The Love Object

I saw this movie a long time ago at a drive-in theater in New Jersey, back when gas was thirty cents a gallon. The basic plot, as best as I can recall, was that some men kidnap an aspiring actress and train her to please their male clients. She's not a sex slave, exactly, because she's allowed to come and go and is told once she's achieved success she can tell them to sod off and they won't bother her any more. She does, she does, and they do, which all happens at the end of the movie. At several points in the movie the projectionist turned the light down so low that no one could see anything, although the sound was maintained so that everyone could tell that something interesting was going on. We just weren't allowed to see what it was. There were also a few places where some scenes have clearly been cut short or edited out.

The movie had something of the feel of the old 'Ginger' movies, since it featured mild bondage and nudity. It predates those movies, but it has some of the same people involved with it.
