The twentieth century
saw a constant battle between the entertainment industry and the censors,
particularly when it came to the X-rated movie. From the late 1950s
to the mid 1970s, a majority of adult movies released in America were
porn or stag movies. These were produced abroad, often in Scandinavia
and the Far East, and many were classified as Art Movies in an attempt
to circumvent the censors. X-rated movies were shown in very few screens in America and even fewer cinemas would have displayed their posters. As a result, hardly any posters were printed; typically, barely a handful of each are known to have survived. Indeed, we sometimes come across an X-rated poster but cannot find any details of the movie it is advertising. Perhaps more so than mainstream movie posters, X-rated posters reveal what was really going on in society at that time. |

X-rated movie poster designs are
imaginative and diverse. Though their execution can be primitive,
this simply adds to their charm. When coupled with risqué and
often witty taglines, the posters are a winning mixture of the amusing
and the stylish. The posters were frequently vague and misleading to audiences. Director Radley Metzger, for example, imported foreign movies such as Days Of Sin And Nights Of Nymphomania (Mellem Venner – Holland, 1963) and The Weird Love Makers (Kyonetsu No Kisetsu – Japan, 1964) but then marketed them as American films to ensure their appeal to a wider audience. The poster for The Weird Love Makers uses simple graphics with an intriguing tagline: 'They do everything'. Such slogans promised far more than the movies themselves could ever deliver. |
