This insightful documentary features some of the major and most beautiful actresses to grace the silver screen. It shows how the movie industry changed its depiction of sex and actresses' portrayal of sex from the silent-movie era to the present. Classic scenes are shown from the silent movie "True Heart Susie," starring Lillian Gish, to "Love Me Tonight" (1932), blending sex and sophistication, starring Jeanette MacDonald (pre-Nelson Eddy) and to Elizabeth Taylor in "A Place in the Sun" (1951), plus many, many more.
