This Rediscovered 1962 Anti-Pornography Film Is Unbelievably Bananas
In Depth
There’s no way to describe this recently rediscovered, early 1960s anti-pornography film except to say that it is fucking wild.
The Register-Guard reports that the Oregon Historical Society recently uncovered a copy of the hysterically named “Pages of Death” in their archives. Previously presumed lost, it’s a 27-minute attempt by the “Citizens for Decent Literature” to suggest that the inexpensive, dirty magazines and paperbacks flooding the market at the time were a public safety threat, as they could turn regular American boys into sex-crazed maniacs who brutalize and murder little girls. That is not hyperbole! That is literally what happens in this movie!
