"The Good Old Naughty Days"

Brilliantly rude French porn from 1905-1930, all in black and white with an endless succession of short scenarios featuring threesomes, dogs nurses, nuns and prostitutes.


"It is quite boring actually, although it is quite explicit. It is a sequence of short films and they tend to get a bit repetitive, although they have tried to bring in a dog, and then some nuns, to make it more interesting." Commenting on concern for the animal’s welfare he is quick to claim that the animal is not being abused, adding: "It is not forced to do anything. It appears to be a willing partner."

It features a dozen hardcore shorts made between 1905 and 1930 which Reilhac says show that the modern porn industry "did not invent anything - everything had already been filmed by our great-grandparents".


Rev John Tait of Pilrig St Paul’s Church says the film sounds [?] "disgusting" and brands any move to show it "unacceptable". He is calling for the clergy to be involved in the decision on whether or not to screen the film, but adds: "I do not believe that it should be shown in a cinema."



And Rev James Dewar of Juniper Green adds: "I don’t think it is good or right for people to see this kind of film . . . I should think that the Christian view in Edinburgh is that it should not be shown."

Inglan then, Inglan now, Inglan tomorrow- progress? nil points!
