Wouldn't a Cute Porn Version Be...

Since we no longer "pan to the window" when couples start kissing, I'd love to be involved in a project where we film just what Cory and Paul did for those six days without leaving the room. I'd bet she walked around in his dress shirt, and I think she'd be kissing him alot. Even the future head of NBC network, Brandon Tartikoff, said to an interviewer, "there IS a lot of kissing in this movie". He was a theater usher at a New York cinema in 1967.

Since there's this current theme of revisioning 'everything's gay' in entertainment, like Dr. Smith from 1965's Lost in Space as a gay, child molester, the Skipper and Gilligan were gay, etc...perhaps Cory could be called an "untreated nypmphomaniac" and is using Paul's lips to self medicate!

LOL, that's funny. I think that she WAS a nypmpho. I mean sure they were just married, but she was pushing it a bit! By the way, how did they get food if they never opened the door?

How did they get food? She wanted to die in his arms was the concept there. Corie (there I spelled it right) needed Paul's lips to feel good about things, and that makes her an addict by today's standards--they'd call it Oscular Disfunction and already have a drug treatment for it.

She's addicted to kissing and stands out in a hallway knowing people are watching, which qualifies as being an exhibitionist, where she literally begs
to be kissed harder and harder. For 1967, this is really hot stuff.

By Italian standards, it's less hot. There's this 1967 film called "Fiero" where the lead female character must have prolonged, extended makeout sessions with men. Watching this from the audience level must've been exceedingly squirmy, but heck we've got DVD's now!

I think the reason she was addicted to making out is because it's Robert Redford- wouldn't anyone be that way?!

She adored making out with him, especially in Central Park and other New York places. Can you imagine being a mutual friend of theirs during their courtship? You'd be constantly looking at them making it in public, eeewww...now privately with my camera ready, that's a different matter.

Actually, I think I would be okay with Redford making out with anyone...publicly OR privately!
