Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This film arrived at the peak of 'the feminist sex wars,' when Andrea Dworkin and Ellen Willis were literally not speaking to each other over pornography's role in oppression.
Lindalee Tracy later became a respected journalist and died in 2006; Klein's husband was filmmaker-rocker Philip Borsos, proving Canadian cinema is impossibly small.
