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 sexincluding 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.

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. The film was financed by Charles Keating.To support his position, Putnam refers to Dr. Pitirim Sorokin, the renowned Harvard sociologist, a RussianAmerican who founded Harvards Sociology department and served as the American Sociological Associations 55th president. ........
