ain't it strange that, since Wild Bunch-era movies, it has become acceptable to make films portraying violence in the most graphic terms but sensuality in film has just about disappeared (unless in service to a violent story, i.e. a rape scene, sexual abuse, etc.).
Uma Thurman, Penelope Cruz, Salma Hayek, Heather Graham...I can't think of a moment in any of their films that rivals the pure animalism of Betty Taylor prowling around in her lingerie in "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof."
I've heard some chatter that it's feminism that has led to this state but I don't think that's the case: women are beaten, shot, and tortured regularly in film with nary an outcry from NOW.
Anyhow, why something as natural as procreation now has an unspoken interdict while blood flows in ever greater rivers from the screen is very, very strange.
Carol Lynley, Ann Margaret, Tuesday Weld...where are you?
