  07.21.2004 1978. Review a porn flick -- just for a kick Providence College dorm fire claims 10 lives Rolling Stones get no satisfaction in R.I. Watkins’ watch: Circulation, computers ’73 strike called over retroactive pay Blizzard of ’78 shuts down state, not Journal presses Nixon to Journal:‘I’m not a crook’ Journal first to report Nixon’s resignation A sure bet: Journal antes up for Pete Rose On Jan. 27, 1978, The Providence Journal reviewed a pornographic movie, probably the first, last and only time a Journal reviewer has ventured into X-rated territory -- at least on company time. Reviewer Michael Janusonis attributed his decision to "the fact that it's been a slow period moviewise, that the weather had turned rainy and that curiosity had got the better of me." Janusonis found a "spare plot" in what was supposed to be the true memoir of porn star Jennifer Welles, directed by and starring her. "This movie shows, if nothing else, that the life of a porno princess can sure be exhausting," Janusonis wrote. One line of Janusonis' review wound up in the advertisement for the film at The Strand, in Providence: "It will probably knock your socks off." |
