Naked Ambition - DVD

Gina Lollobrigida, Anthony Franciosa and Ernest Borgnine star in this engrossing drama about a young man's love for a call girl. The son of a domineering businessman (Borgnine), Nick Stratton (Franciosa) boasts he "could make love in 12 languages," but nothing prepares him for Julie Cameron (Lollobrigida), the woman who steals his heart. Seeing her as beautiful and innocent, Nick is shocked to discover that Julie is a high-priced hooker

Bunny Yeager, once heralded as the world's prettiest photographer, had a huge influence on 20th-century pop culture, though few people know her name. Whether by popularizing the bikini, helping discover Bettie Page, shaping the image of Playboy, or inventing the selfie, Bunny was a trailblazer whose work bucked against conservative 1950s America and helped pave the way for the feminist movement and the sexual revolution. Yet the very changes she helped usher in would soon render her a forgotten relic... until now. Featuring testimonies from Dita Von Teese, Bruce Weber, and Larry King, Naked Ambition is a rediscovery of a brilliant yet overlooked artist.

Combines a rich medley of ragtime, blues, 19th century classical and early jazz tunes with the the pre-recorded voices of musicians who played there and E.J. Bellocq's racy photographs of Storyville's prostitutes, turn-of-the-century erotica and nickelodeon Inchpeep shows.Inch Running Time 60 Minutes (2000)
