The Opening of Misty Beethoven

Published on 8 years

In a few weeks, the fortieth anniversary of this classic will be upon us. Released in March 1976 in the wake of Gerard Damiano's The Devil in Miss Jones (his follow up to the most profitable movie--of any kind--in history: Deep Throat) Misty Beethoven also adapted a classic piece of literature (Miss Jones is Faust), by rethinking Shaw's Pygmalion as an erotic movie. Still considered among the best ever produced.
