...McGee mixture is an agreeable blend of boat lore, suspense, machismo, sex and lighthearted sadism. The Scarlet Ruse turns on the theft of $500,000 worth of rare postage stamps. In The Turquoise Lament, McGee learns that a thieving Florida lawyer blocks the forward progress of justice-and of the plot. He invades the miscreant's country estate, eases him from the middle of a disgraceful orgy, binds him and drops him live into a freshly dug backwoods grave-a marvel of vengeful fantasy. Lawyers are the schoolyard bullies of modern society, against whom no ordinary child dares battle...
While the new code legalizes so-called "soft porn," it bans hard-core films and literature depicting acts of sadism, bestiality and child molesting, and punishes what it calls "glorification of brutality and incitement to racial hatred on television" with stiff fines and prison terms of up to a year. The sale of soft porn will be restricted to persons over 18, and banned from places frequented by minors.

The book is clever, but its consistent facetiousness allows the author to avoid facing a basic fact: however one chooses to view it, in pimping there is always one party who gets a raw deal...

He then recounted to Houston police an incredible tale of horror, homosexual sadism and mass murder in which he, Corll and a third accomplice, David Owen Brooks, 18, had taken part during the past three years...
Neither suspenseful nor novel enough in its action sequences to make it as an adventure film, Crude is also not funny enough to make it as a comedy. Director Kramer and Writer Norman attempt to jerk it to life with sadism (Dunaway beaten almost to death by Palance's mob), vulgarity (Scott urinating on Palance's boots during one of their confrontations) and an excess of bawdy language. But the prissy and self-consciously liberal Kramer seems, in this attempt at lustiness, rather like a college chaplain deliberately swearing in order to seem like one of the boys...
