Mona (also promoted as Mona; the Virgin Nymph) is a 1970 American pornographic film directed by Michael Benveniste and Howard Ziehm, produced by Bill Osco, and starring Judy Angel, Gerard Broulard, Orrin North, Susan Stewart and Fifi Watson. The film was screened without credits due to legal concerns.[2] It is regarded as the second sexually explicit film to receive a general theatrical release in the United States, after Andy Warhol's Blue Movie (1969). However, unlike Blue Movie (which was shot without a script), Mona had a plot, though there was more emphasis on the action.[3]
Mona helped pave the way for other films containing unsimulated sex scenes (both penetrative and non-penetrative) that subsequently appeared in theaters, during the Golden Age of Porn (1969–1984); and was a big influence on later films of the genre. Deep Throat (1972), for example, borrowed elements of Mona's plot.[4]
Earnings, believed to be $2 million, helped finance the directors' 1974 film Flesh Gordon. The team also produced Harlot (1971), and Osco later backed the similarly explicit Alice in Wonderland (1976).
