'Lovelace: The Rock Opera' gets past the porn

In 1972, a newlywed named Linda Boreman spent six days in Florida making a low-budget porn film about a woman who can't orgasm. The director was a salon owner who decided to make blue movies after hearing his female customers complain about their husbands' bedroom techniques. The male lead had been part of the lighting crew until the producers realized they couldn't find anyone else.
