What do you mean for "Italian porn movie"?
If you mean shot in Italy, then there's none, since the first director to shoot hardcore on Italian soil was Joe D'Amato around 1981/82.
If you mean hardcore shot by an Italian director, look for stuff by Lasse Braun, like the legendary "Body Love".
If you mean softcore shot on Italian locations, then there are literally thousands of them. I am not an expert of these, but you can start looking for anything with actresses like Barbara Bouchet, Edwige Fenech, Gloria Guida.

Hardcore movie versions started being produced in Italy in the '70's, both for foreign markets and clandestine screenings (which became almost regular in some parts of country starting at least in 1977). The most famous among these is probablyD'Amato's Emmanuelle in America. The uncut version can be found in p2p. Check also Immagini di un convento, always D'Amato's, which is a borderline porn.

Hard-core in France started around 1975, and it was routine in those years to import films from Italy, Germany, Britain and elsewhere and spice them up by adding hard-core inserts. Joe D'Amato was doing this to his films and inserting hard-core sequences for export purposes in late 1970's. Marina Hedman and others were contributing to these inserts at the time before they went out full throttle in early 1980's.

Hardcore scenes for regular movies were made before 1975. There were other markets, before France, like Far East and South America.

Would be interested in hearing more.
Are you saying there were hard-core movies being shown in South America (you mean Brazil, Argentina perhaps?).
Far East?? Which country in Far East, and what movies are we talking about?
I know Argentina had a history of producing and showing stag movies early in the century, and Cuban grindhouses showed hard-core films in the 1950's, but what else?

In Thailand there were public showings and, though I can't be more definite on south america, more than a director and performer, when asked, said there were markets over there. I can't also exclude that the USA market wouldn't have been taken into consideration, as there the pornography was legalized just after Danemark. There's also the possibility that the "foreign markets" destination was an excuse and that the production was intended for clandestine national distribution. Anyway, movies in double version were produced before porn was legalized in France (where, though, porn versions of movies were clandestinely shown, in provincial towns expecially, well before 1975).

You are making a lot of assertions Walter, without being definite or giving examples. I doubt Asian countries were allowing porn in the early-mid 1970's, although nightlife and prostitution were quite big. As for Latin America, Brazil (the only country where porn could thrive) was having censorship problems as it was with just mainstream films. The French government had a tight grip on movie exhibition and there were always censorship problems with mainstream films. Even after they loosened their grip in 1975, they quickly reasserted their authority by slapping a heavy surtax on hard-core movies and movie exhibition, so porn producers quickly retreated to video in the early 1980's.
The US was one of the few countries from 1970-75 that had a thriving porn movie market/exhibiton. Sure there were troubles (Mitchell Bros and de Renzy were continuously harassed by the authorities) but porn movies continued to be made and after DEEP THROAT it could not be stopped, as hard as they tried. France really came on the movie porn scene in mid 1975. As for Germany, I really can't put a date to it, although hard-core pornography in magazines and books was thriving before then. As far as I know Italian direcors (Joe D'Amato in particular) was inserting hard-core inserts in his movies by late 1970's, and it appears that some copies may have been exhibited on the sly in Italy here and there.

Dear karakacan, the first porn in Italy was Telefono rosso by Riccardo Schicchi in 1983. However, there are various films released in 70s, which contain hardcore scenes. If you will be content with finding these, search for films directed by Joe d'Amato, such as Porno Holocaust.

[mark shanon]

You must be very young. If you go by official data, then in Italy we never had porn. What you can pick up about distribution of porn material in theatres you can pick by the words of former viewers and producers and by evidence like that of the films themselves.

P.S. Who's Walter?
