Before there was 50 Shades of Grey, there was French S&M novel Story of O. Written by a woman namedAnne Desclos (under the pen name Pauline Reage) was all about dominance and submission. Released in 1954, before the sexual revolution took the world by storm, the book was adapted into a sexy seventies film in 1975 to give us the hot French film The Story of O.

This movie was highly controversial with several screenings being shut down and picketed even though it wasn't technically the first adaptation. Experimental director Kenneth Anger made a short film version in 1961, but it left out so many of the good parts. We're thrilled for this full-length version which ended up being banned in the U.K. until the year 2000! Thankfully everyone can see the movie now and you can see most of the movie here on Mr. Skin since so much of it has nudity. You'll be hard-pressed to find a scene where one of these beautiful European women are actually fully clothed.
