first porn movie

[anthons]

Hi, anybody know what the first porn movie from UK was???

[Len801]

I doubt anyone knows. From what era?
It is difficult enough to determine what the first mainstream film would be for every nation in the world, let alone an "illicit" product like porn.
People were not exactly adverstising in theater marquees: "Now Playing. First porn film in UK!!!!"

What the Butler Saw

Not listed in the BGAFD database or anywhere else. What are the details?

What the Butler saw


The first porn movie would have been one of these, as for the title, your guess is as good as mine.

[Len801]

It is described as being a "softcore" reel, made a century ago!!!
Want to take another stab at it, and provide better info, this time?
People do not need to guess. Either you know or you don't know.

What the Butler Saw was a very popular Mutoscope reel, and an early example of softcore pornography. (Mutoscopes were coin-in-the-slot devices by which an individual could view a short motion picture.) (source: Wikipedia)

I do appologise for my lack of knowledge of 1894 softcore What the Butler saw Reels. I wonder if I'll help you next time you ask.....no, I don't think I will.

Oh yes and given the fact that there are four contenders for the first ever R18 and that was only a few years ago, that's the best you are going to get.

Twunt.
