The Tale of Tiffany Lust

The Tale of Tiffany Lust, also known as Body Lust, is a 1979 American pornographic film. It was directed by Radley Metzger but credited for convenience to French director and occasional Metzger collaborator Gérard Kikoïne, who may have served as an advisor. The film was shot in several locations in New York City. It opened in France on 27 June 1979 under the title Dolly l'initiatrice, but was not released in the U.S. until 1981.

The Tale of Tiffany Lust is related to Kikoïne's Aphrodesia's Diary, also shot in New York in 1979 with the same imported French stars, Dominique Saint Claire and Morgane. The two films also have French cinematographer Gérard Loubeau and, less remarkably, American actors and technicians in common. It is probable that they were made consecutively in Winter-Spring 1979. The international cast and crew assembled for Kikoïne's big-budget French-American co-production Aphrodesia were probably reused for Metzger's Tiffany, itself quite lavish by pornographic standards.

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

Premise
