AssCo Movie Night!

Way back in 1975, one of my favorite directors, Catherine Breillat, wrote the screenplay for Catherine et Cie (Catherine & Co.) about a prostitute (played by Miss Jane Birkin) who decides to incorporate. I haven't seen it (if Assco had an amazon wishlist, this would be on it) but according to the NY Times review:

Catherine is an English girl, played by Jane Birkin, who comes to Paris with a vague offer of a job. The job gets vaguer and she has to find a way to sleep and eat. Her first device has some ingenuity: she sleeps, literally, with a succession of rich men. The literally lies in her ability to get them talking about their businesses with such enthusiasm and at such length that ardor is virtually forgotten.

When this gimmick runs out, she allows herself to be kept, in more traditional French-farce fashion, by four men. She treats them as investors rather than clients, however, and allows herself to be kept as a kind of Common Market effort in venture capitalism. It all pays off handsomely, and love, independence and prosperity are more or less equally served in the end.

And according to the Celebrity Nudity Database (who knew??): Ms. Birkin does quite a bit of nude scenes in this movie. She has very small tits,but very attractive tits and a great ass. (Thanks, CNdb!)

Interesting fact about Miss Jane Birkin: it's her at age 21 making those naughty sounds with Brigitte Bardot on (her future husband) Serge Gainsbourg's "Je T'Aime...Moi Non Plus," originally on the 1969 album "Jane Birkin and Serge Gainsbourg," and later covered by the Pet Shop Boys, Cat Power, and Dzihan & Kamien.
