The Elegant Sadist Goes to the Cinema

I found an interesting list of bdsm-related scenes in cinema here: http://margelle.org/aboutgoddess/page9/page9.html

One of the films that is left out of this list is “Prime Cut” with Lee Marvin and Gene Hackman (1972).  It’s a tale of gangsters, sex slaves,  captive young girls kept naked in cattle pens, herded with cattle prods, and sold on auction blocks.  I’ve never actually seen the film.  I only remember reading the description, which sounded daring for a 1972 mainstream movie.  Apparently a young Cissy Spacek debuted with a totally nude scene.

There were darker movies that appeared in the late 1960′s (the “roughies”), but these were not mainstream movies, and were confined to the grindhouses and drive-ins.  http://permanentobscurity.com/perm-obsc-sexploitation-roughies.htm
