DESCRIPTION:

Six of Europe's finest directors trace the evolution of prostitution from the Stone Age to the Space Age in The Oldest Profession (Le plus vieux me tier du monde, 1967), a saucy, star-studded omnibus film made up of: Franco Indovina's The Prehistoric Era - Michele Mercier seduces Neanderthal Man with cave paint as makeup; Mauro Bolognini's Roman Nights - The Emperor discovers that he is paying for what his wife, Elsa Martinelli, is selling; Philippe de Broca's Mademoiselle Mimi - Jeanne Moreau's latest client is more interested in the guillotine than her charms; Michael Pfleghar's The Gay Nineties - Raquel Welch masquerades as an honest woman for the love and wallet of an elderly banker; Claude Autant-Lara's Paris Today - France Anglade and Nadia Gray turn tricks by ambulance; Jean-Luc Godard's Anticipation - A man from outer space is taught in the ways of sentimental love by Anna Karina.
