The Dark Side of Tomorrow


The Dark Side of Tomorrow is a 1970 exploitation film about two bored suburban housewives who begin an affair while their husbands are away on business. Things take a turn when one of them decides to become involved with a young man from their neighborhood. To one woman, it was just a fling; the other, it was more serious.
It was re-released in 1975 as Just the Two of Us.

Cast

The film was financed by an Israeli investor who wanted an X-rated sex film. Director Barbara Peeters changed the storyline to center around a lesbian relationship. She feels the fact it was from a female director was significant. "If you are going to involve yourself in subjects that heretofore have been taboo, the first moves in that direction should be as close to reality as possible", she said.
