Plot summary
This documentary follows the movie industry's changing treatment of sex, and the actresses whose portrayals changed along with it, from the silent era onward. True Heart Susie, made in the silent period, is one of the earliest films excerpted. Love Me Tonight, from 1932, blends sex with sophistication. A Place in the Sun, from 1951, supplies a later scene. Many of the screen's major actresses appear in the pictures the documentary samples, and its excerpts reach far beyond these few titles.
