Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAt one point announcer George Putnam, arguing for the banning of "obscene" materials, says, "This is a nation of laws". The uncredited producer of this film, Charles Keating--the founder of an "anti-pornography" organization called Citizens for Decent Literature, which actually produced the film--was on President Richard Nixon's Presidential Commission on Obscenity and Pornography in 1969. He is the same Charles Keating who, as president of Lincoln Savings & Loan in the late 1980s, was convicted of multiple counts of wire fraud, racketeering and conspiracy due to his involvement in financial shenanigans which led to the collapse of Lincoln Savings, which ultimately cost the US government over $3 billion and which resulted in more than 23,000 depositors losing most or all of the money they had deposited in Lincoln Savings. He served 4-1/2 years in prison before being released in 1996.

Featured review
Perversion for Profit (1965)
** 1/2 (out of 4)
George Putnam, listed in the credits as being an "outstanding news reporter", tackles dirty magazines that were on bookshelves back in 1965. Standing in front of a map of the U.S., Putnam talks to the viewer about all the evil magazines that are turning people into perverts, lesbians, homosexuals, child molesters and various other sexual evils. As you can tell, the main draw to a film like this is just like the draw of REEFER MADNESS and that's just to see how much b.s. they can fit into one film. The film is quite funny because of how politically incorrect the film is so if you're easily offended then you might want to stay away. I personally never knew how many adult magazines were available back in the day so it was very interesting seeing the covers and what was being passed off as sexy then. The narration is so over the top and the stories he's telling are so stupid that you can't take them seriously for a second. The stuff dealing with homosexuals trying to lure young boys was outlandishly surreal. The entire film is a nostalgia trip for those certain people pushing their viewpoints with lies.
