They ran the new venture from their apartment in the Camelot building on 45th St, and before long it was even profiled in a national magazine. Pamela had been afraid of the publicity that the magazine might bring – after all she was from a good Jewish family in Brooklyn and few knew about her new life. But Alex persuaded her in the same way he always did. Call it his unique blend of charm and intimidation. Hell, he told her it might even help resurrect her fading singing career. On June 28th 1972, ‘Variety’, the film industry newspaper, reviewed a recently released adult film, ‘ Deep Throat’, with the headline: “Hardcore Hetero Sex Feature with Humor Tops In Current Market”. Strictly speaking, explicit hard-core films were not new to the grindhouses of New York and California. What had changed was that it was now suddenly acceptable – fashionable even – to watch and discuss them.

The film was shot in six days in the summer of 1974; interiors were mainly filmed in a couple of apartments, whilst externals were nearly all shot in the Grand Army Plaza on the south east edge of Central Park. The striking General Motors building which dominates the east side of the square is used as Mr. Mann’s office, and the Plaza Hotel which faces it is used as the location for the politician’s speech where Pamela Mann appears at the window and sees the private investigator hired to follow her. I asked him if he remembers enjoying the experience of making ‘Pamela Mann’, and he insisted it wasn’t remotely pleasurable – before qualifying that he never really enjoyed the shooting of any of his films. It was typically too stressful, there was too much to think about, and too much that could go wrong. When I pushed him though, he admited to a small sense of nostalgia saying, “Like your first born, you never forget your first porn”.

Then the film came out, and Pamela remembers her family and friends asking about it. Was it based on her? Was she involved in sex films? Pamela played it down but by then it too late. Her cover was blown.Radley figured the audience would want to see a fresh new face in the lead role, so chose Barbara Bourbon; it proved to be smart casting as she perfectly embodies the happy and carefree character. On set Radley remembers her professionalism and good-humored approach, despite the fact she needed a healthy shot of Gran Marnier before the sex scene with Marc Stevens.
