Wakefield Poole's Bible

Wakefield Poole's Bible (stylized on-screen as Wakefield Poole's Bible!, and often simply referred to as Bible!) is an 1973 American softcore pornographic anthology film written and directed by Wakefield Poole. The film presents the biblical stories of Adam and Eve, David and Bathsheba, and Samson and Delilah in the form of pornographic vignettes, and stars Bo White, Caprice Couselle, Georgina Spelvin, Nicholas Flammel, Brahm van Zetten, and Gloria Grant. It is the only straight pornographic film to be directed by Poole, who was primarily a director of gay pornography. Cast Little people Willie and Kathy Hermine play Delilah's servants. Production Writer-director Wakefield Poole avidly studied the Bible as a child, and wanted to tell three stories from the Old Testament from a female perspective, as he felt that biblical narratives often cast women in a negative light. He wanted to make the film without dialogue, instead staging it to a musical composition, à la "an adult Fantasia." Poole initially wanted to cast Charles Ludlam and Lola Pashalinski respectively as David and Bathsheba, but after encountering creative differences with Ludlam, Poole instead cast Georgina Spelvin as Bathsheba and his neighbor John Horn as David. In order to protect his career, Horn was credited as "Nicholas Flammel".
