Today’s edition of Fifty on Fridays we go back to New York City on December 4, 1970, which was a rather warm (for December in NY) 50 F, so I would bet the Christmas shopping was in full swing, and the tired and frustrated husbands might be sneaking away from an hours long marathon spree in Macy’s, up a few blocks to Times Square, to check out PURE PLEASURE at the Eros 1 or maybe THE POSTGRADUATE at the Cameo Art on 44th Street.
