The movie is from 1975 and French. Other than that I'm not sure.
I have to say the book had a more powerful effect on me than any book I've read in a while. It really grabbed my imagination, although the ending (non ending) was unsatisfying.

Yes I have a few of the Gor Novels by John Norman and frankly they reminded somewhat of those old Greek, Roman and Barbarian movies from back in the 60's.One distinction here to keep in mind,is that these Gor Novels were written by John Norman.There is an author out there by the name of Jack Norman,who happens to write some rather intense S&M themed novels.Just to confuse the similarity in names is the fact that one of Jack Norman's novels is titled "The Gorean Club".
For those into post apocalyptic scenarios ,Jack Norman wrote a novel titled "2084" . In this one the surviving "haves" build a protective dome to keep out the surviving "have nots" and within this dome,slavery is institutionalized and also is widely practiced by the "have nots" outside the dome.Caught in the middle of all this is Leila Ashe,who finds herself enslaved by the high tech enslavement methods in the dome and then falls under the hands of the "have nots".
Another novel that delves more into the near future is "Emily's Debt" by JJ Argus.In this one "Emily",a young female college grad has a huge college loan to pay back and no job with which to pay back these loans.Indebtedness has become so prevalent in this near future economy,that laws are passed wherby debtors can be arrested and forced to work off their debts.Emily winds being sold to a former classmate who has become a lawyer,one who pushes the limits of the debt slavery laws with some his sadistic demands he imposes on Emily.

As an old leftie I have more trouble with the idea of economic slavery than that involving brute force. My late wife and I used to subscribe to a BDSM newsletter (the old paper kind,) and we regularly got into fights with other members about their taste for "raped by the boss" stories: as an office worker she didn't find anything erotic about sexual harrassment at work.
But that's just my taste, and we all have our own cutoff points.

Oh better far to live and die under the brave black flag I fly,
Than play a sanctimonious part with a pirate head and a pirate heart.

Well certainly Leo9,I can appreciate your late wife not preferring this sort of story as featured in "Emily's Debt".Matter of fact,I never post suggestions on titles with the expectation that everyone will like every title suggested.
