Last week, Eight Forty-Eight looked at the business end of modern pornography by taking the pulse of Playboy Enterprises. Tuesday, Eight Forty-Eight revisited a conversation about some pornography closer to home. Back in 1976, Robert Flaxman and Daniel Goldman released the film A Labor of Love. Labor is not a porn flick, but a documentary about the making of one called The Last Affair. So how did two filmmakers, not at all involved in porn, end up making a documentary about one? Flaxman and Goldman discussed the project with Eight Forty-Eight.
