X-Rated : The Mitchell brothers : A True Story of Sex, Money, and Death
Quarto in black and grey illus jacket: 464 pages : illustrations ; 25 cm index "Set against a background of drugs and sexual obsession, X-Rated is a shocking contemporary Cain and Abel story. It bares the roots of a dark family conflict that exploded into tragedy when sex impresario Jim Mitchell killed his brother and partner, Artie ... and re-creates the gripping murder trial that followed. The Mitchell Brothers of San Francisco were icons of the sexual revolution, fighting and winning hundreds of legal battles to keep the doors open at their. World-famous O'Farrell Theatre, dubbed "the Carnegie Hall of Sex" by Hunter S. Thompson. Their film Behind the Green Door made them millionaires in their twenties, and changed the billion-dollar adult-film industry forever. But money didn't buy them happiness. Instead, it fueled Artie Mitchell's plunge into alcohol, drugs, and sex, which came to a bloody climax when gentle Jim finally snapped and killed his abusive brother. Acclaimed journalist David McCumber paints a. Vivid picture of the world of pornography, revealing a male-dominated business built on the bodies of women. Drawing on accounts from the people closest to the Mitchells, who have never before told their stories, he captures the lives of these brilliant, mercurial pioneers of porn, in a masterly tracing of the brothers' relationship as it spiraled from triumph to fratricide. X-Rated is a graphic expose that bares the truth about the men and women of the sex industry as. Well as a sad tale of brotherly love gone awry. This is true crime at its explicit best."ó Publisher. / Criminals -- California -- San Francisco -- Biography. Murderers -- California -- San Francisco -- Biography.

Her fantastic lifestyle was financed by an ever widening spiral of loans, promisory notes and forgeries drawn on banks from New York city to Oberlin, Ohio and when her financial empire collapsed the shock waves reverberated through the banking world. Some of the greatest financiers in America found themselves mentioned at Mrs. Chadwick's trial.... 240p.plates.Neat crisp copy, but a small squsre cut out from ffep, else fine Book
