Hot Summer in the City

Hot Summer in the City is a 1976 American adult film about a white virgin who is abducted by a group of black militants.[1] The film's director is credited as "The Hare" on screen; for years, Gail Palmer publicly claimed to be the pseudonymous director, but in an unrelated trial against her former producing partner and companion Harry Mohney, she declared under oath she had not directed any films produced by Mohney which she received director credit for. "The Hare" is thus believed to be Harry Mohney himself, based on the similarities to his name. It is a co-production of Imperial Films with Mohney's Hare Films.
