"Really enjoyed this one. A Life in Dirty Movies does a great job exploring a fascinating career and time in filmmaking without losing the personal side of the story. It is informative, entertaining, and genuinely interesting throughout. Definitely one of those documentaries that leaves you wanting to dig deeper afterward, and I am very glad to have it in this edition."
"Revealing, sometimes poignant, documentary about the careers of Joe and Peggy Sarno, who's arty, sex melodramas have gained a cult following. An unexpected delight. Comes with a highly informative booklet. A highly recommended release."
"I’ve always been fascinated by the low budget filmmakers of the 1960s and 1970s, especially when 42nd street had the reputation that it did. This is such a heartfelt film about one such filmmaker during such odd times."
"A great documentary on the last years of sexploitation director Joe Sarno, and the love story between him and his wife, Peggy, who is an absolute rock and adores him. She does everything she can to let him make his films. Of course the documentary also covers their earlier lives and careers, but it's their ongoing relationship at the time of the doc's production that really resonates. A terrific film."
"Great documentary that goes well with a deep dive into Sarno's work (which I am doing). Highly recommend picking up The Bed and How to Make It and Nude in Charcoal as well (especially while they are in print). This doc is way more fun than I thought it would be. The Sarnos are real unique salt of the earth type people who made some great "dirty movies. ""
"Watched this in preparation for digging into some Sarno flicks. A great retrospective with context to help your appreciation of his work"
"Picked up this release during the V-Day and totally caught me by surprise with how good it is! Has quite a few interviews in the extras too!"
"Really interesting doc on the Sarnos. Worth checking out for that alone."
"Great little doc for Sarno fans."
"Lovely package and tribute to Joe Sarno here"
