This landmark six-part documentary hosted by Raquel Welch explores the 100 year evolution ofsexuality and censorship in motion pictures. Filled with Hollywood's most compelling historical figures such as Marilyn Monroe, Veronica Lake and Brigitte Bardot, it provides a finelybalanced, critical and objective look at the often delicate subject of content in film. This series is not so much a quick portrait of sex in the movies as it is a look at freedom of expression versus the protection of constantly evolving social values. With clips from many filmsincluding those such as The Graduate (1967), Bonnie and Clyde (1967), From Russia with Love (1963) and Basic Instinct (1992) each part provides an enormously entertaining and in-depth perspective of many of the forces which have helped to shape the cultural and social landscape of the 20th Century. Featuring the likes of Billy Zane, Sally Field, Harrison Ford, Melanie Griffith, Sydney Pollack and Oliver Stone amongst a cast of many.
