"It's worth speculating on the influence [on Naughty!] of Stephen Marcus's The Other Victorians on the film's Victorian sections. Marcus's book had been available in paperback since 1969 and highlighted as an important book by Nova. [...] It draws on some of Marcus's cast of characters - Henry Ashbee's extensive porn collection, the dubious dealings of John Hotten, Henry Hayler's 'dirty pictures'. [...] It demonstrates a comparable accumulation of primary material -'primitive' silent porn, the diverse material at the Amsterdam 'Wet Dream' Film Festival, footage of John Lindsay shooting hardcore in a suburban front room, explaining the 'come shot' to his leading man." --British Low Culture: From Safari Suits to Sexploitation (1998) by Leon Hunt |

British Low Culture: From Safari Suits to Sexploitation (1998) by is a book by Leon Hunt.
Blurb:
Identifying 'permissive populism', the trickle down of permissiveness into mass consumption, as a key feature of the 1970s, Leon Hunt considers the values of an ostensibly 'bad' decade and analyses the implications of the 1970s for issues of taste and cultural capital. Hunt explores how the British cultural landscape of the 1970s coincided with moral panics, the troubled Heath government, the three day week and the fragmentation of British society by nationalism, class conflict, race, gender and sexuality.
