[QUOTE="Spells & Karma, post: 432046, member: 23"] That sounds about right. Nope - I wasn't aware of this one. I just clicked in and watched the first five minutes (up to someone called "Ben Dover" talking) and I stopped myself, thinking I'll save it to watch of an evening. Over the weekend, with any luck, or early next week. Even those five minutes reinforced what you were saying, though. The fact that porn was banned when these comedies were first made, for example - especially when paired with the whispers of sexual liberation - lends itself to a combination of sexual innocence and curiosity, which would be the prism through which characters in [I]The Lovers [/I]or[I] Man About The House [/I]saw the world. The sex comedy is such a curious genre. The ones I've seen have been pretty terrible - and neither sexy nor funny - but there's something almost charming in their representation of a very specific window of time. As was said in the opening of the documentary, younger people simply would not understand what they were all about. I mean, I have enough trouble trying to make sense of it. [/QUOTE]
