Alex de Renzy's visit to Sex-69, the first annual trade sex-fair in Copenhagen, Denmark, after the legalization of adult pornography there, resulted in a few films turned there:
- Dansk sexualitet (1969), also known as Censorship in Denmark (USA) and Sexual Freedom in Denmark (USA) - Alex de Renzy, M.C. von Hellen
- A History of the Blue Movie (1970)
- Pornography in Denmark (1970)
Legacy
In April 1975, a leftist government took hold in France and abolished censorship. This momentous occasion was celebrated by a showing of American Alex De Renzy's History of the Blue Movie [1970], which broke French boxoffice records by selling a quarter million tickets. Seeing there was money to be made, France then began making its own hardcore films in earnest, paralleling the rise of porno chic in the United States. --http://www.alphabluearchives.com/euro.html [Jun 2004]
