Perversion for Profit (1965)
"Perversion for Profit" is a 1965 Eastmancolor sexploitation propaganda film 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 sex - including inclination toward homosexuality.
The narrator goes on to warn viewers about magazines containing nudity and homosexual material, saying gay people 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, who would later be convicted of fraud, racketeering and conspiracy. He served four and a half years in prison before those convictions were overturned in 1996. In 1999, he pleaded guilty to a more limited set of wire fraud and bankruptcy fraud counts, and was sentenced to the time he had already served. Keating spent his final years in low-profile real estate activities until his death in 2014.
