Fiction -- Bibliography; Paraphilias in literature -- Bibliography
SIGN OF THE RAM, a filming circa 1947 of the Margaret Ferguson novel,
starred Susan Peters as the wheelchaired heroine; the “crush” between
Leah and Christine was treated vaguely but recognizably to anyone who
had read the book.
TIME OF DESIRE. “Much has been made of the Uranian aspect of this film
but personally I couldn’t see it....” LJE
TORST ("Thirst") directed by Ingmar Bergman, is supposed to tell the
lives of three women strangely in love, including a lesbian. As yet none
of your editors or contributors have seen the film.
TURNABOUT, the Thorne Smith sex-farce where a man’s ego is transmuted
into a woman’s body.
TITLE UNKNOWN; 1950 or 1951; French with English subtitles; action took
place in a girl’s reformatory, much reference to lesbianism and some
overt scenes; one where a girl caressed the breast of another and
whispered love words to her, another where a tough street type tells a
young innocent “See these marks on my thighs, they are each the marks of
a lover, the left leg for boys and the right for girls.” I don’t see any
other way to interpret that scene. (GD)
THE END, OF COURSE, IS NOT YET.
