Metzger and by the pseudonyms, "Jake Barnes", "Erich Farina" and "Henry Paris") (January 21, 1929 – March 31, 2017) was an American pioneering filmmaker and film distributor, most noted for popular artistic, adult-oriented films, including ''Thérèse and Isabelle'' (1968), '' Camille 2000'' (1969), '' The Lickerish Quartet'' (1970), ''Score'' (1974), '' The Private Afternoons of Pamela Mann'' (1974), '' The Image'' (1975), '' The Opening of Misty Beethoven'' (1976) and ''Barbara Broadcast'' (1977).

The Private Afternoons Of Pamela Mann
''The Private Afternoons of Pamela Mann'' is a 1974 American hardcore adult film starring Barbara Bourbon and directed by Radley Metzger (as "Henry Paris") that is considered one of the classics of the Golden Age of Porn (1969–1984). It was a step forward in the development of the genre, as it had a plot and good acting. The movie can be seen as a meditation on voyeurism, due to the trope of Mann being spied on by a private detective hired by her husband, and the production of pornography itself, as the detective films her sexual encounters. Porn film star Bill Margold, who went on to be the director of the Free Speech Coalition, has written that "''The Private Afternoons of Pamela Mann'' signals an end to the all-balling, no purpose, disposable mastur-movies that go into one orifice and out another.” Filmed in Manhattan, the movie was released in New York City on December 26, 1974 and was nationally distributed in 1975. The film has been inducted into the XRCO Hall of Fam ...

Blue Movie
''Blue Movie'' (also known as ''Fuck'') is a 1969 American erotic film written, produced and directed by Andy Warhol. It is the first adult erotic film depicting explicit sex to receive wide theatrical release in the United States, and is regarded as a seminal film in the Golden Age of Porn. It helped inaugurate the " porno chic" phenomenon, in which porn was publicly discussed by celebrities (like Johnny Carson and Bob Hope) and taken seriously by film critics (like Roger Ebert), in modern American culture, and later, in many other countries throughout the world. According to Warhol, ''Blue Movie'' was a major influence in the making of '' Last Tango in Paris'', an internationally controversial erotic drama film starring Marlon Brando and released a few years after ''Blue Movie'' was made. Viva and Louis Waldon, playing themselves, starred in ''Blue Movie''. In 1970, '' Mona'', the second adult erotic film that received a wide release, was shown. Afterwards, other adult ...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_talk:Spam-whitelist/Archives/2018/01#Another_Worthy_Journal_Article_on_Wordpress ---> The term "Golden Age of Porn", or "porno chic", refers to a 15-year period (1969–1984) in commercial American pornography, in which sexually explicit films experienced positive attention from mainstream cinemas, movie critics, and the general public. This American period, which had subsequently spread internationally, and that began ''before'' the legalization of pornography in Denmark on July 1, 1969, started on June 12, 1969, with the theatrical release of the film '' Blue Movie'' directed by Andy Warhol, and, somewhat later, with the release of the 1970 film '' Mona'' produced by Bill Osco. These films were the first adult erotic films depicting explicit sex to receive wide theatrical release in the United States. Both influenced the making of films such as 1972's '' Deep Throat'' starring Linda Lovelace and directed by Gerard Damiano, '' Beh ...
