I love
Desert Hearts
. One of my favorite Lez themed films and excellent performances.
I haven't seen
Personal Best
for yonks. I was surprised when I first saw it how ballsy it was. I didn't even know it was about Lesbians and I only went because there wasn't much else on to see and that it was R16 and I wasn't old enough….
PB also had the best of both worlds with nudity and wasn't afraid to offend.
I've always been fond of
The Killing Of Sister George - 68'
. A bit of trimming and the film could have been better for it too.
I didn't like
High Art
. I saw it at a film festival when first released.
Norman! What did you put in my tea? -

The floodgates opened as soon as the rating system went into effect.
The Fox
(1967) had some bold nude scenes in it for a film of that time period along with a lengthy maturation scene
There were many sexploitation films made in the 60s that often included lesbian scenes
Way too many to list…here are some examples -
Are you okay? -

I thought "The Killing of Sister George" was offbeat and interesting.
I haven't seen "The Fox". I cannot picture Sandy Dennis being sexual in any way, though she was a very good actress.

The Children's Hour (1961) AudHep (Audrey Hepburn) & Shirley MacLaine. Taken from Lillian Hellman's stage play I believe.
You may find that stage plays usually preceded movies in broaching daring topics.
BTW, I sorta disagree that in the '30s there were no more than hints. Have you explored pre-code films? Have you explored 1920s avante-garde cinema?
