Oh, but Lionel Atwill’s troubles went way beyond Frankensteins monster.
All women love the men they fear.
All women kiss the hand that rules them…
I do not treat women in such soft fashion.
Women are cat creatures.
Lionel Atwill said that in 1941, and lets just say his timing could have been a little better.
On a lighter and more head-scratching note, one newspaper credited Atwill as the man who discovered Joseph Sternberg.
Whoever the source may be, the details are inevitably fuzzy.
Whats certain is that Atwill was at least showing stag films to the gathered revelers.
Some of them may have thrown their clothes off before writhing about on a tiger skin rug.
Some of them may have been underage.
And one of those possibly underage partygoers may have been raped.
The only certainty is that porn loops were being screened, though precisely which loops has never been detailed.
But it wasnt the sentence itself that was preventing him from working, it was the Hays Office.
