" The New York Times called the last act its best part simply for having far more action than the previous sequences. The A.V.

Stein observes in an article for the San Francisco Chronicle, however, the film also has considerable historical significance, serving as a sort of time capsule of pornography from the era as well as an example of historical concerns regarding media influence: > ... as the parade of girlie magazine covers, men's physique pictorials and > campy S&M; leaflets continues, the film betrays a kind of prurience the > filmmakers could hardly have intended. What results is a remarkable visual > record of midcentury underground literature and sexual appetites, and a > gloss on the values of the society that condemned them. At the time the Chronicle article was written, Perversion was the Prelinger Archive's second most popular download, superseded only by the well-known Cold War film Duck and Cover.
