The language of eroticism is composed of a million scenes and signals: the pout of Bardot, wiggle of Monroe, eyes of Redford, lips of Moreau, breasts of a, b, and z. In this survey. brilliantly illustrated"with well over 200 stills, many of them extremely rare, Richard Wortley explores six major aspects, beginning with the Atmosphere People - the choruses of innumerable epics and musicals - and ending with the Taboo-breakers of the '70s.
