The late 1970s might be said to be an era of depraved chic, of the beauty of torment.

Often, a tender side was shown, either with the attacker caressing the victim or the victim appearing thankful for the abuse.

I remember when I first saw this movie on TV as a teenager, that freaked me out.
I was a sensitive child and didn't get out much.
