The Lusting Hours

Highlights from Michael Findlay's "The Lusting Hours" (1967), a pseudo-documentary exploitation film about prostitutes, transvestites, homosexuals, and S&M.

First, Janet Banzet at a fetish photo session, then a drag queen dominatrix humiliates a submissive slave (perhaps the first film to show this side of the gay subculture), followed by two artfully made montages: a disturbed fetish photographer whipping a prostitute and a final blend of scenes and out takes.

Findlay went on to make some highly influential roughie and psycho-killer films such as The Touch of Her Flesh, The Ultimate Degenerate, The Curse of Her Flesh, and some of the first slasher films. His wife Roberta acted and later became a notable director of porn films.
