11:30 Movie "Reflections in a Golden Eye"

Some time ago I was listening to an old aircheck on Reelradio.com only to hear an ad for this movie. "...Reflections In a Golden Eye...YOU CAN ONLY SEE IT AT YOUR THEATRE...IT WILL NEVER BE SEEN ON TELEVISION...NEVER !!!

...and yet here it is..ON CBS !!!

Its been years since I had seen Reflections but I believe this was the movie where a woman tries to kill herself by cutting off her own breasts and where both Liz Taylor and Marlon Brando had a crush on a male solider who enjoyed horseback riding in the nude as well as masterbating in barns. Of course all of this "fine entertainment" was edited out by the time "Reflections In A Golden Eye" had aired on CBS, perhaps half the movie ;D

No doubt this could be the film that started false rumors among Christian and "family" groups that CBS would start showing X-rated adult films, not just in late night but anytime. I recall TV Guide also doing a cover story on the rumors, as well.

...no, that was Luchino Visconti's 1969 X-rated item The Damned, about sexual and other intrigue amongst an industrialist's family in 1934 Nazi Germany. Reflections in a Golden Eye was released on 13 October 1967; as the MPAA didn't introduce its movie rating system until 1 November 1968, the film was long out of first-run theaters by the time it would have needed a rating to be screened in one...

Actually, I was talking about films with adult themes, whether they were released before or after the ratings system was instituted. The film's appearance on CBS might have drawn controversy, even though it was released before ratings began.

...I did a little checking, and I came across this note on http://www.dvdtalk.com/dvdsavant/s1121damn.html that at least tells me I'm not the only one who recalls that controversy being kicked off by The Damned being sold to CBS:

"The Damned was, infamously, the first X-rated film to be sold to network television; it was part of a gigantic package of titles licensed by Warners in 1972 to the then- new CBS Late Movie. The media inevitably made much of this, and conservatives and religious groups loudly accused the network of attempting to air pornography. [It goes without saying that the tv version of The Damned was heavily edited and bore little trace of the film's shocking content. I would point out, though, that it would be impossible to delete the picture's decadent tone and narrative.] Some affiliates declined to air the film, and CBS, which by that point probably wished it had never heard of the movie, prefaced its single broadcast of the picture with a stern disclaimer."

I can remember when The "CBS will be showing adult films" rumor had taken another turn in the late 70's over the rumor of the Susanne Pleshette & Tom Berenger TV movie "Flesh & Bood". Oh the rumors such as the one where 'the son" Berenger spies then walks in on his mother Pleshette getting it on with herself in the shower. Then there is the scene where mother Pleshette and son Berenger had intercourse after "mommy' had got back from an orgy with her boyfriend.

Funny thing was..these scenes really did happen, but not in "Flesh & Blood" but rather the 1979 Kay Parker/Ron Jeremy ( early role for him ) hardcore porno "Taboo". I can remember Pleshette & Berenger both had felt the controversy was both funny..and odd. Funny how the family/religious groups would spread such rumors about their movie without even watching the damn thing in the first place...but "odd" because many of these very same people had described just about every scene in...Taboo.
