Radley Metzger (also known as Radley Henry Metzger, Radley H. Metzger[1][6][7][10] and by the pseudonyms, "Jake Barnes", "Erich Farina" and "Henry Paris")[8][9][10][11] (January 21, 1929 – March 31, 2017)[2][4][18] was an American pioneering filmmaker[2][19][20] and film distributor, most noted for popular artistic, adult-oriented films,[2][21][22][23] including Camille 2000 (1969), The Lickerish Quartet (1970), Score (1974), The Private Afternoons of Pamela Mann (1974), The Image (1975) and The Opening of Misty Beethoven (1976).[24][25][26] According to one film reviewer, Metzger's films, including those made during the Golden Age of Porn, are noted for their "lavish design, witty screenplays, and a penchant for the unusual camera angle".[23] Another reviewer noted that his films were "highly artistic — and often cerebral ... and often featured gorgeous cinematography".[24] Film and audio works by Metzger have been added to the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City
