Carnal Knowledge-when HBO came to town
Back in the 1970's HBO appeared in Puerto Rico. Up to that point TV was really conservative we had CBS, ABC, a local cable channel and the local channels. Suddenly we had this channel which featured nude scenes. It's hard to believe now, but this created quite a stir. Naked breasts on TV? Derrieres? It was the talk of the town. Everyone wanted HBO. And I remember that "Carnal Knowledge" was the movie that started the uproar. 'Did you see Ann-Margret in 'Carnal Knowledge' last night?" was the talk in the school hallways. A million adolescent fantasies were caused by this movie that today could almost be PG-13.
