Barbara Broadcast is an American adult erotic film released in 1977. The film was directed by Radley Metzger (as "Henry Paris")^[1]^[2] and filmed in several elaborate locations in New York City, including the Olympia ballroom and restaurant in the Royal Manhattan Hotel.^[3]^[4]

Plot

Barbara Broadcast, a world-famous liberated woman and best-selling author, is interviewed by a journalist about her successful career in an elegant Manhattan hotel restaurant, where gourmet food and erotic activities are on the menu:^[5]^[6] a surrealistic "Buñuelian" atmosphere, according to one film reviewer.^[7] Afterwards, other Manhattan moments in New York City are featured, including a corporate office encounter and a casual meeting in a busy night club.^[5]^[6]

Reception

According to an X-Critic film reviewer, Barbara Broadcast is "... a playful, funny and beautifully made film for grownups, a celebration of carnality and earthly delights shot with an artist’s eye for composition and set to an excellent [music] score ...".^[9] Barbara Broadcast, according to another reviewer, "... is a fun, witty, and charming film ...".^[10] Another reviewer notes, " ... [the film has] plenty of electric atmosphere and [music] ... This is porno chic! ..."^[11] Paracinema film critic Heather Drain writes, "Metzger’s work is known for its eye candy and this film is no exception, with every frame looking like a perfectly composed piece of art ... Barbara Broadcast may not be heavy on plot, but is an exquisitely crafted film from one of the best American directors to have emerged [since the 1970s] ... Radley Metzger is truly one of a kind."^[4]

History

Barbara Broadcast was released during the Golden Age of Porn (inaugurated by the 1969 release of Andy Warhol's Blue Movie) in the United States, at a time of "porno chic",^[12]^[13] in which adult erotic films were just beginning to be widely released, publicly discussed by celebrities (like Johnny Carson and Bob Hope)^[14] and taken seriously by film critics (like Roger Ebert).^[15]^[16]

Notes

According to one film reviewer, Radley Metzger's films, including those made during the Golden Age of Porn (1969–1984), are noted for their "lavish design, witty screenplays, and a penchant for the unusual camera angle".^[17] Another reviewer noted that his films were "highly artistic — and often cerebral ... and often featured gorgeous cinematography".^[18] Film and audio works by Metzger have been added to the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City.^[19]^[20]^[21]^[22]

Restoration

On July 4, 2013, DistribPix released a restoration of the film, with the cooperation of the director.^[7] The result had a limited exhibition in theaters, but the main outcome of the project was the first official DVD and Blu-ray versions.^[5] A listing of the music on the film soundtrack was released earlier.^[23]^[24]
