Faced with the intractability of crime and street prostitution that the proliferation of pornography brings with it, Boston tried at least to keep it all in one place. The "combat zone," a two-block downtown area full of strip joints, peep shows and streetwalkers, was designated an Adult Entertainment District, and police tended to ignore "victimless crime." But in a few months the rate of street solicitation and crime, along with police corruption, rose alarmingly. After a Harvard football player was stabbed to death, the authorities had to crack down again...
When Michael G. Thevis was imprisoned in 1974 for interstate transportation of obscene material, lawmen figured they had put the flamboyant peep-show operator out of sight for some time. Not only was he sent to jail for 8½ years, but further investigations into his alleged Mob connections raised the possibility of new indictments.

And so last week, while a federal grand jury dutifully continued its probe into his racketeering, two more juries were investigating how on April 28 the paunchy, balding Thevis managed...

In Malle's hands, the film could be expected to either purge our inhibitions with sexual explicitness, or plague our consciences with subtle social commentary...
Happy finals and don't let your PEEP poop...
