The Endangered List (Case File #140) -- Found!


PATTY, an exploitation sex film inspired by the Patty Hearst case, exists in three different versions: the R-rated, the soft-X, and the hardcore. The negative for all three was rescued from a condemned movie theater in New Jersey almost seven years ago and sold on eBay to a DVD company on January 14, 2008. A DVD/Blu-ray will hopefully come out sometime soon.
