    An orange is peeled and eaten--and it's one of the most erotic movies ever made!

    I first saw this short film as part of a college tour of independent short films in the late 1960s. It consists solely of music accompanying shots in extreme close-up of an orange being peeled and eaten. The texture of the fruit's flesh, the sensuous color, and the physicality of the action make this simple movie one of the most erotic ever made. I don't know much about Karen Johnson, but when she was interviewed on Dick Cavett's talk show (way back when), ABC refused to allow the film to be shown!
