# Talk Dirty to Me (film)

Talk Dirty to Me is a 1980 pornographic film written and directed by Anthony Spinelli and starring Jesie St. James, John Leslie, Richard Pacheco, Juliet Anderson, and Sharon Kane. Spinelli plays the role of "Herbie". The film is considered one of the seminal films of the latter part of the Golden Age of Porn.

The film was followed by more than a dozen sequels into the 2000s, though beyond the first five films, relevance to the original film and Leslie's character disappears. One sequel, Talk Dirty to Me Part III, is notable for featuring an early role by Traci Lords.
