Sex and Buttered Popcorn: The Story of the Hollywood Exploiters
"Uncut! Uncensored! Unashamed!" proclaimed these Hollywood  Roadshowmen. They sold sex and sin, sugar frosted with salvation, the  latter making it permissible to cater to the forbidden and frowned-upon  appetites of middle America. All across our heartland one and two nights of  naughty titillation were offered as exposÃ©s and insights. SEX AND BUTTERED  POPCORN is an affectionate peek at an era of American motion picture-making  which had its roots in the tanbark and tinsel of the traveling carnival and  which flourished from the twenties through the fifties. The Films: "  Forbidden Daughters," " The Road to Ruin," " Hollywood Script Girl," "  Maniac," "They Wear No Clothes!," The March of Crime," " Polygamy," "Child  Bride," "Forbidden Desire," " She Shoulda' Said No," "Back to Nature,"  "Dance Hall Racket," "Strip Tease Girl" and, of course," Mom and Dad" are  some of the titles shown. Most have not been seen since their original  release. The Interviews: David F. Friedman and Dan Sonney, two surviving  itinerant showmen who traded on the prurient interest of the masses, plus  Mildred Babb, the widow of exploitation kingpin, Kroger Babb.
