«Кушетка для кастинга» — это эвфемизм, обозначающий практику вымогательства сексуальных услуг от соискателя работы в обмен на работу в индустрии развлечений, в основном на актерские роли.
The Casting Couch (c. 1924), a classic title in the stag film genre, was an early depiction of the casting couch as a pornographic trope that later became mundane as it grew in popularity. In the sixteen-minute film, a casting director tells a young actress to wear a swimsuit during an audition, spies on her in a voyeuristic manner while she undresses in a different room, and enters the room to solicit sex from her. The actress initially rebuffs his advances with disgust, but returns to the director after taking advice from a book titled How to Become a Movie Star. She performs fellatio and vaginal intercourse in exchange for a role in his film; the latter takes place on a couch. The Casting Couch concludes with an intertitle that states, "the only way to become a star is to get under a good director and work your way up". Zimmer credited the film with popularizing the term casting couch.
Year of production is usually given as 1924, but it could have been produced as much as ten years later. Of course, this can never be known for sure since all original records, if indeed they were kept, have been lost.
A copy of this film survives in the Kinsey Institute of Sexual Research. Frame enlargements are included in the book Hollywood Babylon II by Kenneth Anger.
