Nude Scenes from
Prison Girls (1972)

3-D Movies are mounting a comeback. Again. Be still, my bleeding eyes. Again.

At age 7, I stumbled upon the famous photograph of a movie theater audience staring up, enraptured, at Bwana Devil (1953) through paper eyeglasses with colored lenses.

Some nearby authority figure explained to me that those people were watching a 3-D movie, and those glasses enabled the images to jump right off the screen.

The immediate, flawlessly logical question I blurted out then was: “So why isn’t every movie in 3-D?” Nobody could explain it to me.

Seven was also the age when I happened up Pops McBeardo’s Playboy stashed in the bathroom hamper, so my unspoken query was: “And why isn’t Playboy in 3-D? And what about dirty movies?” The answers would come. As would I.

Today marks the birthday of legendary B-movie producer and distributor Samuel Z. Arkoff, who is responsible for such master strokes of skinema as Coffy (1973), Thriller: A Cruel Picture, and (1974) Prison Girls (1972). Arkoff attributed his success to his insistence that all his movies should adhere to a formula, which he revealed during an interview in the 1980s.

1. Action

2. Revolutionary Ideas

3. Killing or Violence

4. Notable Dialogue

5. Fantasy

6. Fornication

While I would never presume to question the master's wisdom, I have to admit that, even if it leaves out the first five, I'll watch any movie that has number six. Or at least fast forward to the good parts.

Who's the BREAST in show? Mr. Skin knows all . . . and shows all. And when it comes to humungous hooters, these 13 titanically top-heavy knockouts will udderly blow you away!
