1950/60s erotica. Females abandoned to indiscriminate lewdness.
"As a class, lewd women are gross, low-lived, debased, wicked, and totally depraved throughout. By nature, and as long as they remained pure sexually, they were as spotless as other virgins; but it was sexual impurity alone which changed them from angels into demons." Creative and Sexual Science 1870

TOTP 30th December 1971

The original TOTP audio is very poor, and to do credit to this wonderful song I've replaced it with the single version. The chorus on the single (recorded at EMI Studios) is identical with this performance - I suspect it's the same people involved because it looks authentically 'live'. Brian Keith sang live (and partly out of sync with the single but, fortunately, most of it out of shot). My source video isn't the best quality (the best copy is in private hands) and already had a botched 'restoration' done on it, hence the mask-like faces in the chorus. I've removed compression and noise artefacts, and increased the frame rate for 'smooth-motion'.

The older girl who plays with dolls is like the younger woman who keeps her virginity, strangely fascinating. Other adjectives - compelling, touching, reassuring - describe a world where the oft-parroted "gender is a social construct" in reference to that peculiarly distinguishing mark of the devil, feminism, had yet to rear its diseased head. Perhaps the most affecting image is the memento mori or post-mortem photograph.
"...the contrast presented by the noisy activity of the boys in their games of soldier and coachmen, and the tender self-forgetfulness of the little girls with their dolls." The Kindergarten for Teachers and Parents 1887
