The Mitchell Brothers
Marilyn Chambers
And much much more.

The republication of The Golden Age Of Erotic Cinema is a major event. Itâ€™s a â€œmust-haveâ€ for any one interested in erotic films, their history and making.

Over the years since its original publication The Golden Age Of Erotic Cinema has as achieved the status of a classic on its subject. And William Rotsler was a man uniquely qualified to write it. â€œâ€¦His experience [as writer and director] within the sexploitation industry made him a prominent commentator on the screenâ€™s explicit sexual realism,â€ writes David Church in â€œBetween Fantasy and Reality: Sexploitation, Fan Magazines and William Rotslerâ€™s â€˜Adult Onlyâ€™ Career.â€

This special ebook edition contains a memoir written in his later life by William Rotsler looking back on those years, candidly describing his bohemian lifestyle as a director/writer of erotic films, the behind-the-scenes battles with money men, and offering personal insights into the making of some of his most celebrated films. Plus a special poster gallery showcasing some of the most notable erotic films of the era.

The late William Rotsler (1926 â€“ 1997) was truly a renaissance man: acclaimed sculptor, filmmaker, photographer, reporter, novelist, illustrator, cartoonist, and the recipient of multiple awards and award nominations. But William Rotsler is perhaps best known as a visionary erotic filmmaker, acclaimed for such â€œcult classicsâ€ (Wikipedia) as Agony of Love, Mantis In Lace, Street of a Thousand Pleasures, The Godson, and Like It Is!, among others. During the 1960s he directed dozens of short and feature length films. Frequently working with Harry Novak of Boxoffice International fame, William Rotsler filmed many of the legendary actresses and models of his time, including Diane Webber, Virginia Gordon, Vincene Wallace, Pat Barrington, Gloria Saunders, Cathy Crowfoot, Joanne Rotolo, and Vicky Dee.
