The Private Afternoons of Pamela Mann

1974, dir. Radley Metzger (as Henry Paris)


“The most astounding motion picture since motion pictures began!”

Pamela Mann (Barbara Bourbon) is a therapist who spends her afternoons both checking in with her clients and hooking up with the various strangers she meets around Manhattan. The only problem? Her husband (Alan Marlow) suspects she’s up to no good, so he’s hired a private eye named Frank (Eric Edwards) to tail her and document her indiscretions. But will Frank get in the way of Pamela’s busy schedule, or is there more to her husband’s assignment than meets the eye?

Radley Metzger’s first full-on foray into hardcore filmmaking under the name “Henry Paris,” The Private Afternoons of Pamela Mann is a charmingly sophisticated sex comedy filled with all of the acclaimed filmmaker’s trademark wit and lush visuals—plus lots of redeeming social value to keep the censors away.
