This 1965 film from the Citizens for Decent Literature is a blistering screed against the tempting evil available on newsstands. “Perversion for Profit” was financed by Charles Keating and narrated by news reporter George Putnam. It’s fun, in its way, but it’s also an example of the conservative mindset that would soon be further challenged by court cases defending the right to send homosexual material through the mail.
I love when it gets to this frame, about 9 minutes into the clip. At this point, my Hot Type Club reference collection is extensive enough that I’m pretty certain I own every issue shown below.
