Perversion for Profit
''Perversion for Profit'' is a 1965 Eastmancolor propaganda film financed by Charles Keating and narrated by news reporter George Putnam. The film argues that sexually explicit materials corrupt young viewers and readers, leading to acts of violence and "perverted" attitudes regarding sex—including inclination toward homosexuality. Although ''Perversion for Profit'' is serious in its suggestion that pornography could erode the integrity of American culture, Peter L. Stein of the ''San Francisco Chronicle'' wrote in a 2003 review that it was "shrill and sometimes comical".〔
Today, ''Perversion for Profit'' is in the public domain, and it has become popular on the Prelinger Archives website and on YouTube. As Peter L. Stein observes in an article for the ''San Francisco Chronicle'', however, the film also has considerable historical significance, serving as a sort of time capsule of pornography from the era as well as an example of historical concerns regarding media influence:
...as the parade of girlie magazine covers, men's physique pictorials and campy S&M leaflets continues, the film betrays a kind of prurience the filmmakers could hardly have intended. What results is a remarkable visual record of midcentury underground literature and sexual appetites, and a gloss on the values of the society that condemned them.
At the time the ''Chronicle'' article was written, ''Perversion'' was the Prelinger Archive's second most popular download, superseded only by the well-known Cold War film ''Duck and Cover''. Like Stein, ephemeral film scholar Rick Prelinger, founder of the Archive, views such films as illuminating historical documents or what he calls "unofficial evidence of everyday life".〔
==Summary==
In 1965, Putnam narrated ''Perversion for Profit'', in which he warned viewers about magazines containing nudity and homosexual material, saying homosexuals were "perverted" and "misfits", as well as implying they were child molesters, and that they weakened U.S. "resistance to the Communist masters of deceit."〔Putman, George ''(Perversion for Profit )'', accessed 28 February 2015 "...psychiatrists believe that prolonged exposure of even the normal () male adult to this type of publication (magazines ), though he may not be aware of its true nature, will nevertheless pervert (). Think then, of the consequences to the inexperienced youth, who in purchasing and studying this material, becomes a pawn for these misfits – these homosexuals () today's conquest, they () say, is tomorrow's competition. (image of a young boy in a suggestive pose appears on screen ) See the tender age at which homosexuals prefer their conquest!"〕 The film was financed by Charles Keating.〔
